Situated in Mahabalipuram, 600 metres from Pallava Beach, Kaldan Samudhra Palace features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a restaurant. This 5-star resort offers a kids' club and room service. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a concierge service. The price for a night is high but for good reasons. The staff is very courteous and attentive. The whole hotel is clean and nicely decorated. We had an unfortunate incident in our room and we didn't want to make a fuzz about it but the hotel staff were extremely apologetic and did all they could to make us feel comfortable by changing our room (which we did not expect). We truly loved the breakfast as well! So many different options and a nice selection of fruits were included. Dining in the hotel is quite pricey but expected of the place you are staying in. I was especially impressed that during the hi-tea session, my dietary requirements were filled without questions. You can see that they want all of the guests to have a good snack and not to be left out. Also, the hi-tea session had really-really amazing food options in general. I would say it was lavish, exactly as the hotel itself. If you want to enjoy the sea and the waves, the hotel has a little strip of beach that is being constantly cleaned by the staff. Just sit down, relax and look into the abyss of nature.

Among the facilities at this property are room service and a concierge service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 50 km from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Marutham Village Resort in Mamallapuram is an absolute gem! This traditional Tamil village-themed resort offers an unforgettable experience that seamlessly blends rural charm with modern comforts. From the enchanting bullock cart rides to the captivating cultural programs like Karakaattam, every moment here is a journey into the heart of Tamil culture. The cow farm, pumpset shower, and warm hospitality of the staff all contribute to the authenticity and warmth of the stay. My 1.5-day visit was far too short to fully savor everything this resort has to offer, and I'm already planning my return for a longer stay. It's a definite 5-star destination, and I can't wait to immerse myself in this cultural haven once again!

The front desk, bell staff, and the restaurant breakfast team were all very helpful and made our stay pleasant.

Located in Mahabalipuram, a few steps from Pallava Beach and 44 km from Arignar Anna Zoological Park, The Sea Shelter Garden Villa provides accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a private beach area and a garden. The property is non-smoking and is set 21 km from Nithya Kalyana Perumal Temple. My 14 yr old daughter and I stayed for 2 weeks and were so happy with this accommodation. It's right on the edge of the fisherman's colony with easy walking access to both beach and the town. Being in its own, gardened compound made it feel like home away from home. We wanted somewhere that we could retreat to, with our own space and cooking facilities and Sea Shelter Garden Villa gave us all that and more. The facilities were great and we wanted for nothing. Consistent wifi, great air con, hot water, TV with access to Amazon Prime - there is even back up power to run fans/couple of lights in the case of a power cut. It was very clean and the addition of fly screens on the windows meant we could open them without mosquitoes etc getting in. Thangaraj was the perfect host; he was attentive and checked in often via WhatsApp but gave us our space. He provided water and brought refills whenever needed. We would not hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay again.

House Of Suhama is a beachfront property set in Mahabalipuram, a few steps from Pallava Beach and 41 km from Arignar Anna Zoological Park. The property has sea views and is 44 km from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and 46 km from Anna University. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean. Really worth your money. Quiet place to take some rest. It is better to come with a 2-wheeler, to reach easily Mahabalipuram if this is your goal. I liked it a lot.
