Loved the pool
Charges for lunch and dinner buffet were very steep

Everything except the staff were good. My booking through bookings.com and the hotel was a horrible experience. After having a guaranteed booking against my bank card I was forced to make an immediate payment otherwise my guaranteed booking would be subject to availability. So I had to literally talk to 10 different authorities from bookings and Dukes and still I was forced to make the payment. God Bless them.

Nothing. Cut our trip short
Booking.com did not specify the pool was in operational during our stay. We had multiple communication with the hotel before coming on our credit card details but noone mentioned the pool not functioning. We were offered pool services in another property but that was extremely unhygienic. The staff also did not make any effort to check the pool condition. We had to cut our stay short and checkin to another hotel the same day. This property is getting old and needs serious renovations

One incident I would like to mention. We had little complaint about a food item. When we reported it, not only immediate replacement was offered but so many staff members came apologizing to us that we started feeling guilty.
