Excellent place, neat and tidy, very polite staff. Caretaker Rekha and sham are very good, they have made our stay very pleasant. The location is perfect. It very close to main road, all points are nearby to this place. Overall a very good place to stay. The only drawback is lunch is charged separately even when majority villas include all three meals in th le same charge.
