Mahabalipuram hotellia

Plussat: Good Breakfast spread. Rooms were large and comfortable bed. Staff were excellent. The general ambiance of the property was good. The path leading to the beach, SPA and specially MR. Suresh who received us at the entrance.

Miinukset: The snacks at the high tea definitely needs improvement. It was soggy and cold and we had to wait for the refills as it took long time.

Plussat: Very good propert and they maintained very well.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain

Plussat: The Melting Pot always does great breakfasts. Sets you up for the rest of the day. And they made filter coffee with soy milk for my vegan friend.

Miinukset: No hot water for the tub.

Plussat: Everything !! It has so many things to do, in its 47 acres of property, that i felt that our 1 night stay was, atleast a day less. Just sit & read on its beach or by the pool, or keep yourself busy in its numerous activities. Service was impeccable !

Plussat: The property is beautiful, peaceful and has direct beach access. The hotel staff were polite and trying their best to help at all times. The took great care of our diet restrictions and even went out of their way on occasion. Special thanks to Mr Guru (F&B Manager) and Mr Pritam who waited on us and served us, ensuring that we got vegan, gluten free, lactose free and regular food as precisely required, all in a single order. Great job by the restaurant folks. We were made to feel very welcome. The infinity pool is great and the center pool is one of the longest we have seen. Great for families as it gives a lot of space and people are not bumping into each other in the pool.

Miinukset: The service was slow as the hotel was full on account of the holidays. We stayed in the period between Christmas and New Year eve. The staff tried its best to service all clients, but were not entirely supported by the kitchen I feel. They kept missing items and getting them late. The hotel is very used to less than full occupancy and has trouble keeping up during peak holiday periods. There were a lot of angry voices everywhere around us on account of this one aspect.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Incredible rooms and swimming pools. A short walk from the sea. Great restaurants. Friendly and caring staff. We were very touched that they surprised us with a cake for our marriage anniversary. One special thing we appreciated was the beautiful playlist of light classical (Indian and western) played in the main restaurant.

Miinukset: Nothing comes to mind

Plussat: The food at the hotel restaurant (water edge cafe) was excellent-this was the main highlight of our stay Beautiful location-right by the sea Lovely huge pool Beautiful landscaping and hotel grounds Friendly staff

Miinukset: Service was little chaotic. We booked a sea view chalet but they gave us a room in the main building which did not have working air conditioning. Once we reminded them that it was not what we booked, they were able to change our room and give us a chalet but the TV and internet did not work very well despite multiple attempts to ask the staff to fix it. Some of the chalets need to be renovated

Plussat: A beautiful resort with lovely villas in a glorious setting. Wonderful staff everywhere, efficient, smiling and cheerful. Excellent food with lots to choose from, all delicious and very clean. Top notch.

Miinukset: They had a loud, corporate event one night but accepted that it had been a problem and reduced charges. I would advise them to not hold such loud events again or else inform those who have booked on such dates in good time.

Plussat: Location, pools and spa services

Miinukset: Service from staff

Plussat: Vast area, well maintained & beautiful property, despite being around for a long time . Amazing beach access. Staff extremely courteous & helpful

Miinukset: Could be more Local specialities in food perhaps, food a touch pricey

Miinukset: They charged additional and huge amount for gala dinner which we were not aware off. When asked to refund or cancel they mentioned refund is not possible. They forced us to pay double than the price that the room tarriff. Very sad to shell my hard earned money without my will and wish.

Plussat: Absolutely Nothing

Miinukset: The way they treated us and the rooms were pathetic. Not at all value for money

Plussat: The room was spacious and well furnished. Beds very comfortable with choice of pillows. Bathroom also large with lots of hot water and toiletries. Breakfast spread impressive and we really enjoyed dinner from the a la carte menu. Majority of staff friendly, helpful and efficient. Pool lovely and beach area well kept with chairs offered in shade immediately you appeared. Life guards very vigilant - important in view of wild sea. Nice mix of Indian and Western holiday makers.

Miinukset: Pillows a bit dodgy under case and strange way of making bed at times - eg sheet on top of duvet!! As it was very hot struggled to access sheet and get rid of duvet. Music dreadful in dining room and needed to tune it out to avoid screaming. Shame when food so good. Could have used hand towel as well as bath towel. A couple of members of staff hanging around looking for tips though they were not the ones who had assisted us and so deserved recognition.

Plussat: Price is too much high. Limited time Swimming pool (Which is not good). Breakfast is good.

Plussat: Almost everything is perfect.

Plussat: Private beach..

Miinukset: Old property with old ambience like rooms

Plussat: Location, Beach Access, Rooms, Ambiance, Facilities, staff behavior, Breakfast Buffet (the ultimate Superstar of the resort)

Miinukset: Food (Especially the Ala Carte menu) at evenings or for that matter lunch, needs a major improvement right form quality to service, the food is not appetizing as it sounds in the menu once delivered or served. The food quality of A la carte menu and the breakfast buffet is like light years apart. The breakfast buffet steals the limelight in Colossal as i have put up already in the likes section.

