Very nice but could improve.
The hotel is very nice, service is well intentioned, overly polite as per training but insincere as requests for later check out rejected - unless we pay extra. Magnanimous gesture they finally offered a 30 minute extension! I requested 2 hours, so I wasn’t being unreasonable. The pool area is the highlight but inadequate number of sunbeds for guests so we missed out and sat at bar table. We decided to hire a car but when we arrived for the ‘free’ guest car parking, people had double and triple parked and it was chaos. Not much in local area so either hire a car or spend $20-30 on Ubers every outing. Zero eco friendliness as they provide tiny bottles of single use plastic toiletries and then leave a card about being environments concerned so recommending re-using the towels! Bit ironic.

Very unhappy with our stay.
Don’t get the Suite if you would like to have a nice view. It’s sad that you are paying more for a bigger room when in fact a smaller room has better views and for whatever reason the hotel cannot inform you that the pool, bar and restaurant will be closed because of preparation for an event. I am sorry but I am very unhappy about my stay and it’s not acceptable that customers can’t at least be informed that amenities aren’t available during their stay. The concierge was great but the rest was so not worth the money we spent, especially for a 5-star hotel.

I was disappointed with my recent stay at Ramada. The room felt outdated, old. The lighting in the room was quite dim and dingy. The shower was not up to the mark and there was a bad odor coming from the bathroom. Overall, my experience fell short of expectations, making it difficult to recommend this hotel. I would not rate this hotel as a 5 star, I would rate it as a low 1 star. I want Expedia to give me reimbursement for my bad experience , as we paid 27000 INR for 2 night we could have easily spent another 13k and got four seasons , trident or Sofitel and get a real five star experience Do not recommend this place . As the premises need some serious upgrade to call it 5 star
