Very spacious and well maintained resort.its kind of mountain placed so difficult for aged ppl.only thing is road is not good till you reach resort.unfortunately we reached room late night were scary to drive.rooms and bathroom were spacious.provides gallery, dressing unit and cupboard.they provided bathroom kit shampoo n shower gel, water bottle and tea coffee kit was provided in room.
Property has lots of room options and all are separated from each other.resort is full of plants,trees. Our stay was very short and couldn’t explore swimming pool. No direct beach access,you have to walk for 5-10 min for beach. They had kitchen with limited options and food was ok ok. Not bad for one time.
If you want kudle beach n you are with kid and need car parking, this is one of the two options
Rooms are lil old n dark. There is a forest feel which i m not really a fan of
Dont take ac rooms in december. It kills the fun of great weather of Gokarna in this month
we had booked this place because the place next door was full and after seeing some reviews here it felt like a risk however our experience was not bad at all on the contrary it was an excellent stay and i will list down the pros and cons of staying here in the below points.
PROS –
property is clean and well maintained , pool is superb , the upper rooms have a partial view of the beach , rooms were clean (but these were new rooms , there are some old rooms as well i am not sure how they are, the rooms i am talking of are near the parking and they are all good and higher ones have a view), they have a well functioning AC , gyser , TV , mini fridge, and we asked for extra towels they provided us with it immediately , the gatekeeper was friendly and welcoming. the MAIN pro of staying here was that we were allowed to check in at 9am and checkout at 1030am and the process was very simple and short.
CONS –
They don’t have a good restaurant and whatever they have is not good, but there are great alternatives nearby, so that’s not so much of a problem . “Half way home” is a lovely option hardly 400 mtrs from this place and kudle beach is walkable and there are very good lunch/dinner options there).
OVERALL VERDICT –
Great option for a stay ONLY if you plan to spend very little time in the hotel. if your main aim is to relax in the hotel and not go out anywhere this is not the place for you as their restaurant and room service is almost non existent. we spent 1 night here and will definitely come here again if we plan for a quick overnight stay in the future.
In the midst of forest, sorrounded by full of big trees,,
Very peaceful with a great swimming pool &
Most importantly u can walk down for just 300 mts to kudle beach .
Staff are very polite & serves best .
We booked a premium AC double bed room which costs on the higher end among all rooms available here, but is average at best. (Acc to online sites, it was the most expensive room – this is important coz if the most expensive room faces these problems, imagine what the cheapest rooms will experience)
We were fascinated to see that our AC room in fact had an AC, however it’s a shame it never worked over the 2 nights except for maybe 10 mins when they worked a makeshift fix (and then it stopped working again).
We also were blessed with the presence of an electric kettle, which gave us strong electric shocks, every time we touched it. When we informed the staff, they came with an electrician and were pretty chill about the fact that their main line got shorted (which basically means, multiple or all rooms were affected by this, and not just us – this was confirmed by the electrician). More than the fact there was an issue, it’s their casual behaviour how multiple guests getting electric shocks is nothing to worry about, that we found concerning. Remember the shock was not a weak one and it could potentially kill a person if they held it long enough.
In our 3 days, 2 nights of stay, there was not a single room service done. When we asked for it, they were like “sorry it’s a weekend, we are busy”. I wished more of us had this level of work life balance.
There was a bathtub in the bathroom. The bathroom was pretty big, probably one of the positives of the room. BUT the bathtub never worked, coz the drainage block was broken (water could not be stored). At this point, we didn’t even bother to report this coz the shower was working fine and we didn’t book the room for its bathtub. But why even add something if you can’t even maintain or check it regularly?
I think some 500 INR homestays will provide you better service than this.
Key point – The manager Mr. Mahabaleshwar was informed about the whole scenario and our discontent and he indirectly was trying to imply that we were lying about the “AC not working” part. I have added a picture of a staff trying to fix the AC as proof – which never got fixed btw. He had zero empathy about the whole thing and had the most casual approach one can expect from the manager of a supposedly 4+ rated accommodation. He had offered us to swap our rooms about 10-12 hours before our checkout time, almost like a formality – coz over 50+ hrs, they thought of this a few hrs before checkout.
