We arrived here as our last stop having been in India for eight days and six different hotels. What a wonderful place, can not say how delighted we were with the location which felt like we were on a private island overlooking a deserted beach, crashing waves and a back drop of lush palm trees. The rooms where spacious with... More

Unbeatable location on a beautiful beach with virtually no one on it and warm clean water.The individual chalets are spaced far enough apart to give plenty of privacy.The food and service were excellent. Lovely infinity pool.

My wife and I stayed here for ten days in total and we loved it! I have travelled extensively around the world for business and personal travel and I really thought that no place could really impress me anymore, but when we arrived at Surya Samudra I was immediately enchanted by the beauty of this place, its serenity, and tranquility....

If you don't mind being a 20 minute tuk tuk ride from town and want somewhere beautiful this is the place to stay.

Although the resort looked beautiful and had amazing views of the sea/beach with an infinity pool almost looking into the sea, we felt... More

We visited the resort as a group of 5 families with children. The location of the resort is outstanding and the rooms are spacious, clean and extremely plush. The stay was extremely pleasant. There were a few hiccups though. The service was extremely slow. It took us a couple of hours to finfish our meals. The restaurant doesn't have too... More
