Overall it was a lovely experience. There were few things which could have better, e.g. waiting time to check in, being 45 minutes to 1 hour is not acceptable. We did the walking tour with Anshika to Château Bel Ombre , who is a very bubbly, caring and dedicated person to her job. She has a great energy and enthusiasm. She welcomed every question. Before this we also did a relaxation with a lady (Ooma) at the Spa for 15 mins. Her positive energy was very revitalising. The burger truck, both the order person and the lady making the burger were very nice. Delicious burgers. The head pastry chef greeted us and great pain au chocolat :) Thank you for the lovely stay.

We went for a day use last week with 26 pax and it was wonderful. The check in was not so long, the receptionists were friendly and kind. The cocktails/mocktails from the pool bar were very good,we received every drink we ordered despite they were very busy shoutout to the barmen and barwaiters. We really loved the food at the buffet restaurant as it was very tasty and it had many variety of food. We celebrated two birthdays and it was satisfying to see all the waiters/waitresses gathering together to sing along happy birthday! Special mention to goodluck who gave us an excellent service with his kindness and smile. He’s a big shoutout to the hotel and he is destined for greater things! Read less

Whats Up Travellers Here we are at Tamassa Resort again for the second time during the year and of course it should be again Tamassa Pals.What do you want more than perfect hospitality and a beautiful resort to forget all worries and daily life stress for a bit. We had great family time,memorable moments and awesome hospitality which once again exceeded expectations.Foods were out of this world. So many varieties of dishes representing different cultures were prepared. Salute to the Chef for their amazing delicacies.The staffs were all very friendly and help to their level best to fulfill your requests. As soon as we checked in,our rooms were ready and it is the best thing to enjoy the comfy bed after a long tiring trip.We were given nice rooms near the pool which were superb for the kids.They could enjoy maximum during this summer season. We could enjoy the different kinds of land and sea activities. You want to spend a nice,joyful and entertaining holiday then Tamassa is your destination. For my family , Tamassa is ''OUR HOME''. We shall be back soon next year for our family vacation. BUT there are people in the picture without whom it will be impossible to make our vacation magical namely Mr Ashish ( CFO of Lux Group) who is always there to do his best for us and Mr Nishad who is the main person at the resort who ensures from Check in to Check out that we are doing well and we are enjoying our holiday maximum possible.Every day he is there meeting us for some minutes to check if we have any more requests to enjoy even better.
