The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Lovely Dining Experience

The food options at The Racha were a good surprise. I particularly loved the themed buffet nights; the seafood buffet was absolutely scrumptious with fresh local crab and lobster. Each meal was a feast for the senses, and the ambiance while dining by the beach made it even more special.
