I have stayed in many hotels across the globe, but this was the only hotel where they refilled the mini bar with three soft drinks, one juice, one packet of nuts, and a packet of biscuits completely free of charge. I loved the infinity pool and rooftop garden, delicious breakfast, and their specious lobby. The hotel gave me a free upgrade as a goodwill gesture since I booked for six nights. I enjoyed the sunset from their private beach lounge, which was a moment to cherish. The hotel also arrange a complimentary city tour for their guests everyday. All these touch points were great moments of truth to me. I highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel room was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. The best part was the spa. Lakhmani was my therapist. The massage and the spa ambience were an experience to remember.

DANA

From

Singapore

I especially loved the warm, discreet service. and that most of the staff have been in Mr Bawa's service for many years prior to his passing. They have a palpable sense of love and respect for the late Mr Bawa, his legacy and property. Their reverence and devotion is the most heart warming to encounter and speak volumes for the man we came to pay homage to.
