Property phone number listed on the website doesn't work. Their landline doesn't work at all. They have separate mobile phone numbers which you can not find on the Internet.
We missed our flight and tried to contact the property and were unable to do so. when we reached there the next day and asked them for refund/credit for a day, they said they can't do it since they were not informed. I also message them thru Expedia tho.
Other than that it was a good experience staying there, the staff is very friendly.

The staff at the restaurent are friendly and food is good.If you are booking cabs through the hotel, know your destination and distance beforehand so that you will not be overcharged.

Already shared a review post check in. But in summary it’s awful. The price does not revert the quality of the hotel. It’s run down, smelly and I could not recommend to anyone. It was a dry day but unlike other hotels they completely closed the bar - couldn’t even get a soft drink had to go outside which was actually a good thing because we wanted to spend the least amount of time here! We went to the Sea Shell hotel for dinner - clean, open and useable toilets and turns our cheaper. Looks like a much better option - who cares if you don’t get the view - give me hygiene and comfort over a view any day.

The view of the ocean from the room was awesome. But otherwise the hotel looked rather dilapidated with old furniture lying in corridors

Thank you for your review. Yes we do agree about the view which lets you admire the expanse of the Bay of Bengal in all its glory and the rooms facing the sea delight the guests, as you yourself experienced.
However we are saddened that you found shortcomings in our property which stands in contrast to the feedback we have received for the stunning new look of our property, in terms of its unbeatable location as well as the quality of our accommodation, facilities and ambience.

Nice hotel on the water
Posted 22 Jan 2018The hotel has excellent views, it is right on the water with all rooms overlooking the ocean. The bar has a terrace looking at the water where we spent a lot of time. The food is excellent and the service amazing. Everyone was trying to make our stay enjoyable.
The only issue we had was, we were taking a nap in the afternoons and the guys would keep coming and knocking on the door (happened on two days). If you ignore, they keep ringing the bell until we open it, and then we find they want to give us a bottle of water or a complementary cookie. I think they need to be trained better to give the guests some privacy.

Bed Bugs Infested hotel
Posted 26 Nov 2017 on Orbitz
Pros: Only plus point in the view
Cons: Almost everything! The rooms, food, people!
Location: Not far from Corbyns Cove
Disgusting filthy place!!! I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in a premium room. The room was serviceable but it was not very clean and needed renovation. However, me and my wife were woken up in the middle of the night by the constant biting of bed bugs. I immediately stormed to the lobby and the front desk guy gave me another room but it too had bed bugs. Finally I was moved to another room where I could sleep. I wanted to meet the hotel's manager for this but he did not meet me. I mentioned it to the front desk but they had no remorse. This hotel charges a lot of money but its terrible!! Save your money and go elsewhere.
