Relaxing Spa Experience

“During my stay at Tamarind, I indulged in a vigorous scented-oil massage at the spa. While I had booked separately, the experience was quite pleasant, even though they couldn't accommodate a couple's massage due to staffing. The ambiance was serene, and I left feeling rejuvenated.” view full review

Nice Dining Experiences

“I dined at the 246 Restaurant during my last night, where the ambiance was enhanced by a fabulous saxophone player. The food, including clam chowder and Ribeye steak, was impressive. I appreciated the waitress’s commitment to quality, as she refused to serve a dessert she deemed subpar.” view full review
