Uttara Kannada Hotels with Balcony

Firstly I will start with positive points: 1. Good location with pristine beach accessibility 2. huge property with lots of greenery 3. Amazing food everything is prepared freshly, my son loved Veg cheese sandwich. 4. Friendly staff Cons: 1. The entrance to the beach side is little rickety. 2. The activities for kids are not maintained The photos shown on the website are not very good but the property is really good. We spoke to manager/staff and they mentioned the property is going under renovation. I will definitely visit next time after renovation is completed.

If you are looking for a stay over en route, you can choose ibbani. The rooms are clean and the place is safe. It's a pretty new property with an un-trained set of teams. The room is not fully equipped with simple things like electric kettle, coffee/ tea powder and creamer. The restaurant serves food, but the team is hugely stressed and confused. The intercom does not work, the tv does not have basic channels connection.

You will be completely bowled over by the beauty of this property from the moment of arriving at the gates . The vistas are stunningly beautiful and the rooms very tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable It is a fabulous place for some relaxation after a hectic tour and we were lucky enough to spend 2 nights of the 4 in the company of the lovely owners , who treated us to a sensational open air dinner on their last night. However, it is a homestay rather than a hotel and that means that you have to be lucky as far as the other guests are concerned : Since the rooms can accommodate families, you may find yourself confronted with screaming toddlers and noisy facetime calls by the pool, as happened on our last day - which somewhat eclipsed the wonderful experience that we had had until then. For this reason, we cannot give this 5/5 especially as we found the service and the food a bit hit and miss. Our next stop was Ahilya by the sea in Goa - a similar small heritage style property - which offered a far greater choice of food with far better portions / presentation and impeccable service Like other reviewers, we also found the communication difficult at times as it is essentially via whats app . We were also surprised not to be given a map of the area and better information of what to do, especially when renting a motorcycle from them. The information on activities on offer was quite random - pushed quite heavily upon arrival before you've even unpacked and without any details or pricing . Despite promises of this being sent to our room, it never arrived - not that this mattered as we essentially wanted to relax but other guests staying at the time were offered a complimentary boat trip that was not even mentioned to us To round it off, at the time of checkout - we found items on our bill that we had not had and likewise, items missing so our final impression was that this is a stunning but rather chaotic property . We are still glad that we went and feel privileged to have stayed there but the overall service standards fail to match up to the price tag
