Beautiful lobby and outdoor seating offer a feeling of luxury. Rooms are comfortable with nice views. The exercise room is well equipped, but tucked away in the basement spa. Massages were great. Previous Expedia comments are critical of the dining service. Part of this may be due to the buffet settings for group tours, where it is hard to keep food hot. It seems these options were mild, which makes sense for foreign guests. We weren't disappointed when ordering off the menu. They prepared dishes according to our liking, spicy for me and mild for my wife. The hotel staff was excellent, always friendly and welcoming, and always offering a greeting of Namaste. The hotel gardener gave us a tour of his herb garden and orchard, which provides fresh food for the dining room. The staff also work very hard, and I would suggest a few more staff would be helpful. With a full house, it was difficult to keep the pool area picked up. Front desk was extremely helpful, but gave us wrong time for Sound and Light show. When outside the hotel, we were constantly hassled for tips for every bit of services, but there was no such pressure in the hotel. I have mixed feelings whether this would be a good location for families. The large green area is a plus, but there is no shallow section in the pool (4.5 meters uniform). The bottom line is that we had a wonderful stay.
