I paid extra for a sea‑view room and it was worth it—bright, two balconies, and no feeling of being trapped, plus spotless, new linens, a comfy bed, and thorough housekeeping; breakfast was decent for vegans, offering boiled eggs, sprouted grains, bean dishes, occasional oatmeal, and fruit on some days, though requests for eggs cooked differently were ignored and the drink selection was sub‑par, coming from a cheap machine. I disliked the garden‑view room I was first given and had to pay to switch because it was dim, with a large glass door that had to stay closed by a curtain since it faced the central alley, making it feel like a dark capsule; the shower gel and shampoo were mediocre despite being cheap to buy nearby, and when I asked for fresh‑pressed juice at an extra charge, I was told they didn’t have mango or papaya, only watermelon, which was odd given a fruit stall was just steps away, and unlike other places in India or Thailand where staff would offer to fetch missing items from the market within ten minutes, no such option was offered here.
