Worst experience. Customer service no longer means anything to them. Even after cancelling lunch and Informing the same well in the morning we were still charged with lame reason saying the raw materials were purchased for cooking (wareva)
It was a very good experience. Too.s were normal, swimming pool was just 4 feet so kids enjoyed without floaters or support. Chef nailed it, veg only food was excellent. You can pay extra and get paint ball, ATV, archery,small zipline, adventure for kids, resort has lots of place to roam around. Staffs were very courteous, great hospitality. Few flaws we did not mind due to all of the above.. good his team Village Retreat, looking for our next visit!!!
Visited first time great in service and lovely food
Good food, not so good resort for leisure or relaxation.
The place was very good and it'll suit ppl who loves privacy and want to distance their mind from the noisy world..The Best part of this resort is the pool which can be entered from the balcony of each of the rooms and it is well maintained.The service here was admirable and if you have a bunch of friends with whom you wanna share a good weekend,this place will do it for you.
A good hideout. A best place for day outing chennaities & Pondicherians.
Amazing place with yummy veg food. The rooms were clean n tidy. The best part is that we can enter the pool directly from our room. Over all a pleasant experience.
Lovely place for an outing with friends . . Only draw back it's Veg . . Rest the property is amazing .
Lovely stay at village retreat. They have pool connected to all the rooms. They provide only veg food items and no alcohol which is very much appreciative one.Pool is only 3 or 3.5 ft so even 8 years old kid can swim safely. Water is maintained well. They have huge play area. Suitable for families and even office get to togethers.
The place was good, rooms and swimming pool access from each room was really nice and we all enjoyed a lot. Food was tasty and nice (only veg is served). Staff behavior and service was very good.
Outdoor games was not available, if included tht would have been great.
They take in groups for which neither the place not the staff is potent to handle. They had taken up nearly 200 pax and the restaurant capacity is of max 30. Not worth for the money they charge
They ll collect tax from u....but provide u bill which has no gst number..... decent rooms & gud food
We were a group of 15 people visiting this resort for a weekend. The rooms were very clean and well decorated.
The staff was very considerate and looked into all our requests.Excellent lunch buffet with lot of veg items. Swimming pool was awesome with sufficient
depth and length. One of the best resorts in ECR.
One of the good place for rest and away from ur stressful work
Food was excellent, rooms were really good and good ambience. Overall was really satisfied
We had a good time here and it a really good place to have fun with friends or family and the place is fully surrounded with trees and grass which makes our trip a perfect one and the swimming pool is soo good and the people are always there to help and the place is so clean and tidy. Extremely a great time spent here.
Clean and well-maintained resorts in ecr. There are so many amenities. Very courteous staff. Good breakfast spread. Perfect location. Very clean and huge swimming pools that kids enjoyed. Many activities for kids to keep engaged.
Good place for Pure Vegetarians, they have direct entry to the pool from the privacy of your rooms which is very unique and I loved the concept....if you guys get other menu and beverages it will rock on ecr road
I had a memorable day in the village retreat resort...My stay was good we loved a lot .......... . Swimming pool is neat and maintained clean ........Food was good and tasty ......staffs are friendly ....... I wish to come to village retreat l once again in future .................. Rooms also good , the property looks big overall it was good stay
Nice location ,
Nice food ,
Little costly ,
Big & long swimming pool for all rooms. Each room backside door open with swimming pool. Games are also Good. Cricket playing ground also big but in night lights are not playble. Not so much lights so facing problem for playing cricket.
Only disappointment is pool water wasn't clean otherwise it 5 star
Fabulous Day outing in village retreat :
Every time when we are in Tamil Nadu over the last 3 years we try to stay a few days in Village retreat.We enjoyed sitting by the pool after a quick dip, and it was also a nice place to have lunch Every time we enjoyed it very much.A perfected management.
