Culinary Paradise

The food at the 24-degrees restaurant was exquisite! I looked forward to every meal, especially with Chef Sheroy's diverse menu. The breakfast options were superb, featuring freshly prepared dishes. The Indian Thali banquet on our last night was a nice experience that highlighted their culinary expertise.

Relaxing Spa Retreat

The Jiva Spa was nothing short of amazing! I enjoyed a couples warrior massage that reflexively released my body tension. It was such a good experience; we felt so rejuvenated and relaxed afterwards. Rajitha was really good and truly worked wonders!

Luxurious Bathroom Experience

The bathroom in our villa was huge and beautifully designed, featuring a stunning bathtub that overlooked enchanting views of the lagoon. Rose petal bubble baths were a good surprise that added a romantic touch to our stay. Every detail reflected high standards of cleanliness and luxury.
