The best prt is the beach and the pool. However they close the pool at 6 pm. When asked why? They told.me its Govt. Rules....which i doubt as orhwr pools in TN are open till 7:30/8 pm. It would be lovely to swim after sughtseeing and coming to the hotel...but well! Beach us lovely... food is OK OK. Rooms we stayed in were small ... opening a bag was also uncomfortable. They could keep it cleaner...there were pckets and small plastic waste in front of our toom in the garden. Needs attention..definetly. Loved the beach and pool! ##### Benoit Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick Dec 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and spacious Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ideal Beach Resort! Comfortable and spacious rooms, great service and delicious food during both breakfast and dinner. Mosquitoes are naturally present given the location, so be sure to pack something to deter them. Wifi is not great, so if you need a connection for whatever reason, perhaps plan ahead. ##### Patrick Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kindness of staff.

Our only disappointment was that the restaurant wasn't better located, as it was set back so far from sea & all under cover. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Razi, Indianapolis, USA Nov 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Extremely attentive staff and fantastic restaurant.

L hôtel est calme et reposant en bord de mer le personnel très disponible et attentif surtout au restaurant. Les repas sont très bons y compris le buffet du petit déjeuner qui est tres bien. L hôtel est un peu vieillissant mais tellement bien entretenu que cela n est pas gênant.

Bestens geeignet, wenn man in Mahabalipuram das UNESCO Weltkulturerbe besichtigen möchte. Der Luxe Zimmer in sehr gutem Zustand. Viel älteres Publikum. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### lina Jan 27, 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Een beetje vergane glorie. De kamers zijn nog niks veranderd t.o.v. 10 jaar geleden. Een opknapbeurt zeker voor de badkamer zou geen overbodige luxe zijn. Het bed is prima. Wifi is er ...af en toe. De AC deed het niet. Niemand gezien maar we hebben ons gered met de fan. Het restaurant is prima, heel vriendelijk personeel, goede bediening en een uitgebreide kaart. Jammer dat de diensters exact dezelfde kledij hebben dan hun mannelijke collega's. Hemd en broek voor mannen ! De prijs kwaliteit is voor mij niet meer ok. ##### lina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lb, New Zealand Jan 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The perfect place to relax. Our 3 night stay was lovely. The beach is clean and well serviced by staff. I really enjoyed our first day on the beach, it was picturesque and relaxing. On the second day it was not. There was a large conference at the resort and the beach was packed with loud people who had no concept of personal space. It was really unpleasant, but not much could be done about it other than leaving the beach. Just hope that others get to experience a day like our first, though it is out of guests control. There was some dust on the bedroom furniture, but everything else was great and the bed was amazingly comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The food was very good and the live music entertainment was enjoyable. The staff were very attentive to our needs. Just ask, and they make it happen. ##### Lb Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 7, 2018 Wir waren eine Nacht dort. Das reichte aus.

Hotel and grounds are a haven for relaxation and if you want your moments of true India, the town is just a hop away. Fabulous staff too, they can't do enough for you.
