Detailed Reviews
Nice place to stay for family and couple. I stayed in first floor with balcony. The sea view is good from balcony and gives a relaxing feel. Overall service has to be improved. However some staffs are so friendly and are the reason for making comfortable. Mr. Joel was so friendly and really a good asset for the restaurant and is caring towards the guests If at all I choose the resort next time, the reason would be Mr. Joel and Mr. Bala. Ponnamal amma needs a special mention for her hard work at this age. Her hospitality is awesome.

The property is at very nice location with beach facing rooms. The rooms are also big but the resort is poorly managed. The rooms infra is also very poor. The room view from second floor is good but room service is pathetic. The place could have been great family resort but bad management and rowdy crowd has made it bad. Swimming pool doesn't have shower and change area. There is no hygiene and ppl are just coming in without shower. Food is ok

A fantastic location a couple of hundred of metres from the enchanting waves where occasionally you see dolphins but more often the student swimmers and coaches of Auroswim, Auroville's ocean swimming club, as the beach also functions as the main beach of Auroville. The Resort could do better at housekeeping, and I think the balcony room is a bit overpriced.

We booked 4 rooms for 2 nights in August 2022 expecting it would be a relaxing beach resort. We had the really worst experience. Their staff is so damn rude, especially the person on night duty at reception (Mr. Pratap) and the housekeeping incharge (Mr. Muttu). They don't even know the 'H' of hospitality and were instead showing very bad attitude by not fulfilling basic needs on repeated requests like missing bath and hand towels in the room, missing milk powder which we needed for the baby etc. There were a lot of insects in the room and they said Good night and Odomos were out of stock. Refrigerator in the room was not working and we wanted to keep milk in the fridge for the baby. But, they neither fixed the refrigerator for 2 days, nor replaced it from another one from another room. There were too many flies just outside the room because the neighbour room ordered room service and kept the leftover food outside. The hotel staff didn't even clean that out for 2 days. Their rooms are in pathetic state and look like a 1 star hotel. Although the pool and garden are well maintained. Housekeeping incharge was trying to force us to sign on the feedback form where he himself had mentioned that everything was provided to us and we were satisfied. Mr. Pratap harassed us to either change our rooms or checkout from the hotel in the middle of the night, until I told him I will pay 2000 rs extra during checkout. They only have 1 housekeeping staff at night for such a huge property and he isn't able to manage all requests.
The managers were quite welcoming. The reception staff didn't let us speak to the manager and kept avoiding. But when we were able to find the manager and speak to him, he apologised on everyone's behalf and took all written feedback.
Overall, I had the worst experience and I will not suggest anyone to ever waste their time and money on this hotel

The property location is good right on the beach but about 15 mins drive from the city center. The rooms are relatively clean and spacious. The service mainly at the restaurant is nothing short of pathetic. The boys are most probably locals while don't understand English or Hindi. They don't serve half of the menu at the restaurant and same goes for the breakfast which is limited but again comes down when we look for service.
And definitely it is highly overpriced for the kind and level of services.

Rooms were horrible for the price we paid. We had paid INR 15,685.00 for 2 rooms and was not even worth 1/4th of the price. Food was just average. Nice location and the lawns were good but the private beach was dirty.

Good evening, what happened to the payment which has to be paid to us for supplying the walkies. Why you are getting the materials when you are not ready to pay to the vendor. Stop cheating others, what you are going to do with this cheating money. Because of you people my company has deducted the payment from my salary.. You people doesn't have the courtesy even to attend my calls. Try not to cheat others in this way, this won't at all be good for you as well as your next generations. Try atleast to reciprocate, cheaters. I haven't seen such an worst cheating company in my lifetime... Iam not asking free money from you, iam asking for my payment for the materials which I have supplied almost an year ago. How you all are happily have ur food after cheating others in this way... How long you will be dodging in this same way. When you people are earning a lot from your business what makes you to think to cheat like this by taking the materials from vendors
If you have faith on God, trust me these kind of cheated money will not stay with you for an long time...God is there to watch everything

No matter how much u want to stay in a beach resort, don’t waste your money on this. Even if someone gives this for free, I would not stay here. Extremely unhygienic washrooms even after getting them cleaned twice. Bedsheet’s are bad and stained. Room is spacious but weird smell comes all around the Bedsheet and pillow covers. Plz don’t even think of coming to this property. I was staying in their room overlooking the beach and has an attached balcony.

Also how to reach if we are coming by bus.?
