My boyfriend had a class at this hotel, so we stayed here for 8 nights in November. I really enjoyed it! The service was top notch, the room was spacious and clean, and the food was absolutely divine! We hadn't really eaten anywhere else in India, so I don't know how it compares, I just know that I was happy eating the buffet for every meal the entire week that we were there. We never even made it to the fancy restaurant! There were so many choices. I wish that I knew the names of the staff members, if they could wear name tags that would be awesome, I would love to have given them recognition. I would stay here again if I ever needed to go back. I never walked outside the hotel, there wasn't much around, but I felt very safe and completely happy just relaxing and enjoying reading by the pool.
