We chose this location for a staycation with our family. My father has had recent health issues and hence his ability to move has been limited. Going to this resort was a way for us to enjoy some down time as well as letting my father move about and enjoy.
From that perspective it proved to be a great choice. The hotel is very nicely structured with a wide corridor that's great to walk around - which my father enjoyed.
The rest of the family enjoyed the private beach, the shack, the swimming pool and the recreation room. I even enjoyed some street cricket by the beach with a few other guests (the equipment was brought by the guests, not provided by the hotel).
The rooms are nice & spacious and the hospitality top class. I paid top of the line, but I can happily say the experience was worth it.
Couple of things to improve on - (a) the Melting pot is the only functioning restaurant during week days. If you are planning to stay purely at the resort, that can be a bit boring. The shack by the beach has drinks and snacks but isn't a full dining place and Tao of Peng was entirely closed during our weekday-trip.
(b) The resort does not enforce dress code in the swimming pool. You will see people swimming with all sorts of attires. It is a well kept pool and the experience is great, but you might put off by people showing up in the pool in their normal clothes. (This is kind of normal in India, but I would've expect IHG to have international norms).
Overall great!
