Would have given excellent all round if they werent upgrading the a/c dining room which meant meals were served in the outdoor cafe which was full of flies. They did their best and gave us room service. Pool was excellent
It is an amazing location , richly into the nature. Early morning sunrise over the sea is stunning.
Courteous staffs and good food.
Rooms are adequately clean and gives a feeling of being at home.
The location is fabulous and the staff at the restaurant were gentle and warm. That alone is nice about this resort. To start with, the bathroom - the door had withered out at the bottom, chipped out and had a gap from the floor. The hygiene faucet had been leaking and was hung on a nail. Did I pay Rs 5K plus for this ? Room size was big and the view overlooking the pool was good. AC was ineffective for the room of that size. AC water drain was blatantly directed into the bathroom leaving it to drip / drain resulting in the floor being wet and slippery. We in fact were asked to change room which we occupied first. Food was average and the waiters were pleasant, so not much to complain. Surprisingly, there were mosquitoes in the room too. I'm allergic to repellents.
Gorgeous and clean beach, very attentive and accommodating staff, great breakfasts and dinners and comfortable room. The rooms are basic, the lights are florescent and the towels are a bit threadbare, and you can't go on the beach after dark. But the hotel was well kept, the staff was friendly and the pool is refreshing and almost 25 yards long. We had a very pleasant stay. We also booked a yoga master, Magesh, through the hotel and he was excellent. Patrick Scott
The hotel is not well kept and not maintained. The hotel compound is infested with ants nest. Our room is a disastrous place. The curtain falling out. The tv buttons not working. Toiletries is hardly 5ml bottle for 3days. Front desk was not prepared to receive guest. Transfer taxi was expensive but comfortable driver very courteous. The dinning hall staff excellent....food average...but
Food quality was so poor. Tomato rice was served in the name of biriyani. None of the food items were good. We checked in at 1 pm & asked to wait for almost 30 minutes. After 30 minutes they allotted 1 room in place of 3. I'll think 100 times before I get into this resort again

Great potential
This hotel is right on the beach, with a great location, great swimming pool, and large site with plenty of trees. However, it fails to reach its potential due to poor management. The restaurant overlooks the beach, a lovely place to eat, but the food is overpriced. The rooms are basic, but adequate when not overpriced. Some unpleasant smells around the site suggest poor plumbing. Lack of attention to detail. This has the potential to be a wonderful hotel, more suitable for both international travellers and the Chennai crowd.

Never visit & dont waste your money
A/c's dont work in one or the other way... The condition are very bad & they are very very old.
Room service & food utter waste.
For a one single double bed room, they'll provide two single beds joined with a gap in-between which is really uncomfortable while sitting & sleeping.
I have not taken any photos at the resort bcos my mood was totally off after feeling uncomfortable here.
Our stay at Mamalla Beach was wonderful. Very relaxing and near to the village within walking distance. The staff were very kind and made us very welcome. I especially loved having the pool to cool down and the beach within meters away. The restaurant we overlooking the beach as was every room occupied. I would recommend anyone who wants to relax from the hectic India for a short while to recuperate.
The location is just a couple of klm's out of Mamallapuram but an easy walk via road or along the beach. If you want quiet which you will want after travelling in India, this is the place, sounds of waves and geese cackling yes geese that grace the resort. The staff very helpful, the restaurant mostly buffet Indian food but very fine and acceptable. I enjoyed me stay there.
The hotel is really clean. The terrotory is really nice and shady. The beach is nice and almost clean. Buffet for dinner and breakfast is wide, the food is tipically indian and very delicios. We walked to the city along the beach, it took less than half of an hour.

Ideal location for leisure trip
Overall it was good eccept one minor mishap. We were getting only hot water in all the taps and we could not take bath in that room because of that. However they promptly provided another room to take bath before we left. Otherwise things were fine.
The standard of the room was barely adequate. The curtains were rotten with mold and the whole room smelled awful. The location is about 3kms from the village with nothing ie shops etc anywhere near. Auto drivers all overcharge for the run into town as they know you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. There are much better and cheaper places in Mamallapuram itself. Would not recommend this hotel.
