I had a nice two-night stay at this resort. It's located away from the hustle of Velankanni, which was refreshing, and parking was easy. The room was clean and comfortable, although a bit small for three people. The dining experience was decent, but the menu options were quite limited, especially for vegetarians. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with some room for improvement, especially in the food variety.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was clean and surprisingly neat for a spot in a small town. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, and being just 1.5 kilometers from the Basilica made my trip easy. However, I found the dining options a bit repetitive during my stay, and the swimming pool was under maintenance, which was unfortunate. Overall, it was a good value, especially since we received a discount on our booking.
