The Dune Reviews

the location is just perfect - away from the pondi town, 0.6 kns from Auroville on ECR main road. Facilities like pool and the beach is great. Rooms looked wonderful, Interiors are contemporary and confortable. They have DVD facilities in every room, but the DVDs for rent doesn't work (we tried 8 dvd's but could watch only 2 out of which one was like a silent movie - we guessed the dialogues!!). the bathroom is not greatly ventilated. we had to open a window and hang a curtain. the shower water sprays all over the bathroom with no dry area at all. Room Service takes too long. The buffet menu was just average, Menu planning sucked they had an option of duck or calamari!! but on the last day we got l'carte and the food was amazing! The path to the beach has absolutely no light. the could have been atleast one light outside the door of the dune. the beach setting is absolutely amazing. you get to see the fishing community and thier movements into the sea - totally enjoyed it! The front office and booking was seamless and great job done! enjoyed riding a cycles after so many years!! memorable trip on the whole and would probably go back!!

I like this hotel , it was neat to look at n i did have good service . I have no regrets as everything went accordingly.No second thoughts required while booking.

Best Experience: I loved the view .

It was also wonderful to be in the thick of nature, the staff were extremely helpful and the food at the restaurant was exceptional.

Best Experience: The people were kind and helpful, the restaurant food was impeccable and offered enough variety to eat in daily

This hotel is an fabulous hotel. you find the best of the amenities here. The services and amenities are really very good. the rooms are cozy and well maintained. Overall excellent hotel.

The experience in 'The Dune' was fantastic. me and my husband came about this hotel by chance and it is the best vacation we have ever had. This hotel is an eco-friendly hotel but inspite of no TV etc in the room, the amenities are fantastic. it is very very serene and for people who want a break from the maddening routine of their busy lives, this is the place to be to unwind and relax. We has booked only for 4 nights initially but extended the stay to 5 nights/6 days since this place was amazing.

Best Experience: service was fantastic, food was very good and the people very warm and friendly. there are very useful facilities like cycles on hire, a beautiful pool overlooking the ocean. could not have asked for more. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Worst Experience: NONE. the entire stay was fabulous.
