We arrived at 9 in the morning even though check-in is normally at noon. The manager was very supportive and let us use a hall room to rest and freshen up. I really appreciated his help. Very good place to stay, with good staff behavior. Must stay.

The rooms were just like the online photos, clean and neat, with small balconies where we could dry our clothes after the beach. We were all satisfied with them. Our group was 20 people, five families on a Gokarna trip. We booked two twin bed rooms for three families and two double rooms for the other two families. The kids spotted the pool as soon as we arrived around noon and played there for a couple of hours. There’s a vegetarian restaurant at the hotel with decent food. It doesn’t have many varieties, but choices nearby were limited, so it worked for our group. Thanks to the management and staff for keeping the rooms clean.

A good family resort. The beaches are about 5-6 km away, and the rooms each have their own balcony. Our double room was spacious enough for my family. There’s a vegetarian restaurant on the property, and the food is good.

We also had trouble getting hot water. After we chased them repeatedly for two hours, they finally brought it in buckets. I’d booked the room for two days and told them we’d need to check out late. At 11 am, the staff turned off the AC without telling us. They first said they wouldn’t turn it back on for the extra time we were staying, then charged extra for the AC, which we were willing to pay, and switched it on. The place is neat and well maintained, but the service is pathetic.
