Palm Grove Beach Resort, Udupi

My first reaction when I reached was "Fantabulous". I was a bit skeptical about this place when I read some of the reviews but I used my 6th sense (developed from vast experience in exploring places) and it was once again proved correct. It is one of the very few places you would like to keep visiting. The rooms are clean, non-stinky, bed and bed sheets are neat, towels are fresh, bathroom is small but has all the basic amenities one needs as well it is clean. This is something in contrast to what I read in others reviews, may be they were looking for Taj or Marriott at this price point. The location is amazing with a beach that is very clean, where you will rarely find other tourists or drunken rowdies, a perfect beach destination to spend time with family and enjoy with kids. Kids will love this place. There are cute huts in the resort, each of them occupy two rooms and you are surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers, extremely well managed. You will get peace of your life most of the day and you will wake up in the morning with chirping of birds. Don't miss to take a bare foot walk on the beach during early morning and witness fishermen activities when they are back from the sea sorting out different varieties of fish. If you are lucky some of them will be happy to take you around in the sea on their fishing boat, an experience you will cherish for a long time. The food is simple but mouth-watering....I still can't forget Neer Dosa during the breakfast. Both Sridhar and Ramesh are hospitable and will do everything they can to make your stay pleasant and memorable. We were lucky and thankful to them as they accommodated us even though the resort was under going through pre-christmas maintenance. This way we were the only guest in entire resort and got some special attention to our needs :) This place is only for nature lovers and those who want to stay put at one place for few days to spend time together and eat healthy and simple food. This place is a bit remote (not too far) so you must appreciate their efforts to keep it natural, clean and pleasant rather than cribbing about everything as if you are always used to staying in a star resort and eating 8 course breakfast.

Best Experience: Beach is just in front of the main gate and makes it easy access.

Worst Experience: None

Not good. The service is bad. Rooms didn\\\'t have any facilities. There are no amenities for playing. Food has to be ordered before if you want any specific food item. Drinks are also not available.

Best Experience: The resort is very near to sea.

Worst Experience: The resort experience is bad. Its not worth the cost or experience
