The resort has stunning views of the Bay of Bengal and the nearby crocodile bank, with plenty of migratory birds adding to the beauty. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. However, the noise from the highway can be a downside, and the dining experience was somewhat hampered by service issues. Overall, it's a luxurious spot worth visiting, especially for nature lovers.

The resort had great amenities, but I struggled a bit with the dining facilities. It was sometimes set up in a makeshift conference hall instead of a dedicated restaurant.

I enjoyed my stay at the resort with its stunning views of the Bay of Bengal and the Crocodile Bank tree cover, which was bustling with thousands of migratory birds. The room was nice, but I expected amenities for two people, while only one set of towels was provided. The gardens were beautiful, but they overshadowed the sea view. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, though some minor issues kept it from being perfect.

The bay suite offered a breathtaking view of the crocodile bank's tree cover filled with migratory birds and a lovely perspective of the Bay of Bengal. However, it was more garden-centered than I anticipated.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The suite I stayed in offered breathtaking views of the Bay of Bengal and the migratory birds, which was definitely a highlight. However, I was disappointed with the lack of amenities provided for two guests despite booking for two. The service overall was exceptional, but the dining experience was hit or miss, especially with closed facilities during peak hours. Overall, it’s a lovely spot, but a few improvements could make it more enjoyable.

Staying at this resort was a mixed experience. The beach access was just a stone's throw away, which I loved, and the rooms were quite spacious and comfortable. However, the dining situation left much to be desired with limited options and some service issues. The pool area was relaxing, but the pricing felt a bit off considering the overall experience. Overall, it has great potential but needs some improvement in dining.
