Just need to mention Chathurya works at the main restaurant was excellent in customer service. This young girl is doing a great job. ##### Nandana Lalith Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wijitha Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities After paying premium price if you need to use the SPA or Jacuzzi you need to book 15-30 minutes early and they charge Rs 7000/ per session 15 minutes. Didn’t think it was worth. ##### Wijitha Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gursimrut Dec 13, 2025 Disliked: Amenities This should not be 5\* property. The welcome was awful, and not at all welcoming for a Shangri-la. We were not even walked to our room! The outside of the property is dated too. The reservation/lobby staff overall were awful, not welcoming at all despite it being a 5\* accomodation. The sauna/spa was at an extra cost and the pool staff would only provide towels when asked. The WiFi throughout the hotel is very poor. Around the property, there is nothing and a tuk/car is required. It feels if you are a local, you are well looked after, which is a shame. Ultimately, a very disappointing stay in what we thought was supposed to be an amazing hotel. The food however was very good as were all the restaurant staff, and up to the standard of 5\* hotel. Wouldn't come back. ##### Gursimrut Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christi Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent service with good staff. ##### Christi Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohamad Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff.

Its absolutely amazing.

And the staff is really slow. ##### Iliana Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Isthiaq Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service This property has potential, but is poorly coordinated and their communication is utterly disjointed between the departments and staff. ##### Isthiaq Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Prasanga Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Only problem is transportation ##### Prasanga Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jagpreet Jun 22, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Holiday at Shangri-La We had a great stay at the hotel. Though there were a few issues with the room , i.e the safe was not working , the room bell did not work and the bathroom had issues, however the hotel staff was prompt in taking care of these issues. They also upgraded our room category. The staff was very warm and hospitable and took good care of us. We had a great time at the resort. The activities in the resort are quite interesting and the facilities like Gym , Pool etc are exceptional. We will refer this hotel to our friends and family and would love to go there again in the future. ##### Jagpreet ### 8/10 Good #### Mariam Mar 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had to wait for an hour for our room to be ready even though we arrived on time and pre-booked months before. There was no compensation offered either for the inconvenience. The rooms are quite far from the elevators so there was a lot of walking involved just to get anywhere. Apart from that, the hotel was good. ##### Mariam Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Iliana Apr 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Back to the 90s It seems that since it first open, no investment has gone into the hotel. Old facilities, very slow service with just a few good service guys trying their best. 70% of them go in circles. It can take an hour to get drinks and pizza. We played golf, tho the caddies try their best, the equipment for rental is incomplete and old. No shop… really poor vision of what this business could do. ##### Iliana Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mikhail Jan 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Big and nice facility similar to 5-star hotels in Turkey. Food is quite nice. Area around the hotel is also big and nice. There is nowhere to go other than the hotel area and there is really nothing to do if the weather is not good - no leisure is organized for the hotel guests except for 12.00pm aerobics once a day. Prepare for a one-week waiting like to the spa, they only have 2 massage girls and 1 ayurveda specialist for a huge facility. Ocean is not good for swimming. Sunbathing beds/decks are few and occupied by some guests in the morning and abandoned till the come to enjoy the pool around noon time, so prepare to fight for those to get a space by the pool. Staff is friendly but many of them do not understand English very well or may be there is some other reason, but getting things done - should it be a cup of coffee or getting your laundry bag back to the room can take 5 times more times and efforts than you originally planned. Really this hotel is overestimated and except for a fancy facility and good food, it is the most boring place on Earth. ##### Mikhail Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sally Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Der sportbereich ist super man hat mehrere geräte nicht nur frei hantel. Das Restaurant Personal ist super lieb. Unser Caddie beim golfen war auch mega er hat uns nebenbei viel übers land erzählt. Leider kann man nicht viel ausserhalb vom Hotel machen. Aber im Hotel kann man ein paar aktivitäten machen wie zb klettern und zipline, golf, trapez, gym , billard, pingpong ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/63efcaf9-d3bc-465f-84e5-5d8a107b387c-1760315583064.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99672316-28ee-4eff-b062-7a9b87ba595a-1760315595162.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/43bf89b9-0304-48a9-8b0a-7e5abb883aeb-1760315593641.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5944d982-2d5b-4dcc-bb8e-689f030b413d-1760315592956.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sally Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerstin Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wir kommen mit Familie und zum hoöfen.
