The Chariot Resort & Spa

Nice stay after uncertainties - The stay was very nice but not till the hotel called up 12 hrs before the stay period. The numbers available with expedia as well as in the hotel website are outdated ones and are not functional. There was no way out to confirm on the road directions, vehicle pickup or notify the hotel on tentative arrival time, etc..

Property was just not what was advertised on their website. It is very run down with leaky roofs/ceilings, broken door handles and safety locks. Major issue was Air Conditioning. There was no Air Conditioning on both the rooms booked including no AC in major parts of the property. Front desk is of no help! The best part of the property is the dining service, their staff is very cordial and excellent at their job. No proper road to the property as well as no beach access even though the property is beach front. In all, it was not worth the money we paid for!!!

The hotel excels with its service and immaculate behavior of its people. We stayed there for 6 days and enjoyed our stay. The property is one of a kind with a lagoon and the sea beach after a beautifully maintained garden. The food was good and the chef took special care of us. We had dinner specially prepared for us with local ethnic Odiya cusine. The GM of the hotel is a friendly person and takes personal care. The only problem is the road connectivity.The place remains at a desolate area away from the city.In a saline weather, maintaining the huge property is difficult and wall paints got damped and peeled off at certain points. Power cut is frequent.But at the end of the day we remember the positives only.Lovely people all around greeting in folded hands!
