What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The buffet at the Seagull was excellent, offering a vast selection of both Indian and continental dishes. Each meal was a good exploration of flavors, and I particularly loved the live cooking stations where I could enjoy freshly made items. The ability to dine outside with a view was a lovely touch, especially during our special Diwali celebration.

Unwind at the Pool

The pool area at the resort was fabulous, spacious, and well-maintained. With plenty of comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas, I could relax all day. The attentive pool staff were quick to assist, providing refreshments, which made lounging by the water even more enjoyable. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring.
