4 out of 5

Nice Hotel only no real beach to speak of.

The hotel is good albeit a little on the expensive side for some things. Internet you have to pay for which is considered a basic service in the modern day and should be free. Staff are very attentive and the food in the restaurants is very good. The exclusive club section is particularly nice. Do not come to this hotel if you are expecting to be right on the beach as it's on a cliff really, whilst there is no such thing as a private beach in India.
