Bantval Hotels

"I happened to stay in Ocean Pearl for a day in last week of December and my experience was delightful. Some delightful points: 1) Eventhough the hotel is situated on a busy junction, but rooms were very well insulated, never felt any trafic noise filtering into the room. 2) Hotel Staff was very prompt & helpful in their checkin support & during our stay. 3) Rooms were very clean & well maintained. Beddings and Toiletries were taken care. 4) Hot water was available round the clock. 5) TV channels were somewhat missing, but not a deal breaker, the issue might have been resolved if I would have brought it to notice of relevant authorities. 6) We had Breakfast included in our stay, and it was very good and wholesome. Lot many items including South Indian, North Indian, Continental menu were on offer and taste was delightful. Some Things that can be improved 1) Parking is less considering the size of hotel, most of the cars are parked within the premise of the hotel, rest have to be parked in basement, which is not that easy considering the overall size. So, one needs to park in sun or park in basement. They do provide free valet service that can assist with parking though. 2) The service at the Hotel left a lot to be desired. Service time as way to high, we got the table well in time, but the service was very slow in both the instances that we dined. "

"Clean rooms, good service, hassle free"

"Staying here has been the worst experience, forget other aspects, staff is not only incompetent but crooks as well. We booked classic room which was confirmed and when we reached the property, they claimed they are all booked and issue was with website. We had to settle for a much cheaper room since it was already late under the promise that they would refund the difference which they agreed to but never did. The room was smelly and there was no hot water. Staff acts oblivious to any issue if you ask them for assistance. We stayed there just for the night but pretty sure if we would have stayed longer, we would have found more gems in their issue treasure box."

"Wonderfully built with lots of spaces to relax and chill.Pool,backwaters and beach are accessible and lots of activities are offered.They have a great spa and fitness centre but hardly anyone was using it.Evening tea by the poolside was very well laid out and plentiful.Food was good with plenty of choices.Very plush villa we stayed in which had a plunge pool and swing and indoor and outdoor showers.Our only issue was that they really discourage swimming in the sea which we were looking forward to and thought we could have."
