Surprised
as
I
am,
I
will
miss
my
Quarantine
days
@
Veranda
Palmar
Beach
Hotel.
I
came
with
full
expectations
of
a
boring
quarantine,
confined
to
my
room.
But
this
has
been
one
of
those
memorable
times!
This
place
changed
it
completely
for
me.
The
staff
had
left
no
stone
unturned
to
make
this
stay
a
pleasant
and
memorable
one.
Everything
was
smooth
and
systematic,
right
from
the
time
we
arrived
from
the
airport,
to
the
food
service.
The
rooms
were
pre-allocated,
everything
that
we
would
require
for
the
next
14
days
were
already
kept
in
our
rooms.
I
was
working
during
the
weekdays,
and
I
could
not
ask
for
a
better
work
desk
-
view
of
the
beach
at
a
distance,
chirping
of
sparrows
around,
blossoming
bounganvilla
near
my
veranda,
and
good
wi-fi.
The
staff,
including
Sindy,
the
manager,
chief
cook,
and
the
waitress
Anusha
were
very
sweet
and
always
greeted
me
with
a
big
smile.
They
regularly
checked
on
to
see
if
I
was
comfortable.
And
any
need/concern
was
addressed
within
minutes.
I
required
brighter
lights
to
read
and
they
had
it
fixed
within
an
hour.
I
was
in
work-calls
and
couldn't
answer
calls
from
the
staff,
and
they
were
quick
to
adjust.
They
even
helped
me
get
my
luggage
to
my
room
(I
was
told
not
to
expect
that).
And
most
importantly,
the
staff
regularly
checked
in
during
this
period.
They
made
sure
we
felt
cared
for.
The
Zumba
sessions,
yoga
session,
live
music
evenings,
live
cooking
and
the
weekend
music,,
crown
of
flowers
strung
by
the
staff,
all
of
which
we
would
enjoy
from
the
veranda/balcony
of
our
respective
rooms,
turned
this
quarantine
stay
into
a
holiday!
Not
a
single
gloomy
day
here.
Meals
were
always
delivered
with
a
wide
smile
and
eating
it
brought
a
bigger
smile!
It
was
delicious!
There
were
3
menu
options
to
choose
from
for
every
lunch
and
dinner.
The
pastries
and
sweets
were
amazing.
I
am
a
non-vegetarian
and
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
food.
Tips
to
enjoy
your
quarantine:
1.
Keep
your
self
occupied.
Work/study/read
a
book.
Good
time
to
catch
up
on
those
things
that
you
have
been
postponing
for
long.
2.
Wifi
is
good.
Have
regular
video
calls
daily
with
friends
and
family.
3.
Watch
that
funny
movie/documentary
again
that
had
taken
your
wits
off!
4.
Exercise.
Yes,
I
said
it.
Staying
indoors
with
limited
movement
can
make
you
feel
restless.
Spare
an
hour
for
Yoga
in
the
morning
or
do
simple
workouts
in
your
room.
There
are
ample
videos
and
blogs
available.
5.
Sleep,
sleep
and
sleep..
Once
you
step
out,
you
will
be
back
to
the
mad-rushing
world.
6.
Solve
puzzles,
read
book,
call
people
-
keep
your
brain
active.
7.
And
chill
-
You
will
be
here
for
14
days.
Just
take
that
glass
of
cold
coffee,
sit
in
the
sit-out
chair,
look
at
the
peaceful
beach,
enjoy
the
beautiful
scenic
view
and
relaxxxx...
Thank
you
Veranda
Palmar!!
