The overall experience was great. The staff is friendly and responsive. I particularly liked the food served at Aqua, which is why I was disappointed at the food quality from Carnivorous. The food was served luke warm at best and the meats did not meet the standards one would expect from a reservations only establishment. Maybe you should take a cue from the food consumption and wastage on a night by night basis at Carnivorous.

Its a beautiful resort. The staff are truly wonderful, the food is lovely and there are plenty of options. The wings at asiatique are 10/10!. I wish I had taken all of my own toiletries, theirs aren't great. But the staff take this resort from great to amazing. A huge extra thank you to Ajay and Vishwas for making our holiday so special.
