Not worth the price
This place is great and the beach is just behind the property. Few areas were non-operational still the charges were quite high. Television never worked properly. They tried a few things but was of no help.

Property looks too old maintenance is important. Doors were jammed. I booked Pool view room but glasses were too dirty through which the view was useless. Furniture was full of dust. Food was not good. Very late service in restaurant. Menu was too small from which you need to order something whether it fits in your choice or not. I wasted money of my 2 days food. We didn't liked a single dish. Only breakfast was good rest all was waste of money.

Worst Experience Ever.
The experience was totally terrible as the front desk dont know guest service, specially KASHINATH at front desk have to be trained to talk to guests. I was charged extra for my stay even though confirming before that i wont be charged.Even Abhilash & Ajay , both from hotels.com, confirmed that i wont be charged extra. All in all one of the worst experience ever due to pathetic service from individuals.

Okay, I booked two rooms for two nights and this is my good,bad and ugly. Good: Breakfast, Massages, Rec Room, Swimming Pool, Friendly Staff Bad: Rooms require upgrade, Not easy to get Cab/Ride Share (Ola/Uber), Doesn't have good restaurants close by UGLY: Horrible smell of fish. The local fisherman dry their dead fish outside the property. The smell is terrible and ruins this beautiful resort. Its so sad that local government doesn't do anything about this. I have also seen tons of crows at the pool and the reason they are there is to eat the dead fish. Sometimes they also drop dead fish in the pool...disgusting. If you can't stand the bad smell, stay away from this place.

I visited this hotel last 15 years back and had that image in mind but was surprised this visit, the property is not that well maintained like how it was and the staff is not that friendly, smiles are a scarcity here. They are cutting costs by not providing basic toiletries and charging for the same.

Hi, I stay in Mumbai. Just wanted a break from routine so I booked this place for a night. So it's me, my wife and my daughter. Easy to reach since I am a local. Good part - This property is nice. Room was spacious, spacious bathroom, decent toiletries, beautiful swimming pool with kid section, jacuzzi by the pool (my daughter enjoyed it the most) and club room for kids and adults. The not so good part - FOOD. Over priced. For e.g. the buffet had so ltd options and priced 1000 +. The buffet breakfast was disappointing with very ltd options again. The oriental bowl restaurant manager was a little rude and didn't accommodate serving drinks by the pool. In short this place is good but for food u need to explore something out also maybe or just ignore and enjoy staying in the property. Regards RS

My stay was spendid. Just like the Hotel. The swimming pool was as long and swirling like the snake. Water fall, jaccuzi all in one. The beach was sad and dirty. Unfortunately it was a low tide and the water had receded far in. The hotel room was nice neat and clean. The food was great too. Breakfast was good too.

Experience at the Retreat
The confirmation email received from Hotels.com was not clear about two aspects: whether breakfast is included and whether free wifi is included. I became aware that these were not included in the price after I checked in, and it caused a lot of embarrasment to me because I had taken it up with the hotel. Also, nowhere in the confirmation email was it mentioned that the price I was to pay did not include taxes. This was also a cause of dissatisfaction.

Lovely place for a holiday
The rooms were excellent, food was very good and service was always with a smile! All the facilities in the hotel were excellent too. I would have been happy if the beach adjoining the hotel was clean. A little disappointed that WiFI was on a chargeable basis unlike other places that I have been to. Especially, in an area where cell connectivity for data was very poor.

A Hell near to Beach.
I never blame the hotel for such pathetic condition. I blame, you Expedia, for selling such hotels. You are showing the photos of the hotels, at the time of their inauguration. Please don't repeat such mistakes. I am a regular traveler. So I have to rethink to book a hotel room through Expedia.

Fairly good experience at The Retreat
We were given a room on the 2nd floor but the room smelt very musty and damp.The bathroom had paan stains and the bathroom fitting are really very old, probably due to the saline air. We asked the front desk change our room which they did after much consideration and were given a room on the 3rd floor which was better than the previous one. The swimming pool is very cold but it has a natural feel to it as there are many white birds ..cranes which sit near the waterfall. the bar by the pool is nice but no hard drinks (could consider atleast rum or brandy to keep us warm while in the cold pool), only beers, and breezers. The hotel has good lawns and play areas, personally we dint prefer the loud blaring music played sometimes especially in the club house. There is a constant smell of dry fish which isnt too pleasing to most people but its ok as it is local and organic, not some chemical smell. one can learn how local fisherfolk make dry fish. The pool is very cold as we went in at around 5pm thinking the water would have warmed up during the hot sun in the afternoon. The breakfast was very nice as it spanned continental with all cold cuts etc, south indian, north indian and local. The staff is friendly and helpful. We dint have lunch as the breakfast was very filling and we would go out closeby towards aksa beach for dinner .. something to do rather than being couped up in the hotel premises. All in all a good stay but certain boarding issues need to be changed for a good stay.
