We stayed at the Golden Residency as part of the Summer Walk organised by Mr.Sammilan Shetty of the Belvai Butterfly Park fame. It was good option for stay close to the natural spots around the foothills of the Western Ghats. The rooms were compact and clean. The food offered as part of the room service was quite tasty and filling (though the vegetarian fare was limited and South Indian cuisine was almost totally absent). There are groceries and medical stores nearby for any emergencies. The tariff was also quite reasonable given the facilities. The hotel has limited staff there was a single person who catered to all our room-service and house-keeping needs but he was quite efficient.||However, one incident ruined our stay quite a bit and is the reason for the 3-stars instead of a. 5-star rating.

Read moreGood place to stay in Moodibidri . We were a group of 5 ( Family ) . Took two rooms . Super deluxe and deluxe rooms. Cleanliness was satisfactory. There was no drinking water provided.

Having such stupid staff to run the place will destroy the place eventually rather than grow...
