I had a wonderful experience at the resort, enjoying the clean and well-maintained facilities. The staff were incredibly courteous and helpful. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, particularly in terms of food quality and choices. The overall value for money was debatable, especially considering some maintenance issues.

The resort is positioned nicely near the beach, which is a plus, but accessibility to local attractions could be improved.

I had an amazing stay at this resort, complete with stunning views and excellent amenities. The sprawling gardens and the private beach were perfect for my family, and we thoroughly enjoyed the large swimming pool. However, I felt the dining options were a bit overpriced, which led us to explore nearby restaurants. Overall, it's an excellent choice for families looking for a comfortable getaway with plenty to do.

Rooms

The sea view deluxe room was nice, but the view was only partial. It could benefit from a little maintenance, especially with some exposed wiring.

Service

The location is fantastic, just a short distance from the Mahabalipuram town and major sightseeing points, and right next to the beautiful private beach.

Dining

While the complimentary breakfast had a great variety, the ala-carte menu for dinner was quite pricey, prompting us to eat out instead.

Facilities

The facilities like the swimming pool, kids play area, and garden were excellent for families, making it a fun place to spend time.

6.6/10

The resort has a prime location, just a short distance from Panch Rathas and a private beach area which is perfect for sightseeing in Mahabalipuram. However, the service could use improvement as it felt a bit overwhelmed during peak times, and I encountered some maintenance issues in the room. Overall, there are some charming aspects, but the dining experience was not up to par.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were spacious and appeared a little old but were well maintained. However, the air conditioning only worked in the living room and didn't circulate to the extra bed area, making it uncomfortable at times.

Service

6.0

While I didn't have any major complaints about the service during my stay, there were a few oversights, such as not explaining the additional costs for snacks in the room. The staff seemed respectful, but some seemed inexperienced, affecting the overall service quality.

Location

9.0

Being only a stone's throw away from the Panch Rathas and other historical sites makes this resort an excellent base for exploring Mahabalipuram.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was quite disappointing; the food quality didn't meet expectations, and there were not many options available.

Facilities

7.0

The resort features a lovely pool area, which I found enjoyable, but there were no standout amenities that made it feel luxurious.

7.8/10

I stayed at the resort for a couple of nights, and I have to say, the expansive property and fantastic pool really stood out. The private beach is a great bonus. However, I was disappointed with my sea view room as it didn't have a balcony, just sealed glass windows. The dining options were quite pricey as well, which made me question the overall value, especially during peak season.

Rooms

6.0

The sea view room was clean but didn't meet my expectations for a resort. It lacked a balcony, which was a letdown.

Service

Dining

The breakfast spread was impressive but the dinner buffet prices were exorbitant. I opted for the à la carte instead.
