Grande Bay Resort and Spa Mamallapuram

Large swimming pool with nice warm water. That too right next to the room.

No direct access to the beach. However transportation was provided to travel to the beach.

The resort is well maintained, nice and friendly staff. Takes care of each details.

Very good location. Great attentive staff. Beautiful property. Access to beach

Great food in restaurant. Very clean swimming pool.

Beach access is unclear a discouraged for safety reasons

Good 👍

Location and breakfast

Little refurbishment of the facility is needed.

Good location and Clean

Everything. The staff. The swimming pool. The way they treat infants. The room service.

Everything was good

It was one of the best properties

Swimming pool is big with comfortable water temperature. Bedroom was spacious and comfortable

Beach venue could have more things to do and places to sit

The hospitality and service by the staff was amazing. They were very helpful and fulfilled any request we had. The stay, facilities, pool, and food were also very good. Our entire family enjoyed a relaxed time and had enough activities to do together as well.

Nothing

Extremely polite and friendly staff. The food was excellent. Amazing location right at the entrance to Mahabalipuram

Some of the facilities are a bit old. But the pool was good

Location, very nice swimming pool, spacious bedrooms, good food

Everything’s was ok. I would definitely recommend that place.

Café da amanhã completo mais de 10 opções típicas da Índia e 5 ocidentais, apesar que eu sempre prefiro as comidas típicas locais, cama e quarto extremamente confortáveis. A piscina foi o ponto alto, muito limpa, temperatura ótima, tamanho grande para acomodar todos os hóspedes de forma confortável, locais rasos mas também locais com boa profundidade cerca de 180. Tivemos um problema com o ar-condicionado, eles resolveram com rapidez.

Easy paddle to good surf break.

Fabulous stay, one of the best I have stayed so far! If I take individual names it would be biased, each and every one of the staff were excellent, friendly and obliging. Thank you!

If the menu in the breakfast could have changed that would be great! 3 days of the same repeated breakfast menu seems difficult to consume.

Great staff - really taking care off you. Huge swagger mining pool, great food. Early check in morning and late check out was made possible.

Nothing all great

. the friendly staff were always ready to help; a special mention to PINKY, who was absolutely brilliant, . excellent food and pastries and also: . a huge and very practical room, especially the bathroom . a fantastic swimming pool – the likes of which we’ve rarely seen.

However, a good clean is needed on much of the wall paint and the windows. That’s our feedback. pas grand chose

Lovely hotel with a beautiful lobby and pool area. Extremely helpful staff. We received a room upgrade that included a balcony overlooking the beach. We were able to cool off in the pool and change into fresh clothes in the late afternoon before heading to our next destination.

Ambience and layout

Breakfast spread is limited. Mosquitos. The room rate is same as a 5star hotel but didnt feel that luxury. The beach is bit far from the property and they provide shuttle service though it's a walkable distance.In the beach front they have a separate property, you can have the sea view comfortably from there.

Location and helpful staff

The swimming pool can be maintained better. Kids started getting skin rashes.

Pool was well maintained. Breakfast was good, may be they can think about extending breakfast serving time by another 30 minutes. Room was good they upgraded our room to duplex.

The beach is little bit far away from property we need to wait for 5 minutes atleast for the buggy vehicle.

Our stay here was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed with complimentary nannari root drinks (a thoughtful touch I'll never forget), we knew this would be special. The service truly set this place apart. The staff constantly ensured we felt comfortable and at ease throughout our stay. The room was spacious with an excellent air conditioning system that provided perfect relief from the heat. The resort itself is beautiful. The pool was immaculately maintained and absolutely gorgeous, a wonderful spot to unwind. After long days exploring Mahabalipuram's incredible temples and beaches, returning here felt like coming to a sanctuary. The food was outstanding, and they even had a late afternoon tea service with complimentary snacks which was a delightful daily ritual we looked forward to. These small but meaningful touches really elevated the entire experience. The location is ideal, very close to the beach, making it convenient for both sightseeing and relaxation. Each day only enhanced our appreciation for this place. It's rare to find a property where every detail is so thoughtfully considered. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Mahabalipuram.

That I had to leave :,)

Great hotel, short walk from centre. Lovely pool with nice outdoor seating areas. I stayed in a duplex right next to the pool and it was lovely sitting on the upstairs balcony, very relaxing. Staff all very friendly and professional. One or two. Suddenly having.

It was perfect.

Absolutely nothing.

Staff were very polite and helpful. They upgraded our room .food was excellent. Good location and accessible to the beach

Nice resort to go with family. Pri ate beach access is available. The swimming pool was good. Spa and other activities are good. Breakfast was nice. The restaurant and bar was good.

Can be better maintained. Buildings kind of old in many places.

I booked this property without any expectations but surprisingly enjoyed a lot. I liked the cleanliness of all places including rooms, amenities etc. Value for money and we have a peaceful time over there.

I didn’t find any

The Grande Bay resort has, of course less sprestige than the the other luxury hotels close by but have much more decent prices during the weekend. They did their best to allocate me a very nice room. Staff, from reception to bar or restaurant, were very welcoming and smily. Excellent breakfast. I only stay one night so I haven't been able to enjoy all facilities but they propose several as afternoon tea time. They arranged me a city tour by tuk tuk.

