Thanks pricesquire , your interesting note is about right
It like going back to home base & for some , it is their 3 rd / 4 th home anyway .

1 . Spot on . Have highlighted to them , doesn't seem to have been addressed & this was 4 months ago .
2 . Yes , lead by pioneer staff .
3 . Glad you visited this time of the year so the special beach is there
4 . This is likely baby jellyfish. Had a terrible time once , swimming to the pontoon . It seemed closer to swim there then return . Waved to be rescued as definitely wasn't swimming back .
So one of the beach boys came by the ' rescue ' boat .
Since then , I always checked with the beach boys / lifeguards on water conditions .
5 . I swim in that pool no matter where I stay at Puri , lovely to see the horizon from in the pool . There ' re usually swimmers before tea
