A great place to go. It's a very unique place so you have to know what you're getting into. It's a bikes, hut, but luxury-hut type rooms. Loved that there were bikes that we could use to get around the place and exactly that...so spread out that the bikes were perfect. Very serene and peaceful type of beach resort. If... More

We stayed at the Dune Ecovillage from 8th May for 2 nights. We had booked two rooms. The rooms allotted to us were The Dome House and The Wood House. These are very tastefully done up and appear like boutique rooms. We loved the rooms, the entrance, the sit-out, the gardens and the room amenities (Fab India products). The staff... More

We were only able to stay here for two nights but wish we could have stayed a week. If it's classic 5 star luxury you're looking for then this isn't the place but if you want a gorgeous, relaxing, beach getaway to hide away from it all then it definitely is. We stayed in the Dome House which was beautifully... More

Stayed at Dune [Garden villa] in April 2012. For starters the rooms have a very unconventional with a weird design and are very overpriced for the value they offer. There is absolutely no ventilation and the rooms get reallys stuffy. Food is very mediocare. Service is good which can be the only saving grace. But overall unstisfactory experience at the... More

I moved from two nights of stay at Auroville (Gaia’s Garden) to another two nights sponsored stay at Dune Eco Village Resort!!! I travel often and stayed in many heritage and eco resorts in South India. Dune stands apart from the rest because of its uncanny aesthetics. Pls note the “Lost Paradise” as soon as you step into the property.... More

A great place to go to if you need a re-charge for body and soul. My husband and I visited in September 2011 and had a wonderful 4 days. He particularly enjoyed the steak and the prawns. The rooms are very interesting and the gardens with lush flowering plants were wonderful to stroll in at night. The beach is clean... More

Wonderful hotel for honeymooners especially lose your mobile phone during the stay & you will be completely relaxed. There was only 1 restaurant operational which served breakfast buffet. The breakfast was amazing as they would prepare anything we wanted. At dinner you should try the local dish of prawns as it is worth the value since they serve giant tiger... More
