I was overall disappointed with my stay, considering the price I paid. The location and view were stunning, but the amenities and service left much to be desired. While the beach is close by, the lack of basic facilities and slow service significantly impacted my experience. If you're looking for better value, I would suggest exploring other options nearby.

The location is perfect, nestled in a serene area that allows for a peaceful escape while still being close to local attractions. The rooms provided a lovely view of the beach from the balcony, but the cleanliness was a significant issue during my stay. While the restaurant had delicious food and decent service, the overall experience was marred by subpar room maintenance and insufficient attention from the staff. I would suggest exploring alternatives before settling here.

My stay at the resort was disappointing overall. While the location is stunning right on Arambol Beach with beautiful gardens, the cleanliness and maintenance of the rooms left much to be desired. The service was supportive, and the restaurant atmosphere was relaxing, but the music was quite loud late into the night, making it hard to sleep. I had high hopes for a comfortable retreat but found myself wishing for better conditions.

The cottages are nicely positioned at Arambol Beach, but they need serious cleaning and maintenance. There was a stain on the bedding, and the noise from the restaurant made it hard to sleep.

My stay was at a beautiful beachfront property which offered a unique atmosphere with cottages nestled in an open garden. The location is definitely a highlight, perfect for beach lovers. Although I enjoyed the cozy room, I found the dining experience lacking and the restaurant closed during my off-peak visit. Overall, it was a mixed experience with a charming setting but some areas needing improvement.
