What is recommended:

- above transit hotel for 2 x 6 hour blocks?
- Taj at airport?
- some other option?

Ideally I would like the option of 7 hours sleep, 2-3 hour massage, maybe 1-2 hours nearby sightseeing / beach walking... (is there even a beach relatively close by...?)
With a 20 hour layover I would definitely leave the airport. I've done the Jetwing Beach hotel in a similar situation. Was very satisfied with it.
