Ideal Beach Resort

I paid equivalent to 5 star resort ( maybe 1/4 th less for weekend stay ) . What is good - staffs are friendly & efficient & fast . Rooms are big , bathrooms are big with fan & clean . Private beach access is clean . Swimming pool is big & ok . But the biggest letdown is Reception is non ac . Very hot during checkin Dining hall is non ac . Though there is a small AC hall with 3 tables for ala carte dining . But for morning buffet is in non ac dining hall . Though food selection is good , taste is ok . But you cannot enjoy eating in hot & humid Chennai weather ( if they had charged me half of what I paid then I would have said ok but they double the prices during weekend , which is not worth it )

The hospitality was admirable. The staff are polite and courteous. Food was top notch. The Chief Chef Mr Elayaraja was very patient in understanding our needs and surprised us with an awesome food. This is the best food i have ever had in the resorts I have gone for. Sincere thanks to Mr Karthik, our coordinator who was available round the clock, Souwmi who was with us through our the session, Mr Raja who helped us solve few operational issues ,he was very humble and ensured our expectations are fulfilled. Finally thanks to Mr Senthil and team for the entire coordination.

Amazing property located at the beach. Fantastic atmosphere, you can sit till late and watch the waves. Exllent food, very friendly staff ( very kind life guard on the beach, very helpful staff in the reception), all rooms facing beach. There is as well a huge swimming pools and u can enjoy relaxing massages.

Nice beach resort atmosphere with scattered one and two story accommodation. Beach is close by and the water is so warm but I wouldn't swim there as the undertoe is fierce. Excellent smorgasbord for lunch and dinner and decent breakfast. Our room was comfortable although TV didn't work. Nice shower though. Very tidy grounds which add to the atmosphere

Our stay at Ideal beach (25th May 2024) offered a mix of both delightful and disappointing experiences. On the positive side, the buggy drive around the property was enjoyable. The breakfast served was hearty and fulfilling, featuring a great variety of well-prepared dishes, including South Indian and Continental. Additionally, the room service was excellent, with prompt and courteous responses to all our requests. Our rooms had a beautiful partial-beach view. However, several aspects of the room facilities did not meet expectations. The bathroom was inadequately lighted with no proper ventilation, save for a small dirty window covered with wire mesh that barely sufficed.The room air conditioning unit was old and lacked the potency to adequately cool the room, which was highly uncomfortable in warm weather. One of our rooms were not properly clean as we found clumps of hair under the dressing table and we also had stained bedsheets. Furthermore, the television was too small for the size of the room, which detracted from the overall enjoyment of watching. Another significant drawback was the WiFi connectivity, which suffered from frequent drops, making it difficult to stay connected to the internet. While parts of the stay were enjoyable, the room's comfort and technology amenities made our stay discomforting. Ideal beach resort can boast beautiful landscaped gardens and pools, but careless attitude to room facilities downgrades the overall stay experience.

Beautifully maintained resort with comfortable, immaculately clean rooms. Easy access to a beautiful beach and conveniently located for visiting the gorgeous ancient temples in Mamallapuram. Spacious restaurant serving generous portions of tasty food.
