Dune Eco village and Spa

The beach was lovely and private. The check-in and check-out process was smooth. The manager was friendly and trying his best to sort things out. The property is large and has the potential to be a featured destination.

Where do we even start? Location: The property is located far from Pondy. If you are planning to visit Pondy sights, don’t stay here Property: this is a largish resort, but the beach is quite a walk away. There are no beach-facing villas. God knows why the planners did not utilize the biggest potential USP of this property Our villa: Weird, to say the least. The structure seems to have been reconstructed from the wooden components of older houses that were dismantled. While such an arrangement is not a bad idea per se, the maintenance inside is bad. The bathrooms were poorly maintained, the beds were creaky, and there was lizard poop on the towels. The linen and towels may be cleaned, but they urgently need to be replaced because they are very old and stained. There were these old photos of dead people all over the walls, which, combined with the very dim lighting, musty smell, and frequent power cuts at night, gave the villa a really spooky feel. We were unable to sleep well on both nights. The living room had no AC, and there was no TV, which were additional bummers. The 'free' breakfast was poorly planned. The variety on both days was very limited, and the food (including the juice) was of poor taste and insufficient quantity. The guys at the dosa/egg counter were overworked, and their output was disappointing. Other foodstuffs kept running out. Dogs and crows were hanging around the food place, and no one was bothered to clear it out. The restaurant is primarily non-AC, making it uncomfortable in a place like this. There should be more fans with water spray or some coolers at least. There is a small AC food place that is poorly maintained and musty, and the AC is unable to cool it enough. There were other facilities, all of which appeared somewhat old and not very well maintained. Overall, we felt severely let down by the experience and poor facilities, which were NOT at all value for the hard-earned money which we spent on the 2 nights there.

Kaikkiaan paikka oli todella viihtyisä ja juuri minun makuuni maanläheinen. Täällä on mahtava rentoutua.

Ravintolassa linnut hieman häiritsivät, kun varasteli ruokia pöydistä. Bungalowin suihkussa olisi parantamisen varaa. Vettä ei meinannut tulla.

Staff was good At reception Manager Umapathi had given good welcome.

Nothing much to say

Good property. Spacious and well maintained

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

Le jardin magique et le personnel au top, la cuisine super bonne.

Rien

Outstanding service, from reception to checkout, led by Mr. Umapathy and well trained staff

Mosquitos need better control

The location

Food and the walk ways.
