This Beach Resort is located at around 25kms from Chennai at Uttandi towards the ECR ( Chennai Mahabalipuram road). Came across this property by a friend who had recently been here and booked the stay for a quick weekend getaway .
Location ** The property is bang on the beach ( not a private one, but has access to the beach and is quiet though there are residents around. You also get to interact with local fishermen and see their activities.
Ambience ** The rooms are well done with basic facilities and are neat and clean. Housekeeping team also ensures to clean it up daily.
Service ** We stayed for 3days and the hospitality and service was good.
Food - The menu options for Lunch / dinner is good and the food is also tasty.
USP - *Prices are reasonable *They also have special packages for candle light dinners , family dinners get together. They help you with decorating, food , cakes etc. *They also have a banquet space that can be used for small gathering and get together.
The property is managed and by Mr Arun, who is at the property and ensures the guest are at comfort and meeting their needs. Even Ms Asha who is in charge of Marketing was friendly and a great help at the time of booking.
My only suggestion would be Choice over bfast (atleast 1-2 South Indian or other option) Cos all 3 days ended up having only Bread and cornflakes. There was kettle in room , but we din have coffee, tea sachets
Overall we had a great time and would definitely...
