What People are saying
Good time with old friends on private beach
Prasad_Somwanshi on 15/12/2016 17:24
Location -
- sea facing with private beach with almost complete privacy.
- away from main dapoli city,
- important point for those who are traveling first time and by their own car "NO MOBILE NETWORK AVAILABLE ON ROAD AND SAY HOTEL HENCE CARRY HARD COPY MAPS"
- "no network means can't use CREDIT/DEBIT, so carry sufficient cash"
Rooms -
- all rooms are sea facing and excellent view from top floor rooms
- AC rooms are available but too much power fluctuations and limited backup from DG set. We faced 1 complete day (or of 3 day stay) power shutdown.
Food -
- try some local sea food, we found it very tasty and authentic.
- don't expect luxury in food variety, since they have limited menu.
- you can bring raw fish from outside and give it to kitchen to cook it for you
- Please go with lot of patience, staff is bit slow.
Service -
- average service, but can't expect more from local people.
- humble and supportive people.
Recommendation -
- ask for top most floor room
- give food order 2 hours in advance
- carry as much cash as possible, since nearest working ATM will be 1 hour long from hotel
- Carry as much outdoor games with you
- try to go with big family group....

we were this hotel for two days in summer 2016.
as seeing images hotel location is good.
but there is no service as room are poor, not cleaned ceilling. Bed is in metal so dosent have comfertable back. foot mat is so small in bedroom. for 4 peoples for two nights stay the had given 1 small soap and 1 sampoo sashe, no adiquate platform in room.
we have booked 2 ac rooms 15 days before but when we check in they said 1 ac rooms ac was not working.( Infact they have given to other persons room whoes ac was not working ) A.C. exterior unit is fitted in passage from which water is coming in passage.
lift was not working.
for me its very avarage hotel regarding its cost.
Poor show

Stayed for 2 nights in May 2016. Despite booking a week in advance, lots of issues came up.. AC not working was most horrible, poor management, no water in the morning, no hot water even in the scheduled timing, fluctuating food quality, bad Oder in bathrooms, poor and stinky approach to beach etc. Overall good building with very poor management and bad services.
Not worth the price

I stayed here in Sept 2015 for 2 nights stay with my family. BTW I am landscape photographer and lot of time spend outside and stay at many hotels. This is purely my rating in terms my experience with other hotel around and the price at which they offer
1. Location - very good (3 star), still some 200 meters away from the beach
2. Food - good (3), I wanted to have fish thali, but they mentioned they dont serve thali at all, so preferred to have my meals outside. Once I had ordered fish curry and rice as separately from the hotel and found it was done well.
3. Cleaness - Horrible (zero star), they were lot of ants on the bed. Sincerely horrible experience not able to sleep all night. Change of room rejected saying there is no room available.
4. staff behavior - Very rude. i dont even understand what's they are employed for.
5. Overall judgment - not worth experiencing such bad things after paying some good amount. There are other places which are way better
Excellent location, tasty food, poor facilities

This hotel is blessed with the most perfect location. Right across the quite and non-commercialised part of Karde beach. It is built on a slightly elevated land and hence you get serene views of the sea and the shore even from ground floor. All rooms in this hotel are sea facing. We got a room in the 3rd floor and the view was amazing. The restaurant served one of best konkani food we had during our trip. The prawns curry was out of this world! Even the veg curry dishes were prepared nicely and had a nice konkan touch to them. The service here is good and friendly. The only problem is they had very strict timings for all meals which they never compromised although we went in a big group and had kids. This is something I hate esp when I am on a holiday. But that's konkan for you.
The facilities here disappointed us big time. The most pathetic part was the lift was out of order for all 3 days and we had to climb 3 stairs everytime!! No indoor games or recreation options. Pool table was there but cloth was ripped off so it was unusable. The outdoor lawn was decent but it had smelled of sewage. I guess they have sewage treatment plant there which is not covered. The rooms and restaurant was clean but our room toilet stinked big time and toilet seat cover was broken. A real shame they have so poor amenities. They have very good indoor and outdoor space and could have utilised it better.
So all in all basic budget hotel, good for families with mind blowing view and good food but with poor amenities.
Location - 5/5
Food - 4/5
Service - 4/5
Facilities - 0/5
PS: You are NOT ALLOWED TO CONSUME LIQUOR in the restaurant although they allow you to store it in their fridge and you can consume it in you rooms or other premises.
