"Everything about it was good - the location, the staff tries to keep the beach clean but was heartrending to see plastic being washed up on the shore (the worlds irresponsible acts). The hotel staff were great and went to great lengths to make our stay for a family reunion comfortable. Has a swimming pool and other activities- wish I had had time for other activities. Will definitely stay here again"

Top Mahabalipuram Hotel Reviews

Chariot Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room and stay was excellent. Only thing was that we stayed in the Family room No.220 and the TV, phone and the Kettle did not work initially. Then they made the TV and the kettle to work but the phone was out of order and hence calling the reception became a problem. Other than this one thing, everything else was fabulous. We were taken very good care. Will visit this resort again for sure."

Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram

8/10 Good

"Rest room - smell"
