      “Paradise Peace Tranquility”

      Its an absolute value for money proposition. Its small owner-managed boutique property with its set of personality. The rooms, food and the service are outstanding. This is a place for people looking to enjoy a family holiday without getting confined inside a crowded resort.This is not a resort.

      “Wonderful time. Praveena is a great host. ”

      Had a great time. We were a couple and our pet dog. Location is a bit desolate, but I guess that's the charm of a retreat. Rest all is superb. Food is good, homemade. Breakfast is complementary and great.
