We enjoyed a wonderful crab curry in the open-air pool pavilion, and the chef were pretty good too accommodate our two fussy eaters by preparing their favorite dishes like pasta and fried rice. It was such a relief to dine at the hotel after a long day of exploring, we could relax and enjoy our meals without the hassle of going out.” view full review