Very nice place to stay with family and good food
Nice place for weekend. We went for 1 day outing. Pure Vegetarian and No Alcohol & no wonder it had mostly family crowd during weekend. Has limited indoor and outdoor games. Proper maintenance can give more options in outdoor games. Swimming pool is clean. Villas are good but better recommended for groups. Nice place.
A two night stay began with a warm welcome. Were escorted to the room which was ready on arrival.
Rooms in the Hotel surround the water bodies and the swimming pool. Good swimming pool. Nice large rooms. Very spacious. Food is good. Good service from staff. Enjoyed the holiday
Very good food and stay. Food is all vegetarian affair
A good place to stay
I traveled to Chennai more times and I consider this Resort as one of the best. The staff is very friendly like my family and a great experience. Best clean swimming pool. Also, food is of very high quality and tasty. The team helped me to choose my food. Overall great support.
Resorts in Mahabalipuram.
Pros
1. Food was superb. No doubt. Even Jain is available.
2. Staff were friendly
Cons
1. AC in rooms n other areas needs proper maintenance
2. Indoor and Outdoor games not satisfied. All the equipment looks so old , TT bat looks half eaten
Service was impressive throughout the entire stay once we got to the Resort. I would stay here again.
Amazing place for a holiday with family and friends. marvelous food. wide property and good service. Manager was very cooperative and helpful. overall amazing experience. will definitely visit again.
Been here with my colleagues for a week end. Pure veg. That's bad but taste was wonderful. The concept of entering swimming pool directly from bedroom was soo cool.. Swimming pool rocked
Quite mediocre place and overpriced. The food is pure veg and not tasty. The only attraction is the pool which opens up from the room. But overall really not worth the price.
Very good veg food calm but distance from main road
We went as one big team and faced one of the worst incident ,
We cancelled the lunch by informing to them very advanced in early hours of morning but still we ended up paying for lunch. Because they justified it by saying vegetables and cooking stuff has been already ordered for our team 2 days before we came to resort .
Good place to stay with friends, had a memorable day good service. Food is good huge swimming pool had lots of games to play. Really had good experiance with friends sure will plan another soon for a memorable day forever..
Nice place to relax yourself and settled outside of Mahabalipuram (near Kalpakkam). You can play games(cricket, football or which game you want), lot of other games also there. You can have lot of fun. If you are a group of 20 or 30 surely you can have fun. Nice swimming pool and rooms as well. Food is also good. To spend a day, it will be okay.
Perfect place for a weekend getaway.. Each room is connected with a pool.... Infact just saw movie called " Nota" this same resort is used for shooting... Food is good too. Adventure sports like squad biking, archery, bull riding, obstacle race.... Service is also good. Do visit
Lovely place, quiet ambiance, very clean swimming pool, lot of fun game spaces available, safe & ideal for family & kids.
Play rooms are good but sweats a lot as AC didnt work in the table tennis play roomwhen we visited, friendly staffs, veg. food only but tasty with a variety menu
The only issue is room becomes fully wet as all the rooms are connected directly to the pool. If they are able to supply atleast 3 floor towels for each room then my first choice will be this one, among all resorts near chennai.
Very much interior, last few miles are pathetic , average resort , food seems to be ok , maintenance and facilities very average for the price , plus is the swimming pool access right at your room step and lavish greenery and outdoor play area right at the entrance
Swimming pool is only for kids, Nothing for elders to enjoy... And tea coffee is bit costly... Good and resort are good and we'll maintained
Swimming pool set up is cool but thr activities are pethatic they have a toy tt board and carom board not a real one.
Great place for family/friends get together. Only vegetarian food available and that helped a great deal. Good service and lots of options for play, weather permitting..
Wonderful place to be and nice hospitality , inwas there with a group of 25 people and were taken care of nicely
This resort is just at perfect place. Peaceful, neat & beautiful. They have private swimming pool which is so clean.
Food and hospitality was also good it is a good veg restaurant on ECR. Will recommend this place to everyone.
