Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

I stayed in a poolside room which was quite spacious and very comfortable. The room may not be ultra luxurious, but it was pretty decent for the price I paid. The ambiance was calm and serene, perfect for relaxation. The air conditioning worked well, ensuring a pleasant stay.

Refreshing Swimming Pool

The swimming pool at Deshadan was a major highlight of my stay. It was clean and well-maintained, offering a refreshing escape from the heat. With a depth of 4ft, both kids and adults enjoyed splashing around. It was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring.

Clean and Well-Equipped Bathrooms

The bathroom in my room was clean and equipped with decent toiletries. Everything worked as it should, and it added to the overall comfort of my stay. Even though there wasn't a geyser, the daily provision of water bottles made it manageable.

Our stay at this resort was truly enjoyable. The ambience was spacious and beautiful, nestled within well-maintained grounds. The rooms were comfortable, and we particularly loved the swimming pool, which was perfect for our kids. While the road to the resort was a bit narrow, the overall experience was delightful, especially with the delicious breakfast served every morning.

I had a very pleasant stay at the resort, which is just a short walk from the beach. The rooms were clean and reasonably sized for the price, and the food, especially breakfast, was quite tasty. The swimming pool was a nice touch for relaxing after a day out. The staff was courteous and attentive, making my experience even better. However, the rooms could use some modernization, and while the food was generally good, some items felt a bit average.
