Marvel at ancient stone carvings like Arjuna's Penance and the Shore Temple while exploring this UNESCO-listed coastal town. Spend afternoons wandering between Krishna's Butter Ball, a precariously balanced boulder, and the magnificent Pancha Pandava Rathas carved from single rocks.

Grounds are phenominal. I can honestly say that this hotel is over-staffed waiting to serve you immediately. I think employees outnumber guests. Never seen that before. You call and they show up instantly. Very responsive. Three restaurants with one right on the beach. Food is excellent but extremely expensive. Expect to pay more for food then for your room. The rooms are tired and need updating. The pillows are rock solid hard, just horrible. Bring your own pillows. If you ask hotel to call you...

We had a very nice stay at Hotel Montecarlo. The manager, Vishnu, made sure that we had everything we needed. We were upgraded to the presidential suite, which was very spacious. A large sitting room contained a couch and two love seats and a tv and refrigerator. The bedroom also included a tv and small table with two chairs. The bathroom was spacious with both a shower and tub. The pool was very nice in the garden outside. We were taken care of at this hotel and would happily return.

We arrived around 2am, but were greeted at the gate- quite a welcome sight. Staff was helpful and courteous. I enjoyed the layout of the facility- our room was on the third floor with a shared open deck. The room is small/cozy, but it and furnishings had a pleasant quality to them. Some mosquitoes made their way into the room, maybe through the bathroom fan, but this was a common occurrence in our travels. Its a small town, so Ramakrishna is close to everything. I would stay here again.