Musical playlist in the hotel could be much nicer than 80-90s hits.

Staffs, facilities and breakfast everything were excellent.

Everything…this resort is the place to go if you want to have a relaxing vacation with the warmest staff taking wonderful care of you. The room was perfect as described, the swimming pool was big and well maintained, the private access to the beach lovely. The breakfast spread was delicious with a lot of options. Since we are vegan and had informed earlier, the staff took utmost care to ensure we had many options. They even procured soy milk specially for us. The complimentary high tea was also very good. Also, the resort is walkable distance from the main attractions in Mahabalipuram. The restaurant in the resort is wonderful, with a lot of tofu options. However, if you need a change, the restaurant A2B is right across offering you some extra options as well. The best part however is the amazing staff. The people are warm, welcoming, and so helpful.

Really nice resort and the staff and food were fantastic. Close to town but quiet. Highly recommend

Nothing

Wonderful place with beach access and kids pool. Such a relaxing stay. Spacious rooms with five star facilities. Super clean and friendly place. Splash pad for kids for extra fun

Food options and taste can be improved. Indoor activities can be held

We were extremely lucky it seems - we got a room with a sea view (far but still something), could hear the waves and felt we had more privacy with our terrace looking towards the sea. We were also lucky that the hotel was half empty making it more quiet. Their restaurant had a decent selection of food and we dined there throughout the stay. Prices were fairly reasonable for what they offered!

The room was a bit worn down but otherwise the stay was good!

Excellent pool facilities Very cordial and helpful staff and front desk Excellent room and toilet ameniyies

Breakfast spread was ok, could have been better with items like Bacon, cheese platter, cold cuts Beach access was cumbersome

Exceptional resort with absolutely excellent customer service. Lourdes gets 100% for her excellent service!

There’s nothing we didn’t like.

Nice location

Not neatly cleaned room , stinking towels ( very old) room internal telecom service is very Poor ( it works on & off)

Ambience.. Room cleanliness. Staffs were polite

I wouldnt say I didn't like however, need few improvements on Kids play area. Add few more outdoor games / activities for kids

Great pool and room (I was on the 2nd floor very close to the Spa) Afternoon tea was provided for free. Nice touch. Breakfast choice was also very good! Dinner was a little expensive (fish dish) for the size of the meal, but it tasted nice. Location is ok, unless you want to be close to the main streets in the town.

The signal for the TV was not good, so I was not able to receive many of the foreign channels. The staff did their best to fix it, but the next morning the signal was gone again. This was not too much of an issue for me, as I was out for most of the day and evening.

Service staff were very kind and helpful I have a 3yr old and a 5 month old and service staff were so kind to offer to carry the 5 month old around till my wife finished breakfast. Morning they called at room everyday to remind for breakfast. The buggy man taking us to beach, security guards were all kind and excellent.

Nothing!

Excellent

Nothing

Exceptional Hospitality from every staff personnel, though size of the resort wasn't. Breakfast was really excellent, compared to other resorts in the neighborhood. The restaurant for dining is super clean and as said wonderful staff in there too. Overall, we liked it too much.

Location

Food quality and variety in the restaurant needs improvement. Each bottle of Kinley water bottle costing MRP Rs20 was charged Rs92.26, which is highly improper.

Service with a smile always.

Location to town.

It was well-designed to begin with. Pretty too. The beach being near by was definitely a plus point too. Your staff spoke very well too ! Food was good.

Nothing really !

Everything was perfect, and super clean. We used the swimming pool, so relaxing. We had breakfast and lunch, the food is so good. The staff is kind, gentle and available.

Don't hesitate; go ahead and book. I shall go back to the same establishment again.

Nothing in particular

Nice pool, very good breakfast with plenty of variety. Staff was excellent!!

Would need a slight refurbishment.

The staff was very good and professional and went beyond their duty to ensure we were comfortable.

The place is NOT beach front. It is 200 mtrs away with no direct access or view from the rooms. The photos and description are misleading. The rooms are old, the wall paper is peeling in places. The cost of the food is very high but the taste is horrible. Not worth it for the amount of money they charge.

The property had a very big pool with the beach very nearby with a private entrance and lots of indoor games with a volleyball court and table tennis. The breakfast buffet and the high tea was good. Buggy service to the beach.

The rooms are a bit outdated.

Spacious room and cleanliness.food is excellent

Nothing I noticed.

The room size, facility, staff service, especially break fast service.

Travelled with my kid. When she wanted to chill out in the swimming pool, normal dresses were not allowed for swimming which we were unaware in ad vance. Suggest you inform your Bookings in advance or can provide such suits according to size for sale.

Great service

Cleanliness,food,hospitality

Price

Breakfast was good and the staff at the restaurant were great.

Rooms they offered was expensive, it could have been maintained well. No direct beach access, They said the lawn was reserved for private party on that day. Even to reach there we have to take shuttle to reach and totally disappointed with that. Photos were misleading. Room flooring was not neat, kind of outdated and it was torn, but the staff was able to assist providing the alternate room.. Pool had lot of bugs and kids scared to enter the pool, so we need to ask the staff clean them but they could not clean it completely.
