Yes, it might be - guess all the KTDC hotels are in a class of their own. We stayed in a delux room in the separate two story building. Samudra is in situated in a secluded area with a virtually private small strip of clean beach which is not very bussy. All rooms have a sea view and are comfortable... More

We stayed in this quiet, clean resort in March 2011 for 5 days. Very relaxing, close to beach, clean and rooms were comfortable. We had the Pool all to ourselves ( almost!). Service was good although restaurant was rather ordinary and food was All local. English was poorly understood in restaurants. More

The pluses: Spectacular view, clean beach. The Minuses: tasteless food, clueless staff, broken furniture, no service at all. Everyone is pushed to eat a clumsy buffet at all times. The operations of this property reminds you of the fact that Govt. of India rules in God's own country!! More

Great view, nothing else. A pool. No cable tv for the two days we stayed. They cannot read a passport visa. Asking everything when it is there in the visa. Food not that great, no dinner after 10 and only buffet at dinner, did not advice about the buffet dinner or we would have gone outside. Food is always cold.... More

Apart from a decent pool and nice enough view, this hotel is no more than 3 star. Our bathroom smelt of sewage and the pathetic cupboard space had damp and mould growing down the wall.

I've just been in this hotel for four nights during this time and I'm sure it's the worst hotel I've never been in my life thinking about our money spent!!!! Please don't stay there! use only the beach....... We spent about euro 500 for four nights for a 4 stars hotel which was worth 2/5.....but in theory this is not... More

We stayed here for just one night, our first in India. It was a great hotel right on the beach, great view from our room, good service, nice garden with lots of hammocks, nice swimming pool, and to top it off when we came back in the evening there was live traditional Indian music being played by the outdoor restuarant,...
