Go for beach n pool... otherwise just about OK

Its OK . The best prt is the beach and the pool. However they close the pool at 6 pm. When asked why? They told.me its Govt. Rules....which i doubt as orhwr pools in TN are open till 7:30/8 pm. It would be lovely to swim after sughtseeing and coming to the hotel...but well! Beach us lovely... food is OK OK. Rooms we stayed in were small ... opening a bag was also uncomfortable. They could keep it cleaner...there were pckets and small plastic waste in front of our toom in the garden. Needs attention..definetly. Loved the beach and pool!

Comfortable and spacious

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ideal Beach Resort! Comfortable and spacious rooms, great service and delicious food during both breakfast and dinner. Mosquitoes are naturally present given the location, so be sure to pack something to deter them. Wifi is not great, so if you need a connection for whatever reason, perhaps plan ahead.

Nice beach resort, short rickshaw ride from temple

We were lucky to get a nice room with view of sea. Our only disappointment was that the restaurant wasn't better located, as it was set back so far from sea & all under cover.

Extremely attentive staff and fantastic restaurant. We went for the Sri Lanka theme, and enjoyed the live music at dinner as well as the excellent Sri Lankan food at breakfast. Very clean beach. They need to check the plumbing to avoid bathroom odors.

Hôtel calme et reposant.

L hôtel est calme et reposant en bord de mer le personnel très disponible et attentif surtout au restaurant. Les repas sont très bons y compris le buffet du petit déjeuner qui est tres bien. L hôtel est un peu vieillissant mais tellement bien entretenu que cela n est pas gênant. J y retournerai pour un autre séjour bien volontiers.

Sehr gepflegtes Hotel in einem großen Palmengarten

Sehr freundliche, besonders hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, sehr gute Küche leider mit Live Musik, mit der wir gar nichts anfangen konnten. Bestens geeignet, wenn man in Mahabalipuram das UNESCO Weltkulturerbe besichtigen möchte. Der Luxe Zimmer in sehr gutem Zustand. Viel älteres Publikum.

Een beetje vergane glorie.

De kamers zijn nog niks veranderd t.o.v. 10 jaar geleden. Een opknapbeurt zeker voor de badkamer zou geen overbodige luxe zijn. Het bed is prima. Wifi is er ...af en toe. De AC deed het niet. Niemand gezien maar we hebben ons gered met de fan. Het restaurant is prima, heel vriendelijk personeel, goede bediening en een uitgebreide kaart. Jammer dat de diensters exact dezelfde kledij hebben dan hun mannelijke collega's. Hemd en broek voor mannen ! De prijs kwaliteit is voor mij niet meer ok.

The perfect place to relax.

Our 3 night stay was lovely. The beach is clean and well serviced by staff. I really enjoyed our first day on the beach, it was picturesque and relaxing. On the second day it was not. There was a large conference at the resort and the beach was packed with loud people who had no concept of personal space. It was really unpleasant, but not much could be done about it other than leaving the beach. Just hope that others get to experience a day like our first, though it is out of guests control. There was some dust on the bedroom furniture, but everything else was great and the bed was amazingly comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The food was very good and the live music entertainment was enjoyable. The staff were very attentive to our needs. Just ask, and they make it happen.

Oasis of Tranquility

Located just outside of the town of Mahabalipuram, 3km away and only a short rickshaw ride into town. Hotel and grounds are a haven for relaxation and if you want your moments of true India, the town is just a hop away. Fabulous staff too, they can't do enough for you. Shame we were only there for one night.

넓고 조용하고 휴양이 괜찮은 리조트 ( 씨뷰 )

호텔 사이트에 사진은 정말 별거 없어 보였기 때문에 방이 정말 좁은줄 알았다. 우리는 4명이 여행을 해서 침대를 추가해야 할 줄 알았는데 더블 침대가 2개있었고 화장실은 웬만한 가정집 안방 정도였으며 거실이 있었다. 그리고 화장실을 두개였다. 기대하고 가지 않아 정말 만족스러웠다. 단점은 와이파이가 프리가 아니다. 돈을 내야한다. 우리는 원래 첸나이 거주민이었기 때문에 상관없었지만 해외여행객들은 조금 불편할것 같다. 그리고 식당이 딱 한곳. 저녁 부페가 저렴하긴 하나 먹을것이 없다 ㅋㅋㅋ 오히려 조식 더 괜찮다
