Maharaju Palace

I fell in love with this room as soon as I saw it. It is a nice mix of old authentic furniture and eclectic modern touches like lamps, paintings visions. It has a nice and private verandah overlooking the garden. The hotel is close to the light house beach but quiet and away from the noisy sea-walk. There are bar, shops and restaurants at a short walking distance. The only difficulty: everything was too high in the room: The towel hangers. The bed, the mosquitoes net. Admittedly, I m a shorty. The owner, Martien has a great and pleasant sense of humour, great taste and a passion for his garden, Raju is your problem solver. The staff efficient and polite. I stayed on the ground floor at the cottage. I have not seen the rooms of the “palace”. I m sure they are super clean and simply, but nicely decorated. The breakfast room is spectacularly nice and breakfast is freshly made for you. There is no hair dryer or tv. There is a fridge and a boiler in the room. Organisation to airport in the heart of the night was impeccable. I will surely go back.
