Arrived in the morning and intended to drop our single bag at the reception before heading out to the attractions. Standard check-in is at 3PM, however a helpful and considerate staff (Ms Nitya) offered a room that happened to be ready by chance. Upon returning from a strenuous day at the attractions, we headed out to the pools. There was no refreshments bar/service counter or any staff around. There was a phone, but it would have been helpful to know through a signage that we can order food/beverages through calling the restaurant. The pool at the ground level was in a secluded and nice area next to some greenery, BUT it would have been good to have some staff there at least coordinating towels, cleaning off the excessive dried leaves, sand and stones in the bottom of the pool. No signage of where to discard used towels or opportunity to order refreshments again. But the greatest disappointment that really left a bad dent in our hope for a nice stay, was when we were trying to get basic food service at their only restaurant - Shutters.
It was just the two of us, my daughter (11 y/o) and I - we arrived at the restaurant and there was only two other occupied tables. We ordered VERY simple meals (pasta and noodles). Guests who arrived AFTER us were being served and we continued to sit and stare. Food arrived AFTER waiting for MORE than AN HOUR, and it tasted bland and horrible. Interestingly, they had the audacity to still bill us for the terrible experience!
