Amazing experience by Stay Ananta, seamless check-in and stay experience. Icing on the cake was the caretaker Arun, humble, polite and available in the go. He managed all our small requests and was on the spot. The indoor pool is a plus but avoid during cold weather, heated pool would make it 10 on 10, still it is 9.5 on 10.