Miinukset: don t consider me staying because they said i had no resevation

Miinukset: Bathroom not good and shawer not working. Bed not comfortable. Room not good etc...

Plussat: Bed and bed linen Shower Coffee

Miinukset: Smarten room fixtures and fittings a little Fridge not clean or working

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: The food was really really good!!! The staff and the hospitality met the expectation. The place is very near to all the important must visit spots. Glad I chose Mamallaa heritage as it met the needed criteria for a shot stay!....

Miinukset: The rooms were not spacious enough as shown in the pic... May be they should update the pics to shown how in real they were looking. Also there were stains in the pillow cover and bedsheets, we were trying to adjust by flipping the other side of the pillow .. there was even more big stains the other side. They could have taken care of these two which would have made the stay perfect enough. One take away for me is to check the room size and not just decide with the pics...

Plussat: Friendly staff, decent breakfast, the coffee was good. The swimming pool was a very welcome break from the humidity. Location is great, easy walking distance to key sights and a selection of bars and restaurants nearby. Hotel arranged transfers for us from airport, very reasonable prices. We would stay here again.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Nice pool to cool off after the day. Good walking distance to the shore temple, the Butter ball and restaurants at the waterfront.

Miinukset: everything was ok

Plussat: Staff were very friendly. Good location. Good food. Relaxing private beach and wonderful spa treatment.

Miinukset: Bathrooms and bedroom furniture need upgrading. The bathrooms need adequate lighting, tiles and makeshift fixes should be replaced.

Plussat: nothing worth mentioning...

Miinukset: Service was pathetic, Property charged us mandatory dinner exorbitant charges, which was not mentioned or alerted while booking. Mandatory dinner with such high costs is wrong to be imposed on customers. Staff service pathetic. Check in as well as check out. Unprofessional.

Miinukset: Nothing was good They charged 6000 per head mandatory for a stupid new year party which was pathetic

Plussat: The staff, the food and the private beach

Miinukset: Not clean enough. Service was hopeless but the staff tried hard. Basic stuff not available.

Plussat: Amazing property and facilities.....the location, the beach, the pool, other facilities, the size of the room, the overall comfort and quality of food. Great place for a family vacation, we were 6 adults and 4 kids and had a wonderful trip there for 4 days.

Miinukset: Bathrooms could be better, lighting in rooms could be better.

Miinukset: Lot of hidden charges, pathetic staff who has no idea what the heck is going on. Images on the website is very misleading. Not fit to be a 4 star property

Plussat: Property located at the right place for hangout

Miinukset: Swimming pool is not good and the food is utter waste. Cost per room is not worth & no access to near by stores.

Plussat: Rooms were very comfortable

Plussat: Like there hospitality, service was great, my 5 year kid enjoyed a lot in the swimming pool and we all had a excellent time over there.

Miinukset: All was good

Plussat: Place food service

Miinukset: Good & keep it up, good ambience pleasant stay and peaceful environment

Plussat: The pool was great and the staff friendly. Good value.

Miinukset: There was a problem with a party that went on too long. Management responded by giving us a discount.

Plussat: Breakfast spread, location

Miinukset: View from room

Plussat: Excellent location Fantastic pool

Miinukset: AC was not working that was the only horror I had as this place is humid

Plussat: It was very comfortable and it is near to beach and to the temples and monument. Very calm place

Miinukset: Dinner cost was too costly just for 2chapati and 2naan with 2curry costed around 515rs..

Plussat: Location and swimming pool was good. Restaurant was good, all dishes were tasty. Check out was simple.

Miinukset: Reception and readiness of room was very poor. Not even a place to wait for the room to be ready. No bed coffee. Price not worth.

Plussat: First of all they are not accepting the booking from OYO No food, no room service no response No restararunet and very poor at a tourist site

Plussat: Nothing. Staff cominucation is rude. They didn't provide us water bottle. Room was smelling. Even bathroom is not clean. In photo it shows something and really it's not good. Is not preferable those especially stay with family... I m totally disappointed

Miinukset: They had no record of our booking and no available space.

Plussat: resorption person nice mrs shivani nice spoke explan for role and resonance

Plussat: The location is good

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Washroom / bath area

Plussat: Courteous Staff and Neat Rooms.Worth the price paid.

Plussat: Clean room but no water in the morning, no Wifi, no hot water kettle. no channels on the cable. We had to wait for a while before the staff fixed the water. Wifi never worked. Location was good.

Miinukset: no water in the morning, no Wifi, no hot water kettle. no channels on the cable.

Plussat: Location - you can walk everywhere or take cheap tuk tuk. Wi fi doesn't work in rooms, only at reception or outside the room, so by their local data with phone calls together if you like to gave a map when you walk around. I did just fine without, just ask other tourists, locals don't speak English.

Miinukset: I wish I knew how to find out if I was charged on my credit card for the stay before I arrived in hotel. I paid cash when leaving.

Plussat: only the location was decent rest all was pathetic

Miinukset: pathetic room condition, walls were worst. room condition was worst not suggested

Plussat: Comfortable bed

Miinukset: Dirty outside my room. My room didn't have any clear outside window.

Plussat: The location considering the price

Miinukset: Value for money
