Jalsa beach was a wonderful experience. The resort was exceptionally clean and the grounds were well kept. The staff were warm, friendly and kind. It was quiet as we went off season and the temperature was similar to the UK. It is tucked away which suited us. The proximity of the pool to the private shallow beach was a big plus as my daughter could play in both and I could supervise her from the lounger without having to keep moving around following her. It felt very safe and security were at the gated entrance and patrolled the grounds through the night. There was a good range of entertainment: gym, spa, giftshop, aqua aerobics, DJ night, karoke, cocktail making, making bracelets. There was even a cultural night with a demonstration of local dance and music, we were invited to join in at the end which was great fun. There was a good range of food, with the salads, seafood and desserts being my favourite. The staff made food especially for my daughter as she is vegetarian but doesn't like chilli. They even surprised me with a birthday cake for my 50th. It was a truly special experience, laid back vibe, quiet and friendly, feels more like a 4 to 4.5 star resort. Stunning part of the world that hasn't been spoilt by over tourism.
