I had a wonderful lunch experience at Shanthi Beach Resort right after spending the morning at Turtle Beach. The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the prices were really good. The only downside was that I couldn't stay for dinner to try more of their menu offerings, but overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a local dining experience.

I had a really disappointing stay at this property. The customer service was lacking, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. I encountered severe issues like slippery floors and a horrible smell in the room. The only redeeming quality was the stunning sunset view from the garden side balcony, which I really appreciated.

My stay was disappointing overall, with so many issues that I can't recommend it. The rooms were old and dirty, and I faced problems with customer service. However, the sunset view from the balcony was a highlight that I appreciated. Honestly, I wouldn't pay for a stay here again, not even if it were free!
