I had a lovely stay at this village retreat with a unique pool experience and tasty vegetarian food, making it ideal for families. However, the location was quite remote, and accessing the property was a bit challenging due to the road conditions. Additionally, while the swimming pool was a highlight, some facilities could use improvement and maintenance.

The hotel is located about 13 KMs from Mahabalipuram and is somewhat isolated, which made the drive tricky due to a poorly maintained road. It's not the most convenient location if you're looking for nearby attractions.

The pool area was a standout feature, but some activities were under maintenance, which was a letdown. Overall, they need to pay attention to maintaining the charm of the property.

I had an enjoyable stay at this resort, which boasts of unique rooms that offer direct access to a spacious swimming pool. The food is absolutely delicious, definitely a highlight of my visit. However, the villa I stayed in did not meet my expectations in terms of amenities and comfort. While the overall maintenance of the property needs attention, the memorable dining experience and family-friendly atmosphere make it worth considering.

Facilities like the swimming pool are a major plus, but some of the recreational areas need urgent renovation to ensure safety and enjoyment for families.

My stay at the hotel was quite a journey! While the swimming pools attached to each room were a highlight, I faced some challenges with the location as it was not what I expected. The food was tasty but a bit pricey for what it was. The service could definitely use some improvement as the staff seemed indifferent at times.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. On one hand, the location was good, just across from the beach, and the vegetarian food was delicious with plenty of variety. However, the service was lacking, with staff seeming indifferent to my complaints. The villa we stayed in was disappointing, lacking basic amenities and having a few maintenance issues. Overall, it feels like the resort could be so much better with some attention to detail.
