I had an incredible experience at Thaala Hotel, where I was greeted warmly and enjoyed a peaceful environment. The deluxe room I upgraded to was spacious and stylish, with lovely access to the gardens and breathtaking ocean views. While I appreciated the attentive housekeeping and restaurant staff, I felt there was a slight gap in overall service consistency-which is a minor drawback. Nevertheless, I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for its atmosphere and pampering.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel where the cleanliness and comfortable atmosphere really stood out. The staff was incredibly caring and made sure I had everything I needed. While the location next to a stunning beach was ideal for leisurely walks, the dining options were a letdown, especially for breakfast. The pools were enjoyable and well-maintained, making up for the less-than-stellar food experience.
