Sholinganallur Vacations from $1,787

The location was very convenient. Excellent hotel but I paid the price for amenities like the pool and the gym. we couldn't use the pool as it was under long term repairs and the gym felt a little congested. But for someone who is not looking for extra facilities I would highly recommend this hotel.

Rooms were clean, but bedsheet and pillows were not maintained well. Staff were courtesies, especially Sreekunar was very friendly. Breakfast spread was limited, and I must rate below average. Preferable for business stay as closer to Trade centre. Overall below average.

The room was so humid that the floor was all wet by morning. I informed staff multiple times but they just asked to keep AC on all night. But it was on all the time. It was not addressed and I nearly slipped twice. The mirror light wasn’t working and wasn’t fixed for 5 days straight. Property has a private beach which is cleaned & maintained regularly - it was a bliss walking on the shore every evening away from the main city. The staff at seagull is very friendly, esp Siva who went out of his way to arrange a birthday cake for my mom without even asking. Pool was temporarily closed. Staff at the reception were always smiling & helpful, shoutout to Sefora. I felt breakfast was always at par but the lunch/dinner was just okay. Repeated options and sweets weren’t tasteful. The property is about 90 mins away from MAA airport. Hotel arranged 2 day trips for us with Tata Harrier - Pondicherry for ₹16K and Kanchipuram for ₹10K. First trip to Pondicherry was really awful and I regret going there. The driver refused to talk in English (despite being told to us that drivers are very friendly and can communicate in English/Hindi). The 1st day felt wasted and he was just driving in agony & frustration like he’s being forced to do it. However, 2nd day to Kanchipuram was excellent and the driver even took us to hidden spots/gems that were not even in the list. Overall the stay was just okay. A lot could’ve been improved and actioned on esp when I’m spending over ₹1.5L on the stay.

Wonderful experience
