Maritime Tales

"A neat little sports..." 19 Apr 2009
A neat little sports bar located on the resort. The bar is bit dark and had a large projection TV. The service like in the rest of resort was impeccable although they were a bit distracted by the game on TV (IPL league) . The bar menu is pretty good, had a good selection of single malts. Their beer selection is small, only Kingfisher, Heineken and Coronoa. Could definitely offer more and maybe a few on tap. My wife had a couple mocktails and enjoyed the Guava drink. They have a snack menu too. But your drink does come with some peanuts and flavoured crisps. We ordered a plate of spicy Indian style pan fried prawns, pretty good. We sat indoors in air conditioned comfort but in the evenings it might be nice to sit outside by the pool and under the trees.

Santa Maria

"A spread worth waking up for!" 19 Apr 2009
Wow! Now that's what I call a great breakfast spread. We've only had breakfast at this place and its truly a great experience. The place is open for about 4 hours between 7 am and 11:30 am and it might just be too short to eat all they had to offer. The buffet table stretched the entire length of the restaurant. It started with fresh juices, cold milk, a selection of breakfast cereals, fresh fruits and yogurt. The muesli was really tasty and went really well with the Kiwi yogurt. There was a large Indian selection that included, Idly, freshly made dosas, sambar, chutneys, paranthas, bondas and more. All pretty good! They also had a egg station. Order your egg to your liking and its is brought to your table. But wait there is lots more- Bacon, sausages, cutlets, a selections of breads, baked beans, steamed vegetables..... Coffee and tea are complimentary and so is a bottle of orange juice. The service was great. Very attentive and polite staff. The ambiance and decor was really nice and neat. Looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast!

Ayush Therapy Centre - GRT Temple Bay

"Comfort and relaxation delivered!" 19 Apr 2009
The great rooms, views and food at GRT are further complimented by the uber relaxing services at Ayush. This morning I had a head and foot massage. 20 minutes of each that leaves you wanting more and hoping it does not end. The head massage also includes a ear (Yes! ear), neck and shoulder massage. You sit on a little wooden stool that granted could have been a bit more comfortable. But then again when you are going to Ayush you need to expect a true organic experience. The foot massage is done lying down for part of it on your back and the other part on your stomach. It includes a calf massage. The oils are both room temperature and warm. The room is perfectly acclimatised and aromatized. It is quiet except for calming tunes of Indian music. The masseur was very polite and very good. After the massage he checked with me if it was good and even spent some time explaining the benefits of Ayurveda. A great experience. Tomorrow I return for the full body massage and the Shirodhara. Can't wait!

Peaberry Beach Cafe

"Cool Place!" 31 May 2009
Was in and out of there quickly, but must say this place does to its part to stand out from the Baristas and CCDs. It has a varied menu and some signature coffees. Would like to return soon.

Mocha Mojo

"Gotta lotta Mojo!" 01 Aug 2009
Funky colorful and sometimes loud, Mocha's decor definitely has some mojo! The menu is extensive with some of the usual suspects and a few signature drinks. While the coffee is mediocre the ambiance and atmosphere makes it a cool place to hang out and even seems to make everything taste better!
