Just back from a four-day trip to Tranquebar. We stayed at Bungalow on the Beach (BoB) for 3 nights and at the Gate house on the 4th night (as BoB was booked). The Bungalow is spectacular and understated at the same time. The generous balcony is enough of a vacation in itself. I spent hours with a good book on... More

Stayed for 2 nights. The rooms and the food was ok but the beach was dirty. However they did mess up my booking (knowingly) and gave the room I booked to someone else. In my allotted room, the AC was not working and also there was a plumbing problem in the bathroom. After wasting over an hour and arguing with... More

We visited Traquebar as a good stopover near Velankanni ..We had no idea of the location and the facility of this place,but were greatly suprised by the fact that this is one of the earliest european settlements(Dutch) in india.They have really left their mark in the form of its unique architecture (but now being restored after the tsunami damages). I... More

Tranquebar is a real gem for those of us who would love to get away from it all. This is one amazing place. Tranquebar is a 400+ year old Danish settlement with an old fort et al on the Coramandel Coast. And this hotel was a British Governor's Bungalow that has been painstakingly restored. I love these heritage structures. They... More

Did you really have to travel that far to experience what the hotel provides? That will the question you come away with. The highlights are that the Bungalow is the only property worth living in around a 10Km radius from where it is and that it is right on the beach. It is a complete cut off from your regular... More

Stayed here while it was raining, and it was a memorable experience. The hotel is on the beach, so you can hear the sound of the waves, as the name of the city implies, in your room. As we stayed on the ground floor room, it did not overlook the sea, but the sound of it made the stay memorable... More

Despite the reviews that we had been reading on the net, nothing prepared us for the tranquil setting of the Bungalow on the Beach. It was our first visit to a Neemrana Hotels property and we were quite impressed with the work done on the renovation of the property. The rooms were very well done up and did transport to... More

On reaching the hotel on April 27 evening, we... More

A beautiful spot by an untouched beach. The hotel is exquisitely maintained, with large airy room and period decor. Friendly, courteous and very helpful staff. Food uncharacteristically uninspired for India, but the staff were responsive to suggestions! We understood the area was to be 'developed' and our hearts sank. All this hotel needs is a few new recipes! More
