Top Mahabalipuram Beach Hotel Reviews

Chariot Beach Resort

2/10 Terrible

"The swimming pool was a building site and the whole place needed an upgrade"

Fairfield by Marriott Chennai OMR

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is excellent in their services. Clean and tidy rooms, all amenities working and a polite staff. However the location of this hotel is not very convenient with respect to other key attractions in the city and booking a cab is horribly hard due to lack of availability."

Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was amazing at the Sheraton. The check-in was very quick. Mr. Bibin at the front desk was very polite and receptive. The whole resort was super clean and the all the staff were very kind and approachable. The evening high tea with snacks was arranged near the beach, with tables arranged along the beachside. It was lovely. The pool was at level 3 and very clean. The rooms were very spacious and super clean. The dinner and the breakfast buffet were amazing with a wide spread of tasty dishes. The beach was clean too, though we could not spend much time at the beach due to high tide. There were appropriate signboards for safety purposes. Overall the stay was amazing! "
