Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The private beach is an excellent place to chill. Very good food and service all round. Spacious rooms.
- Benoit (8/5): Go for beach n pool... otherwise just about OK - Its OK . 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!
- Patrick (10/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Kindness of staff. The quiet and space around was balm to the weary traveller.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice beach resort, short rickshaw ride from temple - We were lucky to get a nice room with view of sea. Our only disappointment was that the restaurant wasn't better located, as it was set back so far from sea & all under cover.
- Razi (10/5): - Extremely attentive staff and fantastic restaurant. We went for the Sri Lanka theme, and enjoyed the live music at dinner as well as the excellent Sri Lankan food at breakfast. Very clean beach. They need to check the plumbing to avoid bathroom odors.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - It was very good.
- ABHINAV (8/5): Pleasant stay at IBR - The room was spacious and clean. IBR has a private beach which was clean. It also had a nice pool where we enjoyed our time.
- Lb (10/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good, comfortable and Safe
- Chandra (8/5): IDEAL derves fantastic service - Location is ideal for family vacation.
- rv (10/5): Great Resort. - Stayed there for 3 days. Great location; lovely property. Nice landscaping. The pool is awesome. We had a wonderful experience. Staff were considerate and cheerful, eager to assist. Plan to stay there next year also.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great restaurant - Great restaurant and pool. Beach is small but well kept.
- Andrew (10/5): Oasis of Tranquility - Located just outside of the town of Mahabalipuram, 3km away and only a short rickshaw ride into town. 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. Shame we were only there for one night.
- Kumar M (10/5): best place to stay and relax - enjoyed it, good peaceful place to stay
- bathala (8/5): - This is 4th time our family visited this hotel. We are very much satisfied about facility and hotel. Food is nice, swimming pool maintenance very good. Price wise a little bit high
- John (8/5): Good hotel, good location - Comfortable, good facilities, good service, nice food, excellent location, reasonable cost
- GUETTE (10/5): Nice hotel close the beach, the staff very kindly - Site relaxed, friendly, the pool is very clean, also very nice.
- Verified traveler (10/5): one of the best hotels I have stayed in. - Excellent. On the beach. Expedia wants me to write more.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good beach location; expected more for the price - This is a good beach resort about an hour south of Chennai and about 15 min from Mahabalipurum's main sites. Checkin and checkout were pretty fast and easy, although someone mixed up our bill and came after us saying we still owed something, which was embarassing in the parking lot (and also not true--- their error). The room was comfy, clean and well appointed with good modern bathroom, and the front terrace was lovely but didn't overlook the ocean (looked at a lawn and a wall around the property). Meals were all buffet and good diversity with average quality and presentation---and be sure to go early as quantity runs out. The private beach area is great-- basic huts and hammocks and chairs are all convenient, and the little beach restaurant is basic but fine (and closes at 18h). The pool and surrounding area is pretty small and is jammed with kids and families from morning to closing. The area was very crowded-- lots of people everywhere. For almost 9,000 INR per room (deluxe) per night including taxes, i expected much more.....and will look elsewhere next time.
