Amazing Ayurvedic Treatment

The Ayurvedic treatments at Ideal were really good. I had multiple massages that were deep and rejuvenating, thanks to my therapist Kavitha, who worked her magic. Daily treatments helped in releasing toxins from my body and left me feeling refreshed and revitalized. I can honestly say the experience exceeded my expectations.

Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine

The dining experience was truly good! Each meal was carefully tailored to my dietary needs while undergoing detox, yet every dish was a joy to eat. The chefs did a fantastic job, and I looked forward to every meal as a highlight of my stay. It was amazing to experience such flavorful vegetarian cuisine.

The resort offers a serene environment perfect for those seeking Ayurvedic treatments. The massages and wellness programs are exceptional, but the dining experience left much to be desired, with bland food options. The rooms are basic but clean, and the staff is incredibly polite and helpful. Although it's a bit of a trek to the beach, the lush greenery and tranquil setting make it a lovely getaway.