It s really worth for the price we pay for the rooms. Thank you for a memorable day
Resort is good . Little expensive compared. One good thing is it offers vegetarian food only and you have jain option.
Had great time with family and friends!! Awesome food, swimming pool is wonderful... Must visit family resort
A resort with large swimming pool n to top it all it was a 100 % veg food.
First time to this place..had a great time here..very good hospitality and the good was also good...accomodation was superb...
Rooms not very clean. Some bad odour around the resort. Swimming pool is the highlight which goes around all the rooms
Good place. Good food and stay options. Challenging to locate after dusk.
Nice place to enjoy with children, friends and relatives ... Food is very tasty and delicious... U can't find time to see all the available games and events
One of the worst resorts in chennai to ruin your time, money and weekend enjoyment. Worst service -
People here will loot your money by showing some eagle eyed photographs in the google and when it comes to the reality they are not even ready to provide you fresh towels and other amenities.
Worst Quality of pool connected rooms - They will surprise you with some very worst quality of rooms, some are very basic, some are under construction and some will even have the strong stint of paints and which will make you suffocate in minutes of staying inside.
Villas - The villa we have got are worst to the core. No proper locks to the bathroom, no proper maintenance of interiors, everything is worst in this resort.
All these partialities are because if you are a make my trip customer and claiming discount.
Soon will try to add some pics.
Good place for team outing. But only veg. Pool could have made more cleaner
Nice secluded place, far from the bustle of the city. Food is good too, a bit pricey, though.
Nice place to chill out with friends, but need more games to engage.
Good place for retreat. Pure veg food. Games to play. It's under renovation in some areas
It is amazing resort...the idea of pool attached to the room is really good...even the offered great taste...the activities are greattt...just loved the resort
Not a great experience. Very primitive and not even worth of spending money they charge. WiFi works only near by the front desk it never works in rooms. Except swimming pool nothing else is good. They serv veg only and we cancelled our food order for lunch but they still demanded paying full. They not even cooked or even prepared hotwater but they demanded money because they got raw materials a week ahead. (such a lame excuse to extort money). They should have built a temple or ashram instead of building so called resort. Pushing their religious ideology into guest makes awkward experience. One of the worst stay experience. Trust me it is not worth it. God know how these guys have 4star rating in Google maps. Most likely paid review to lure people into their resort. If you only want to have good swimming pool then you can burn your hard earned money here .
Nice and calm location... swimming pool access to every room was a novel idea and very good. They could add some kind of protection like more mats in rooms to avoid it from getting wet
If you can create a kids pool it would be even better
The veg only restaurant was awesome and the food was very good.they were also catering to special diet needs like jain food, which was good
The activities were also good.
2 things that can be bettered
1. The access road was not good, may be they should approach the local government to better it
2. As it's a village area, lot of frogs, even some jumping into the pools rarely.... may be some protection from that happening.
Fantabulous stay and excellent property, would recommend this to my family members and superb hospitality shown towards us. The Swimming pool is spectacular! I recommend this place
Excellent place to chill out in leisure. Food in restaurant tastes great.
Nice Place. Relax . Rejuvenate. Most Important , delicious food.
Good place for couple as well as family.. lots of enjoy with kids here.. pure veg restorent is big plus point..also available jain food.. rooms connected with swimming pool.. staff behavior is friendly.. I give 5 star
The place is Very Quiet and well maintained. The staff are really super cool personality and their service are awesome. The top notch point was, Swimming pool. Neat and clean pool. Top recommended village resort in ECR, Chennai. 100% fun guaranteed
Loved this place with family and kids even though am non vegetarian ....I loved the pure vegetarian food taste of resort for break fast , lunch and dinner ....
Kids pool is missing .....
Had first visit with family to get relaxed and chilled..but was really disappointed with the food menu ,the same food was served both the times for lunch and dinner,,no swimming as per the pandemic going on..no activities ..wholly I would rate oy 1star out of5
