This was a beautiful stay with very quiet and serene environment. The breakfast and dinner buffets at Spectra were the highlight for us. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay. We stayed 4 nights but did not get bored of the breakfast buffets and dinner, they had a variety of options everyday.

Excellent service provided by Ajit Anurag Head Concierge. He helped to plan a meaningful tour for us and ensured that everything went well for me and my family. Ariful Haque gave us a memorable Art tour within the Palace and answered all our questions patiently. Aditiya Prasad, the Lead Concierge was ever ready to make sure that our needs were addressed and always served with a smile.
