My stay at Lavanga Beach had its ups and downs. The spacious rooms were a highlight, featuring impressive towel sculptures made by housekeeping. However, I faced significant plumbing issues and slow service that detracted from the overall experience.

My stay at Lavanga Beach wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. While the location right by the beach was a plus, the hotel's condition and service left a lot to be desired.

I tried the breakfast, but it was pretty poor. The options were mostly low-quality curry dishes that looked recycled from the dinner buffet the night before. I'd skip the food here next time.
