Firstly the staff were fantastic - from the check-in where the girls were so welcoming and friendly (and this continued throughout my stay) through to all the others - cleaners, dining-room, .... they just made the place very special. My room was great - a good size with verandah and views out towards the sea. Food was quite good and the pool was brilliant - big and clean.

Located beautifully - leaves a lot to be desired.

The location is fabulous and the staff at the restaurant were gentle and warm. That alone is nice about this resort. To start with, the bathroom - the door had withered out at the bottom, chipped out and had a gap from the floor. The hygiene faucet had been leaking and was hung on a nail. Did I pay Rs 5K plus for this ? Room size was big and the view overlooking the pool was good. AC was ineffective for the room of that size. AC water drain was blatantly directed into the bathroom leaving it to drip / drain resulting in the floor being wet and slippery. We in fact were asked to change room which we occupied first. Food was average and the waiters were pleasant, so not much to complain. Surprisingly, there were mosquitoes in the room too. I'm allergic to repellents.

Wonderful November 2014 visit

Gorgeous and clean beach, very attentive and accommodating staff, great breakfasts and dinners and comfortable room. The rooms are basic, the lights are florescent and the towels are a bit threadbare, and you can't go on the beach after dark. But the hotel was well kept, the staff was friendly and the pool is refreshing and almost 25 yards long. We had a very pleasant stay. We also booked a yoga master, Magesh, through the hotel and he was excellent. Patrick Scott

There are better hotels out there

The hotel is not well kept and not maintained. The hotel compound is infested with ants nest. Our room is a disastrous place. The curtain falling out. The tv buttons not working. Toiletries is hardly 5ml bottle for 3days. Front desk was not prepared to receive guest. Transfer taxi was expensive but comfortable driver very courteous. The dinning hall staff excellent....food average...but

Mamalla beach resort

Food quality was so poor. Tomato rice was served in the name of biriyani. None of the food items were good. We checked in at 1 pm & asked to wait for almost 30 minutes. After 30 minutes they allotted 1 room in place of 3. I'll think 100 times before I get into this resort again

Great potential

This hotel is right on the beach, with a great location, great swimming pool, and large site with plenty of trees. However, it fails to reach its potential due to poor management. The restaurant overlooks the beach, a lovely place to eat, but the food is overpriced. The rooms are basic, but adequate when not overpriced. Some unpleasant smells around the site suggest poor plumbing. Lack of attention to detail. This has the potential to be a wonderful hotel, more suitable for both international travellers and the Chennai crowd.

Never visit & dont waste your money

A/c's dont work in one or the other way... The condition are very bad & they are very very old. Room service & food utter waste. For a one single double bed room, they'll provide two single beds joined with a gap in-between which is really uncomfortable while sitting & sleeping. I have not taken any photos at the resort bcos my mood was totally off after feeling uncomfortable here.

Wonderful

Our stay at Mamalla Beach was wonderful. Very relaxing and near to the village within walking distance. The staff were very kind and made us very welcome. I especially loved having the pool to cool down and the beach within meters away. The restaurant we overlooking the beach as was every room occupied. I would recommend anyone who wants to relax from the hectic India for a short while to recuperate.

Perfectly nice and quiet!

The location is just a couple of klm's out of Mamallapuram but an easy walk via road or along the beach. If you want quiet which you will want after travelling in India, this is the place, sounds of waves and geese cackling yes geese that grace the resort. The staff very helpful, the restaurant mostly buffet Indian food but very fine and acceptable. I enjoyed me stay there.
