Chennai Resorts feels like a scam with prices quoted equal to a 5-star hotel and it's a pity that it's in this shape. - You have good 5-star hotels like Taj, Sheraton & Intercontinental. - Or you have local resorts that claim to be 3-star but actually, they are 2-star with pool and garden or Establishments are very old (15 years and above) which don't make sense to stay when you compare them with budget stays on the beach in SE Asia countries like Thailand, Indonesia or Cambodia. - another type of accommodation are home/Villa converted into a stay without the hotel service you get which are also overhyped Except for Government tourism accommodation which needs to be booked way in advance, finding a decent 3-star hotel for a middle-class family is a wild chase, Add any long weekend/Holidays you're paying a premium. considering all these, We had a very good experience with our first holiday experience in this resort which was found luckily at the last moment but with a higher price due to the Long weekend/holiday. We paid INR6000 for a Normal/Deluxe room which had 1 Queen size bed with 1 single bed with a toilet. Was a worthy one if it was within INR5K (it can be booked for INR 4.5k via Agoda or other online portes if booked in advance) Pro's 3 Star resort Has Vast space with 40-50 Rooms and good vibe, not like other hotels or resorts where its crowded Good Parking space for cars and two-wheelers Small play area for kids Access to beach (6 AM to 8 PM) Breakfast is included Cons - Very Poor Food options - is in the middle of nowhere, in between Kovalam and Mahabalipuram and hence difficult to find any eateries nearby, - Connectivity: suggested for people with a vehicle/car, if relying on public transport can get dropped off by Ola/Uber/Rickshaw but going back to Chennai is only by local shared auto till Kovalam/Mahabalipuram and then taking a bus which means 2 - 3 hours to reach Chennai - Beach access can be kept till 9 or 10 PM? Amenities that were available / Not available - 2 x 500 ml Water/ Room - Tea/Cofee station available - Refrigerator available - Room AC available - TV available (Unfortunately no Recharge was available) - small garden area - Big garden for functions - Swimming Pool with 1ft, 2ft, 3ft and 4 ft depths - Beach access - No Hair dryer or iron in the room - No Shoeshiner or utilities kit -No Spa -No Beachside shack to sit and chill Can Improve themselves by - CHANGE YOUR RESTAURANT OFFERING ASAP, No one has a good opinion of the food - If you think your food is really good (of the 40 rooms, less than 5 rooms had food in your restaurant) Consider giving Breakfast and dinner and wow them with your food. - Fixing all their rooms with actual 3-star amenities - reconsidering beach access till 9:00 PM - Planning a Beach shack for people to chill (At least at the end of your resort) - Probably having 4-5 resort cars/Taxi will earn them ROI from the people who stay at the weekends - Plan something to engage the crowd, M
