Really good Ayurvedic Journey

“My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful 'Ayurvedic Journey' at the spa. Dr. Nashika's guidance was amazing, and the treatments felt deeply rejuvenating. It wasn't just functional; this spa has a true soul, and I left feeling renewed and grateful for the wonderful experience.” view full review

Delicious Culinary Experience

“The food at The Fortress was absolutely good! Both the a la carte menu and the buffet offered a fantastic selection, with the seafood buffet on Saturdays being a standout. Every meal was an opportunity to indulge in fresh, delicious dishes, including amazing calamari and prawns that I couldn't get enough of.” view full review

Stunning Room with Ocean Views

“We stayed in an ocean view room that exceeded all our expectations! It was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and the very nice views from our room made our stay even more special. Plus, the room was equipped with all the amenities we could have wished for.” view full review

My stay at The Fortress was unforgettable, a true sanctuary after exploring the Cultural Triangle. The hotel boasts an incredible beachfront location and a welcoming staff that made our experience even better. The variety of food was impressive and beautifully presented, although I did find the drinks to be quite pricey. Overall, this hotel offered great luxury and comfort, but be cautious about your bar bill and the occasionally loud construction work nearby.
