Delicious Evening Meals

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the hotel's restaurant, where the menu was filled with great options. I loved the Indian cuisine, especially the pav bhaji. The freshness and variety of the food inspired me to choose to eat at the hotel every evening, enjoying the amazing beach views while having my meals.
