Read moreWe had one day stay at TSG aura. Best resort at Neil Island. The resort is full of positive and aesthetic vibes with garden, attached to Seethapur beach, we can enjoy the sunrise from the door step of resort. The rooms are too good with balcony and 24 hours hot water facility.. The hospitality of the staff is amazing. The welcoming behaviour from the reception staff at the high rate. The food at moonlight restaurant is mind blowing.. Very tasty with less spices and variety of foods. The menu will be prepared keeping different regions of the nation. The captain taking keen interest and concern of the restaurant and guests. The manager handling well too. Overall a peaceful and stress releasing stay. Great experience if you with family...
