The Dune Eco Village and Spa - Pondicherry

A peaceful property and stay. The beach was excellent and the staff were very friendly and energetic ( especially Mr Umapathy). The food was cooked with fresh ingredients and was tasty. We could play cricket on the grounds and use the cycles. WiFi was not available in the rooms which was a hassle. There were some power cuts and some of the lights were not always working.

Kudos to Dune Eco Village Resort's outstanding team! Their relentless efforts ensured a fantastic stay. Manager Umapathy's exceptional service and attention to detail made our experience truly special. Thank you for an unforgettable getaway

Usually I don't write feedback but the service provided by Umapathy and team was excellent. The receptionist welcomed us as soon as we got down from the car. Umapathy and his team made sure we had a pleasant stay.The 40 acre resort is eco friendly and promotes organic food and healthy life style which is my kind. This is first resort I have been which promotes organic food so in am giving 5 star rating for this. For fitness freak they arrange yoga session during weekend which I personally liked. My 5 year old son thoroughly enjoyed his time in indoor swimming pool and bath tub provided in wooden cottage. Overall a very good service and special thanks to Umapathy who has been fabulous in his service

We stayed there for 2 nights...very good service.....very greeny environment which makes us feel fresh ....food served there tasted yummy...beach was also easily accessible...Buggy shuttle service is available 24/7 .Spa there was really relaxing and would suggest everyone to visit .

We spent a couple of days at Dune Eco Village, and as always, the stay was comfortable, and the property was in excellent condition. I would love to return many more times. However, there were a couple of unusual experiences that I feel are worth bringing to the attention of the concerned team. First, Mr. Umapathi, who I presume leads the team, exhibited some actions that felt somewhat forced and unnatural—such as singing and attempting to engage in conversation. While hospitality and engagement are appreciated, these interactions felt a bit overdone rather than organic. Second, during checkout, I received a call from the lobby at 11 AM as a reminder. I requested 10 more minutes, assuming it was a standard notification. Exactly 10 minutes later, someone knocked on the door to check if we were ready to leave. When I said not yet, another person arrived shortly after with the same question. This repeated follow-up felt frustrating and intrusive, especially at a luxury resort. When I asked those at the door who had sent them, they informed me it was Mr. Umapathi. If there was a strict checkout deadline due to room preparation for the next guests, I should have been informed in advance so I could plan accordingly. However, I am quite certain that no one was scheduled to take the penthouse immediately after our departure as it was checkout on weekdays

The resort is just beautiful and the feeling of a small village with all the seperate bungalows spread widely across the property. Great kitchen and attentive staff basically with food available all day. Remarkable mix of Indian and continental. Fresh cooked eggs and dhosas in the morning. Overall cannot recommend this hotel enough. Although just 30 minutes by tuktuk from the center of Pudicherry it feels a world away. Spa is excellent as well and had 2 massage sessions which were great.
