Villas in Cuddalore District

"Breakfast was good. They seem terribly short staffed. So there is a loooong wait before you’re served. I feel staff is exhausted too with little or no down time. The same people were seen on duty all day long. Reception staff seems a little lost. For every query it’s - I’ll get back to you & No one gets back. I was surprised to see my villa not cleaned & beds not made after a 5-6 hours outing. When i asked why, i was asked back if I had asked for room cleaning! This was shocking. I have never before ASKED for the room to be cleaned! A trivial problem - there was no Diet Coke on any day at any meal. I had asked for it on day 1. No effort was made to procure it for the next 3 days either. Disappointing. Lastly, the famous South Indian thali was not readily available. This was strange. We were told that you need to book it 24 hours prior. So we did that. Imagine our surprise that when we reach the restaurant absolutely starving after sight seeing & ask for our Thalis ( booked for 8 PM & we reached at 8:15 PM ) everyone looked surprised. The manager wasn’t there. The waiter looked surprised. We were upset. As senior citizens we eat meals at fixed hours. Food was finally served after 9 PM. The resort is beautiful. People come for the ambience & stay. But they’ll lose customers if they don’t get their staff trained afresh. PS. There was absolute RELUCTANCE to give us the hotel car. The staff kept pushing us towards a private taxi service. "

"Save your money and time and avoid this hotel. It’s not worth the price they charge. Outdated, shabby rooms and facilities. The bathroom felt unclean and unkept. Breakfast had minimal options and the food was cold. The WiFI never worked and the staff had no solutions to the issues as they were raised. Honestly this was a disappointing stay."

"Very helpful and kind staff."

"Yes"

"This is a great place to stay in Kumbakonam. The property is large and has many interesting features. The staff are good. I will visit again possibly in winter. I have only 2 negatives to say - 1. I had ordered a Beetroot soup and it was almost cold and the quantity was not impressive too. Was just not fair to charge for this. 2. Next day morning breakfast [This was a solo visit] ... no one bothered to ask me for dosa or coffee. Was pathetic. Overall, I was not impressed by restaurant and value for money in the restaurant. Next time I will never eat here there are better places like Mangalambika nivas, Gowrikrishna etc. For a vegetarian like me to eat idly and dosa...i need not spend a fortune here. Moreover, things like soup were very disappointing."
