This was my 6th time at this ayurveda resort. It was family-like; I was pampered, looked after, the rooms have been renovated and improved. The service and the food are first class! Every wish is fulfilled! I was honored, like others, for the repeated stays and still got a parting gift and the manager spoke to me personally.
