Sunlux Grand Residency

The rooms weren't ready on time, and parking is limited, so you may have to keep moving your car. Booking.com reservations don't seem to carry much weight here, like at other hotels in Pondicherry. The location isn't great. It's not beachfront, though you can see the beach from the rooftop.

The stay itself was good, but smoking and drinking are allowed in the rooms. Service wasn't good either, and they reused the bedsheet from the previous day.

We enjoyed seeing the sunrise, and the kids had a happy time in the swimming pool. It's a pleasant, well secured place for a family stay. There's no restaurant, but we were satisfied with the frequent online food options.

The service from Fabhotel was completely worst, and the price difference was higher than what we were promised. There was no breakfast, despite what the site said, and no hangers in the bathrooms. We booked three rooms online, but the actual beds had no relation to what was shown on the site, and no extra beds were provided. The rooms were too small for triple occupancy and weren't cleaned when handed over. The bathroom smelled terrible, and the pool was full of dirt and needed maintenance. Worst experience ever.
