My husband and I had a great time at this hotel in September 2016. The hotel is wonderful! Previously visited 5 stars hotels of Turkey and Egypt, I must admit, this hotel is much better on all conditions! At the beginning we booked a room for 3 days, but we liked it so much we stayed another day. I want to say the staff there are very polite and attentive. When we arrived, we were greeted at the reception, they put on ours necks garlands of fresh flowers,gave fresh juice to us. We stayed in room 313 on the ground floor with sea views. Room were clean and fresh, air conditioning and fans to choose from. Bedroom, dressing room with badudoir and a huge bathroom. Everything looks European style. Every day the room was cleaned, changed linens. The room has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The food is wonderful. Breakfast, lunch, dinner – buffet or you can order something particular . Food for every taste, cuisine are European and Indian and for children all sorts of Goodies! The waiters are apparently the best in India, very attentive but not Intrusive. The hotel grounds are amazing with their cleanliness and order, in all visibility, the owner of the hotel is very demanding. Daily cut lawns, watered flowers and cleaned from early morning until late evening. The beach is very clean, it is also cleaned every morning. On the beach has everything for a quiet and pleasant rest - chairs, towels, hammocks. Palm trees on the beach provide welcome shade for comfort. There is a large pool, a gym and a place for pig-pong . Near the pool there are sun loungers. For fun we visited the Radisson BLU Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram is a 5*, which is near Idea recort. We went there for lunch in the restaurant the Wharf. To our surprise the food and service in our restaurant was much better. We really had a wonderful relaxing time and will definitely comeback again to this hotel! A great thanks to all the staff of this hotel.
