We enjoyed a dream vacation on Villa Nautica Paradise Island. We had two different Sunset Beach Pool Villas with direct access to the beach.

We enjoyed a dream vacation on Villa Nautica Paradise Island. We had two different Sunset Beach Pool Villas with direct access to the beach. Both were different and functionally furnished, but still beautiful. The complex is partly getting on in years and needs renovation or refreshing. The entire resort as well as the beaches are very well maintained and kept clean daily. The food on offer is very tasty and varied, with the main focus on Indian cuisine. The athmosphere in the hotel is very pleasant, which is mainly due to the very friendly, helpful and upbeat staff. From the cleaning staff, the waiters in the service, the people at the buffet contributed to an unforgettable vacation. We would like to highlight a few members of staff in particular: First of all, our guest host Ajlan. He looked after us very professionally from the beginning until our departure and took care of our concerns. His charming, unobtrusive, friendly and gentle manner really appealed to us and we felt we were in very good hands. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him once again for his commitment. Ajlan, it was an honor for us that you got up for our very early departure and saw us off personally. What a great service! The two ladies at the restaurant reception, Geethika and Manikala were like sunshine to us and helped to get the day off to a good start. Each time they welcomed us with their charming manner. It was always a pleasure to see them. We would also like to praise Vijju and Vinay in the Restaurant service. They served us with great diligence, politeness and good humor. It was a pleasure to get to know them. Should the opportunity arise, we would gladly return. Philipp & Corine from Switzerland Read less
