I really liked this place, the staff was very friendly anf forthcoming and food was excellent. The beach access is easy and the beach is absolutely stunning albeit wild. It’s not a 5-star hotel in the european sense but a great space if you want a bit of privacy and peace when visiting Mamallapuram.

This was an excellent property and we had a great time! The breakfast was top-notch, offering high-quality selections. The only issue was a leaking walk-in shower which caused water to run across the bathroom floor, near the toilet.

A lovely property stretching down to the beach with lovely gardens snd excellent facilities. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was top quality. The swimming pool was great - though a few more loungers and parasols would be welcome at busy times. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Very unhappy with the room. We booked Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed (Club Room) however we were given bad room stating hotel has upgraded us to better room. When we requested why we are not given our original booked room, I was informed those rooms are booked and not available on Sat and Sun. Apart from room rest all were good (cafeterias, pool, beach areas, and service staff)
