Well, there just aren't enough wonderful adjectives to give a review of this hotel to do it justice. First of all, the hostess, Pirkko, is a jewel. Very friendly and accommodating. The pool villa is stunning and a private pool is an experience not to be missed. This hotel was included in our luxury tour of southern India and was... More
