at the Casa Padma and I'm one of the not impressed.
Large rooms and great location but the room we had was very rundown and I found the place to be sterile and quite charmless. The bathroom was very tired and could have used a good clean. Because of the colour of the tiles you could easily see scum and calcium deposits. The drain was full of hair and other debris and the hotwater took a long time to come through (sometimes up to 15 minutes). Most days rather than waste so much water and time we just showered while the water was still cold. While the pool is quite large its (to pinch a quote from Mic) actually more of a big water feature. You'll understand what I mean when you see it. The pool bar no longer operates. The best things about this hotel is the size of the rooms (they are very spacious) and its location. Its right smack bang in the middle of the action and only a short walk to the beach. I have some photos on webshots under my username if you're interested. The photos actually make the room look a lot better than it actually was :)
