I had a mixed experience at this resort. The private beach and pool area were lovely, and the rooms were well-designed and comfortable. However, the service felt robotic and lacked the personal touch needed for a truly memorable stay. Dining was hit or miss, with the buffet not meeting expectations but room service having its moments. If management could inject some energy into the operation, this place could truly shine.

This resort is a delightful escape along the serene beaches of Mahabalipuram. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, making for a comfortable stay. The staff were exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. However, the amenities and pool area could use some improvements, and I found the beach area less appealing due to cleanliness issues. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to unwind but has room for enhancement in certain aspects.
