    The Chariot Beach Resort offers stunning views of the Bay of Bengal and easy access to a private beach, making it lovely for walking. The lush landscaping and spacious layout were quite senior-friendly, ensuring a comfortable experience.

    Room cleanliness could be improved for seniors.

    beautiful beach
    friendly staff
    thrilling activities
    room not ready

    Had an amazing weekend getaway with friends! We explored the thrilling activities at the Adventure Activity Village and enjoyed the beautiful beach area. The pool was perfect for relaxing after our adventures, and the staff was friendly. Just keep in mind that the amenities need some updates for an even better experience.

    We faced an issue with the room not being ready when we arrived, which delayed our check-in. Not ideal after a long trip. Our expectations were not met here.

    comfortable accommodations
    beautiful gardens
    friendly staff
    restaurant pricing
    check-in inefficiency

    I had a fantastic stay at Chariot Beach Resort. The sea view cottage offered stunning views and comfortable accommodations. The private beach is perfect for relaxing walks, and the pool area is top-notch. The gardens surrounding the resort are beautifully maintained, adding to the serene atmosphere. I enjoyed some delicious meals at the restaurant. the breakfast spread was impressive, featuring items like dosas and French toast. However, the restaurant prices felt steep for some items, and the charges for single chapatis were excessive. The efficiency of the check-in was disappointing. the room wasn't ready upon arrival, which caused a delay. Despite that, the staff were friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable overall.

    beach access
    clean pool
    poor wifi

    Private beach access gives you a chance to unwind with a view that's hard to beat. The pool area impresses with its cleanliness, making it an enjoyable spot for relaxation after a long day.

    Wi-Fi connectivity in the room is nearly nonexistent, an oversight that's tough to overlook at this price point. Additionally, various critters seemed to have made our poolside cottage their home, which was less than ideal for a cozy stay. The dining experience left much to be desired, with cold food showing up far too often and exorbitant pricing on subpar coffee.

    Relaxing, Relaxing, Relaxing

    I loved my stay at this resort! The Sea View Room provided fine views of the coast, and each morning started with a delicious buffet that had a variety of options to satisfy everyone. The beach access was super convenient, with a battery-operated car ready to whisk us away, perfect for making the most of every relaxing moment by the water!

    Would recommend! 😊🏖️

    Spacious room with a private bathroom and great amenities like air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Kids loved the playground. The beach access is super convenient with a battery-operated car available. Staff always smiling and helpful. The swimming pool was clean. Awesome breakfast selection too with tasty local dishes.

    The garden view from my room was beautiful , but the old furniture was disappointing. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions , but noise from maintenance staff in the morning was disruptive.

    spacious room
    effective air-conditioning
    functional fittings
    worn decor
    signs of age

    The Pool Side Cottage was spacious, and the air-conditioning worked great. The room felt a bit worn, and you could see signs of age in the decor and fittings. It's functional for a stay, but I expected a bit more for the price. Overall, it was decent enough to relax in.
