Red Rock Residency — Hotel in Karnataka

I wouldn’t recommend this place for weddings or events. Our experience took a turn after we declined their catering service due to the high charges (Rs. 690 per person, which I arranged elsewhere for Rs. 290). Unfortunately, the situation worsened after that, with several issues arising that impacted the quality of the event.

I had booked 19 rooms, but due to an unpleasant smell in some rooms, my in-laws chose to stay elsewhere. Despite this, the owner still requested payment for the unused rooms.

Initially, the quoted price for a poolside event was Rs. 10k over the phone. However, a day before the event, we were informed the price was Rs. 15k. The owner stated that Rs. 15k was the standard rate, even though I was given a lower quote by the receptionist. I’m unsure why this discrepancy occurred.

I had requested breakfast for 60 guests at 7 am, but after an initial agreement, the receptionist later informed me that breakfast could only be served at 7:45 am, which caused last-minute arrangements for breakfast near the wedding venue.

During our discussions, the owner made an unfortunate comment about our small Haldi event, calling it "cheap." However, he then came to ask for cash payments to avoid taxes, which was contradictory to the expectations set.

I had asked for seating arrangements near the rooms to ensure female guests weren’t disturbed by drunk outsiders. Unfortunately, this request was ignored, leading to an uncomfortable situation for some of our guests.

Finally, after checking into a deluxe room with my wife, we discovered that the bedsheets were in poor condition, and we ended up having to use towels to sleep. The lint on the sheets caused rashes, which was disappointing.

Overall, I left feeling upset and disappointed with how things turned out. There were too many issues that affected the...

Located at 17 kms before Mangalore, this beach resort at Mukka is ideal for a relaxed stay for a short period. The rooms are spacious with a small kitchen, a fridge and tea kettle provided inside. There are 26 such rooms on 3 blocks of 2 floors each. The resort has a large hall and a swimming pool with arrangements for pool-side dinner.

The food is good, particularly fish curry and fry. The staff is very courteous and responsive. When we ordered two bowl full of rice, the restaurant staff suggested to try a single bowl instead of two. That turned out to be a good suggestion which avoided wastage of rice.

The reception and restaurant are active only after 10 am. Two out of the 3 days stay, we had breakfast served in the room instead of the restaurant as the kitchen was not active. If you are to check out early morning, then better settle the bill in the night itself as the staff is either not there or is sleepy.

Mallamar beach is 500 meters from the resort. It is a quiet and beautiful beach but swimming or getting into the water at Mallamar beach will be tricky as the water is quite deep. A little further is the NITK beach, whether the water is shallow but it is rocky. But it is a beautiful beach to sit and watch sunset. There is a light house near...

If you are planning to stay there please change your mind. They have water issues! Sounds surprising as the property is next to sea? Yeah you read that right. I am an NITK alumnus and stayed there in Feb 2022. They have this weird water in bathrooms which has very bad odor and yellowish brown color. The smell is so bad that you can't stand in the bathroom for few minutes and I dare you to brush your teeth,wash your face and even think of taking bath. When I raised this issue, I was shown a lab report which shows that water is potable! Surprisingly it was issued by Civil Engineering department of NIT Surathkal!! The reports indicated that it has very high Iron oxide content which is the reason for the bad smell and color but is drinkable!! Chemically it may be but how can someone drink/use it when the smell is so bad that you will vomit if the water comes within 1m range of your nose.

Clean Water is the bare minimum thing that one expects at the stay in hotel and Red Rock Residency failed in providing that and hence I am never staying again at this place and I suggest you too to never even consider staying...
