The worst place, so called resort. The A/C cottage room rate was mentioned in website as 2800 inclusive of taxes till September 2013 but it was billed for 3700, and the receptionist doesn't want to talk about that as we reached the place. All the pictures mentioned in in website is fake, Even the infrastructure. There is nothing a sea... More

I don't think it should be called as a resort.... Almost around 1000 People were there in the resort and there was no space for moving around.... Pool was looking like a pond with 100 buffalo...Drunk men all around, vomiting anywhere, miss behaving with families and the worst part is that the management doesn't want to look into the problems....

Fantastic place , but the room and toilets arent great for the money you pay. The receptionist was not friendly enough and had a grim face all through out the conversation. Food was brilliant. The sign board ( parking at owner's risk) was a bit scary for the visitors.

Its a lovely resort with good ambiance and fine luxury. The best part of the resort would be they have the beach right behind their resort and its all private. In addition to this they also have a swimming pool, travelers shopping complex. The loveliest part which i enjoyed is you can have tea on the beach side, breakfast on... More

Me and my family dropped into this Resort for lunch, we returned after lunch to the parking lot only to find out that our Car's passenger seat window is smashed and all possessions left in the vehicle were stolen. When we contacted the manager for an explanation we encountered an utterly irresponsible attitude. "Parking was at owner's risk apparently", that... More

I stayed there last weekends(10/12/12). Food was good and hygienic. Swimming pool also good but the locality of pool is poor. Service was good. Room only average and TV remote and fridge were not working. The rate is very high for this.I paid 4500 only for a day. It is not worthy.

I previously stayed at this hotel a couple of times some years ago. At that time, although a very basic sort of hotel, it was not bad for the money. Now fast forward to 2012. I had booked an Executive Double for 8 days for a stay in November. On arrival the hotel looked more or less the same although... More

It is located about 3 km before Mahabalipuram town bang on the ECR. The swimming pool facing suites are an ideal choice if you are looking to relax. Otherwise, they have these smaller rooms but located a bit away from the sea.I have stayed at both these rooms and found the prices reasonable.The beach is accessible from the hotel and... More

We have visited this place with a gang of friends few times earlier to spend one full day at the premises, but this time, we decided to stay overnight. In a way we were familiar with the place. Agenda for this trip: Catch up with a couple of college friends and spend time chatting and drinking. Checked in around 18:45,... More
