Prices of food can be adjusted ... But no complaints.

Serene location impeccable maintenance and a superb option to hi for a relaxing retreat

Food at the breakfast buffet was limited the Upma was not good

Good property. Spacious and well maintained

The food is too expensive. Coffee cost 200/- INR. Food not worth the money being paid

One of the biggest attraction is the private beach which is just behind the property. The coast is steep, and the waves break onto the beach with intense force. Its good for those who like it. Those who seek peaceful swimming, its not an ideal one. The property is vast and thus good for a stroll. The rooms are spacious but didnt have a hair dryer and TV. The toilets are huge as well but there was no tub.

The food is definitely a big let down. The buffet breakfast is just a normal spread and not fit for a 4 star property as they claim it to be. I didn't have lunch from the property. On the check in day which was a thursday, we had A la carte dinner. The waiting time after placing the order was close to 1 hour. The sauce which was served for the steak tasted heavily of alcohol and was not cooked properly. Remaining items were good. However the prices are exorbitantly high. Similar dishes costs much lesser at decent restaurants like Anthe, coromondel and the spot at the white town. Friday night was buffet night. There is choice for A la carte though. Having seen the delay and overpriced menu the previous day, we opted buffet which costs around 900 Rs per head for non veg option( without taxes). The spread was again a big let down. Pondicherry is famous for the delicious seafood cuisine. However, the spread did not even have one seafood item. Its a big shame. The highlight was biryani, pulao and one chicken item. For anyone who seeks a different culinary experience, it is a huge let down. The buffet area is also crowded. Very poorly designed. A property which boasts of so much space couldn't allot some more space for the buffet spread. Its a shame and reflects on the taste of the personnel who owns this property. The staff appeared to be lost and not a single one of the serving staff at the restaurant appeared jovial. It was as though the duties are thrust upon them contrary to their wish. Overall, an unpleasant experience at the restaurant. Considering the huge amount of money charged for the stay, it was an unpleasant experience. The property doesnt have the standards of a 4 star property. Just having a vast area doesnt qualify. Even the upkeep of the property needs to be improved. The walk ways are like poorly kept with a lot of dust whenever a buggy passes. The pools are also lacking maintenance.
