Vayu Retreat Villas was very special from the second we arrived until the moment we had to leave. The owners made us feel welcome and treated us like family. They were very attentive and made our stay an outstanding one. Everyone is really friendly, from cleaning/gardening to kitchen staff. Food was delicious, whether it was for breakfast or dinner. The suite really met our taste when it comes to design choices. Their eye for details, providing good coffee, umbrellas and any service you could possibly need before even asking is excellent. Best part was the private terrace overlooking the surrounding nature. This place is really peaceful and lets you relax from whatever stress you might have had."
