Beautiful property but last day they had a concert which was so loud that we couldn't rest in our room. They should have informed us ahead of time and given option to move our room to the other side. Also at check out, they were not able to refund the pre auth amount back to us due to machine malfunction so hoping to hear back from them soon on that.

A Truly Exceptional Stay – A Heartfelt Thank You to an Outstanding Team from Jonathan Rudolph, Tampa, FL, USA Our recent stay on June 3rd and 4th was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the extraordinary hospitality delivered by the entire team. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Mr. Varun Babbar, Director of Rooms, and his stellar team for curating such a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine care. Ms. Dipali Deore, G. R. E, greeted us with a heartfelt Ayubōwan like no other and made us feel instantly at home. She went above and beyond, personally escorting us to our room and giving us a detailed walkthrough of the in-room and hotel amenities. Her passion for service was truly evident—she serves from the heart. At the front desk, Mr. Fayaz, Manager on Duty, led his team with professionalism and grace. Mr. Adhil Marikka, our check-in agent, was both professional and accommodating. After our long-haul journey from New York City, Adhil ensured a swift and seamless check-in, honoring our request for a Lotus Tower view and making the entire process efficient and stress-free. A special shout-out to the transportation coordination team, who ensured that all our local transfers were punctual and smooth. A shout out to the transportation and F&B team for the phenomenal job done. The team on June 3rd was among the best I’ve encountered in my global travels as a frequent traveler.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Cinnamon Life Hotel - City of Dreams, and I must say, my experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, the exceptional customer service set the tone for my visit. Every team member I interacted with demonstrated an impressive level of attentiveness, care, and kindness. Upon check-in, I was warmly greeted by Bhagya at the reception. Her attentiveness and thorough explanations of the hotel’s facilities made navigating this expansive property a breeze. I was fortunate to be upgraded to a Sea View room, which was a delightful surprise and added to the overall enjoyment of my stay. Dipali, the Guest Relations Executive, truly went above and beyond. She took the time to personally escort me to my room, explaining all the amenities and answering my numerous questions with genuine enthusiasm. Her passion for hospitality was evident in the way she greeted each guest with respect and warmth. This personal touch made my experience memorable and truly enjoyable. I also want to highlight Sanjay, the VIP Executive, who was incredibly attentive and accommodating. He assisted me with a late check-out, ensuring that my departure was as smooth and stress-free as my arrival. The kindness and care exhibited by the entire team made me feel valued as a guest, which is a rare experience in today’s hospitality industry. The hotel itself is stunning, and I thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking infinity

The hotel is modern, clean and luxurious but a bit sterile. The many high end bars and restaurants are all behind closed doors and there is no casual bar or lounge area to watch sport or have a coffee or a drink. The pool closes at 6.00pm, but a DJ pumps loud dance music into the empty poolside bar all night, which we could hear from our room many floors above. The only way to leave on foot is the driveway ramp, which has no footpath.
