Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Like: Location walkable into town and the rock carvings. On a large plot running down to the sea and huge pool. Cottage was spacious with view over golf course to the sea. Staff friendly and helpful. Large comfortable bed. Dislike: Sunbeds need renewing. 2 of stairs into pool broken. Litter not cleared away.No chairs/ sun beds on the beach and unfinished buildings next to the beach. Resort needs some TLC which may have started as lobby area being renovated.

We stayed for four days. On Day 1, we were in room number 317, and the next day, we moved to room 316. The AC was noisy, the TV and intercom were not working, and the floor tiles in room 316 were broken. Additionally, the doors were in bad condition, and we found torn towels.

I am not sure if I would rate this hotel 4 stars. The room we got didn’t have a phone, the bathroom not renovated , the towels were dirty. The hotel itself might benefit from an overall new paint & renovation. The value for room wasn’t worth it

The guests wore masks but the staff in the restaurant didn’t. The check-in was confusing but quick. When we ordered food in the restaurant they took more than an hour to bring the food and brought the wrong dish. So we went outside the resort to have our meals after the first day. I will most certainly avoid this resort in the future.

Worst stay.
The stay has been the worst. We were shifted to another room stating electrical fault and after we shifted the same room was allotted to someone else. The néw rooms ACs were not working. Till late 11:00 PM hotel couldn’t find a remote for the ACs. The room being closed didn’t have windows so that fresh air could come. The hotel staff didn’t have any technician to mend the AC. We were forced to sleep in hot and humid situation. It was the worst experience and worst holiday. The support staff are useless and unsupportive.

Worth spending time with family to relax, enjoy
Stay was comfortable, service by the staff was friendly and quick. The resort is well-maintained, and it has good outdoor and indoor games and children play area. Had a good time with family. Has a private access to beach and well maintained large swimming pool (but no separate kids pool area). Is close to many monuments which are a must visit for anyone coming to Mahabalipuram.

Great property but over priced
Great property however not value for money. Basic sports facility and mini bar items were way too high. A pack of Rd 10 chips was charged as Rd. 185 in the mini bar. We also found the room tariff higher than usual, if I compare it with similar other 5 star properties like Radisson Boy, etc. The service of the staff was great and the staff members were extremely welcoming.

The hotel needs a refresh of paint and new bathrooms (it looks shabby in some places), but the pool is spectacular and the staff are really nice. Restaurant is great too...
