Its a nice place to stay. We enjoyed rowing and boating. Food was good. I had a floating dinner in my package which was good. Rides are awesome like banana boating, ATV ride & Horse riding.
Staffs over there are friendly with guest which impress us a lot.

It is a good spot and good location too .. floting restaurant is a good concept but needs some what better improved style .. backwater source and boating is good .. but speed boats water scooters will make more fun .. nice ambience. . Very spacious area for free roaming .. service is ok .. food is ok .. packages for a day entertainment with groups also available. .

Been to this resort recently, a very good place with good ambiance.... the best was "Friendly services"- staff members were really good and helping. They have good water sports and ATV bike rides facilities as well... can certainly go for it.... One thing that needs improvement might be food... for its cost it can certainly be tasting better.

1. Horribly maintained swimming pool...no cleanliness...no hygiene .....U have dead insects swimming inside.
2. The much talked about....wifi facility not available.
3. Cold- food n tea served with lot of pride !
4. No Shower gels/shampoos made available, which is a small expectation from a acclaimed 3 star resort !
5. Bedding was not cleaned properly... with ink spots, to be precise.
6. Worst of all !! Vatierty of Credit cards could not be swiped....so u are expected to carry pocket full of cash to pay for these poor services....

Some + ives cud be- humble staff and you can spend about an hour in the indoor games room.

This resort we can not say it is resort. People are crazy about the activity they do not know how to handlethe customer. They offer so many things in the site but if you approach most of the things are not available. Restaurant again crazy, Stupid food and expensive. They offer ATV bike electric vehicle again it is expensive no maintenance. Rooms are again not expected level and swimming pools are smelly water. Over all experience is literally crazy and i will not recomend to all. Trip advisor to take highlight to every one not to choose this location. No menu card in the room, No proper service in the room etc. I can write a storya bout this expereince

The staff does not have a clue of what is meant by "Service". We had to call three times for towels and finally we had to walk to the reception and get it ourselves. When we insist of talking to a Manager, he just keeps repeating that we will take care of it with no absolute knowledge of what "it" means. Their website boasts of amenities like badminton court, volley ball, indoor gaming facility with TT table, play station etc. Not even a single one is usable, the play station was in fact a cheap gaming console (pics uploaded).

The swimming pool was dirty and we could see plastic bags and dirt floating (pics uploaded).

The boating activity was good and the boating staff was very helpful though.

This resort is Waste Of Money
As it shows the Sea is near by.. IT'S NOT.. its 5 to 6 Km away.. and No Transportation Is Provided Form Hotel's Side..
And This Resort People is HUNGRY For MONEY
Behind the Resort There Is LAKE.. Totally SMELLING..
FULL OF JELLY FISHES.. and the Resort Person are Not Going to Warn you For That "Poisonous Fish"
About Hospitality If asked for water it is delivered after 3 to 4 calls... that takes almost 1 hour
And Next To Our Room Construction was going on through out Day.. Completely NOISY Atmosphere,
Resort has a common game room.. in which the pool table cloth is TORN , The Pool Balls Are Cracked and the Stick Is also BROKEN
This RESORT IS TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY

I have visited this place twice and both times with my family. My first visit was in 2013. The resort was newly built and I felt that the service and food was so much better. However I had a terrible experience when I went back this year for my new year vacation.

Maintenance of the resort is horrible! The restrooms are disgusting with broken taps and toilets!

They sprayed medicine for bees in front of our rooms, the walls, the lamps (?) and the floor, so the guests who stayed ended up breathing it! And after the bees were dead, we didn’t have a soul come and sweep those away! It stayed there until we checked out!

The hotel didn’t even wait for us to vacate and made ppl wait outside the room while we were packing! And they didn’t clean the room before handing over the keys!

Food:

The food was horrible and the worst part is there are no places close by for us to go eat and come back. You will have to drive all the way to Mahabalipuram or Pondicherry and both take an hour! I think they have a super lazy cook!

Lunch:
1. Yellow dal
2. Chicken biriyani
3. Paneer butter masala
4. Aloo masala (the same curry as paneer but they just added aloo)
5. Veg fried rice (too much of ajinomoto)
6. White rice
7. Veg clear soup which was just hot water(no salt also)
8. Rasam (he didn’t know how to make the simplest dish)
9. Curd (this looked like they added something to it)
10. Basa fish fry (very very oily)
11. Gajar halwa (have you seen a halwa that’s watery? Like literally! How much efforts does it take to simmer the stove and leave the halwa there to cook? 😂)

Only the chicken biryani was edible! There was no roti and ppl had to ask for it!

Tea:
So they have a common area where they serve tea. They had bondas with coconut chutney and tea and coffee. I asked him for tea since the coffee was instant coffee ( I only drink filter coffee). I asked if he added sugar! I was disgusted by what he did! They already had sugar in the tea and he added the cubed sugar again and put a spoon in it to stir it! I noticed that he put the same spoons in a glass with water after he stirs your tea or coffee. The water was literally brown! Yuck 🤢

Dinner:
1. Yellow dal
2. Chicken curry
3. Basa Fish fry (same as afternoon but with no spices)
4. Roti and naan (not cooked)
5. Tomato soup (hot water with ground tomatoes)
6. Veg Kuruma (looked extremely disgusting)
7. Rasam (same as afternoon)
8. White rice (I’m sure it was the rice from afternoon)
9. Curd Vada (I didn’t taste this)
10. Veg fried rice (afternoons rice altered)
11. Brownies - I think he froze the batter🤦🏻‍♀️! It wasn’t cooked!

Breakfast:
Ok so this was when I got extremely irritated!

I asked them for omelettes since I didn’t want to risk eating the food I saw there. The person taking care of the place told me you don get omelette but only full boil and half boil! I was like what??? I then asked him to make sunny side up and cook that on both sides until the egg is well done. The yolk was still watery!! I mean how lazy can someone in the kitchen be!

We forced them to make an omelette and that didn’t have salt or pepper (forget onions and Chilli)

Then I asked him to toast my bread since I didn’t see a toaster! He toasted that on the dosa tawa and got! Which was as good as not toasting! The bread was still white and they didn’t add ghee or butter to toast! And it wasn’t your sandwich bread but just the sweet bread (no other option).

Activities:

This place has no activities! There is a pool but I didn’t see them clean it after almost 50 ppl used it throughout the day. They have an activity room but there’s only indoor games like carrom and chess! They have cycles for kids. They have backwaters and have boating but it’s a very small space. They used to have water Zorbing but took that off!
And no wi5! The person at the reception told me their internet pack was getting over 😂
And hello! The tv has only 20 channels and only Tamil!

One hell hole I tell you!
