Clean and comfortable for a short stay
A nice clean hotel. rather unnecessarily large building with a small beach which is difficult to get to as it falls of a cliff and has rocks. Three small restaurants - one of which was closed and they did not warn us in advance or at check-in. Limited options for vegans - and the duty manager told us to call the other restaurants to see what was on offer rather than trying to help us. Not the service expected of a 5 star resort. Otherwise very nice and friendly staff. Would probably not revisit as limited things to do in the hotel - they charge for bicycle use even.

The staff were magnificent, all very helpful especially amen in the breakfast area. Food was great high quality with a good selection of European and Indian dishes. The facilities in the room were good with access to English language films and sport. It was a bit away from everywhere else and there could have been better facilities on the beach as the sea did look inviting. On the whole thumbs up all round. It is what I expect from a 5 star hotel.

Amazing service and comfortable room
Business travel. Room: Spacious and clean room, with fantastic service. Service: Staff were extremely attentive, friendly, and accommodation. Could not fault the service at all. Breakfast spread: good variety, food taste was probably ok-ok at best. Gave the breakfast a 6/10 rating and the chef came knocking at my door to offer a note of apology with a cake and fruit platter. I didn’t feel this was necessary, but appreciated the gesture very much. Again a testament to the staff’s commitment in providing top notch service. Hotel compound: the resort felt a bit ‘sterile’ to be honest, and the garden between the main building and the beach felt redundant. Overall a very comfortable stay, and once again can not commend the staff more for their attentiveness and warm hospitality.

It is a relatively new property with great amenities inside the room and in the hotel generally. The food is great in all restaurants. They also direct access to the beach and a beach shak operated by the hotel as well. The shak is right on the beach and in the evening they put tables very close to the water. The vibe, food, and setting in the shak is amazing. The food in the main restaurant for breakfast and lunch is fantastic as well. The hotel has a well equipped gym as well. The spa is amazing too. The pool is also nice 11M/25m which is really good if one wants to train. There is a nice crocodile bank close to the hotel. The hotel staff was gracious enough to get us a free drop and pick up to the crocodile bank. The hotel is 15kms ( about 20 min drive) from Shore temple and other unesco world heritage monuments in Mahabalipuram. Super convenient and the hotel has paid cab service. What I did not like was the service. Our rooms were not cleaned despite us putting a note for cleaning. We had to call the service many times to get our room cleaned. The hotel was also fully booked so guess that explains. The service during lunch and breakfast was also nothing special. It was still far better than what we see outside of India but having travelled extensively in India, I think the service can get better to match Indian standards. Overall a great experience at this property. I would stay here again and also recommend this to people looking to stay in this property.
