Wild Palms on Sea Hotel

The pool wasn't operating when I visited, but there was direct access to the beach. They served good idli for breakfast, and there was a sitting area and a swing inside the property. My room was clean and had wifi, though the switch boards and lights could have been better maintained. I booked a sea facing room, and the view and sea breeze made it worth the cost. The resort's location is amazing.

The place has a dilapidated look and is very poorly kept. The swimming pool was dry.

The restaurant service is the letdown. Staff leave early, so for dinner you'll need to rely on Zomato or nearby places. The resort is a bit far from the main city, and you have to travel a couple of kilometers to reach good restaurants. The rooms are clean, though neither modern nor flashy, and the room itself isn't much to boast about. If you get a beach facing room, the balcony view is great. The location is close to the beach with direct access, plus there's a pool and garden. Even in hot summer weather, the non AC rooms stay cool enough at night to sleep comfortably with the windows open.

We had spa treatments for at least two weeks and got fantastic responses throughout. The beach sand is a great way to ground yourself. Meals can be tailored for vegetarian or ketogenic diets, with the latter being rare for Ayur Veda or Siddha vaidya.
