I spent a few nights in a Premier Sea View Room. The views of the sea were scenic. The staff was helpful (I especially noted Kumar by the pool).
The hotel is large, but the service was sometimes slow.

Cliffside Serenity
direct beach infinity pool landscaped garden
The resort offered direct beach access. I particularly enjoyed the infinity pools and the views of the Arabian Sea. The landscaped gardens also added to the peaceful atmosphere (perfect for an afternoon stroll).
The minibar consumption check at 4 PM felt intrusive. I believe this could be done at a more convenient time to avoid disturbing guests.

The room featured a lovely terrace. I found the views of the sea calming. The room was spacious with charming decor.
