Having been in touch with them for over 6 months, they were gracious enough to give me the last years package rates for this May. Thanks to the Air India pilots strike, we could only leave the next day and hence the trip was cut short by a day. The car was there as promised at the airport and in just 10 minutes we were at the resort. Nice welcome mocktails & smiling faces greeted us. The rooms were spacious and well maintained. The resort located amidst a forest of trees and plants, is small and hence the service is quite personalised. They have a clean and well maintained pool and a spacious bar cum restaurant. Every part of the resort has been meticulously designed and maintained. Excellent Indian and continental food, with much care taken to use the right ingredients, though the rates are slightly on the higher side. Overall it is good value for money. Surprisingly there is no room service, which was a bit of a let down. Though the resort is not on the beach, it is just a small walk away and the beach surprisingly was neat and clean. The location is superb, as we had the beach more or less to ourselves, with very little crowd. They have an associate Joet\'s who runs a small restaurant-cum-bar right on the beach and a wide selection of food & drinks are available here at slightly lesser prices. They have a games room with a pool table, wide screen TV and internet. Overall, we got more than what we expected and I have no hesitation in recommending this place to discerning travellers who would like to have a more personalised and enjoyable vacation away from the crowds.

The car as promised was waiting for us and the drive along the coast was beautiful. Check-in was very quick and we were given a ample sized cottage that had a beautiful view of the sea. The resort ambience is excellent with lots of coconut trees and a variety of flowering plants throughout the grounds. The restaurant serves a variety of food and the staff are very attentive and cheerful. Their breakfast spread was awesome. The pool is well maintained. They have a variety of Ayurveda wellness packages and there is an in-house doctor to recommend the right one in case you chose to take one of the packages. The beach is excellent, though the depth at the shoreline is also quite high and with the rocks around, one needs to be good swimmer to venture into the sea. The chef invited all of us for a short cookery course of two dishes at the resorts kitchen. I felt this was a nice touch. No special programmes during the evening, except to listen to the waves breaking on the beach, which is very restful, if you are looking for a relaxed holiday. More » « Hide

The drive on the East Coast road is superb. The hotel which is located 10 Km from Pondy on the Cuddalore road has a very good ambiance., with well maintained lawns & garden. The buildings are constructed in French colonial style and the rooms are quite large. It has the best & largest swimming pool (with a spacious kids area) in Pondy and it is well maintained. One could spend hours lazing in the pool jacuzzi. The restaurant serves very good food (Indian & French) but with a limited menu. They are planning to revise the menu completely, shortly. The bar is excellent though expensive (considering the liquor prices in Pondy are one of the lowest in the country). Both the bar & the restaurant have an airy & relaxed ambiance. There is very little indoor activity apart from carom & table tennis. The beach which is at some distance from the main building is forgettable. All the staff are very friendly and efficient. If you are looking to have a relaxed holiday with not much activity, this would be suitable. Of course, Pondy city is just 10 km away, so one could go on short excursions. Overall, it was a satisfying experience. More » « Hide
