Delicious Culinary Journey

The food was local cuisine at its best; the fresh-off-the-nets seafood was absolutely delectable. Everything is prepared fresh, and the portions are large enough to feed more than expected. I didn’t feel the need to try food elsewhere because it was that good!

Blissful Relaxation

I had the pleasure of experiencing some amazing Ayurvedic massages during my stay. The massages were truly relaxing and left me feeling rejuvenated. I recommend trying the Abhyagam or foot massage; they’re heavenly!
