Rooms are renovated but the rest are needing attention. It would have been good if there was air conditioning. The fan provided was chalk full of dust and ineffective at all. It just moved the hot air around.
Kitchen isn't "complete". Soap dispenser at the sink is just hanging there.
Feels a little like camping but you had a bed and shower.
View was beautiful though.

Rustic

Very nice place with a direct Access to the Beach.

Place is very suite.

Food is very excellent : restaurant takes Time to prépare the dîner for you.

Staff takes Care for you.

House keeping is correct.

My experience : good expérience to work from this resort during the week (work from home).

Quick Access to the Mahalabipuram.

Follow what you feel !

I was disappointed with the condition of the property.  It seemed quite run down. There was no WiFi access in the bedrooms,  only the reception.  Position next to the sea was excellent.

Property seems to be very old and rooms had smell problem. The garden view rooms are facing each other and you can see group of people partying in front of the room/walkway. Our room was facing the parking area. The area was not maintained very well. You can see pile of garbage near rooms. The area near the entry gate seems to be for garbage and it stinks. The breakfast was okay but other time food service was horrible. The beach is the best part of the stay as you have access to the beach from property. You can only stand near the water and wait for waves to come, but you can enjoy the view. Overall not worth the price. It is a good location but bad service and rooms condition.

Beach is the only good part.

We booked for a premium sea front room. When we checked in, they put in a regular room with no windows. When we asked why, the hotel staff said all rooms are like that. Later we found the blankets were torn, stains on pillow cases, room dirty, and stains on toilet seat. When we argued with the hotel staff that this is not the room we paid for and asked to change the room, and after lots of back and forth, they switched to a true premium sea front room. That room also had issues with stains on pillow cases, torn blankets, and room dirty. The hotel staff could   take care of all these when we paid tips. Only positive thing in our stay is excellent food and a great location with direct access to beach, This place has excellent potential to become a prime hotel if the cleanliness can be taken care of. I took pictures as a proof of my comments if someone wants to see.

Located at Mahabalipuram, a good long drive to reach the resort. But so many disadvantages of booking rooms here, here is a glance. 

Pros: 

Location, sea and pool view rooms. Thats all...

Cons:

Rooms pretty old and not maintained well at all. Patchy paint and distemper has come off at many places in the room.

Not spacious for 3 people. Once the extra bed was put, barely able to walk.

Extra bed was provided but were told no pillows , there are 4 pillows on the bed, adjust in that. They are soft pillows, one person needs 2. The north indian guy who got the bed was very rude.

Toilet gun was on the left hand side, I do not know how one is supposed to use it to wash.

Toilet seat very small, very uncomfortable to sit on it.

Mould in a lot of places. 

No hot water from both pipes.

2 mini soaps and 1 small shampoo was not sufficient for 3 ppl. 

Other 7K rupee rooms provide tooth brush, tooth paste, dental kit, and a comb.

Room service was pretty bad - 
we asked for ice - they said its 100 Rs, but came 15 mins after the call.
we said the resort has power, only our room there is no electricity - they did not bother for 30 mins, after our second call, it was back on in another 10 mins. It it chennai, not kodaikanal to manage without fan or AC. God.
we asked for towels - came after 45 mins.

Table Tennis table was partially broken, net was disoriented, no TT ball. 

Since resort has around 70 rooms, one or the other major gang takes up the volleyball, badminton and cricket apparatus so we are just left with nothing. 

Pool is quite small more than 1 large gang and it gets really crowded inside, need to wait for long duration so that its almost less crowded.

Beach was almost accessible always, however, the resort had taken money for a couple photoshoot, so beach was off limits after 6:30 pm so that we wont interrupt their shoot.

On weekends, pretty much 90% of the rooms get booked, so be prepared to see a lot of people despite getting away from the city crowd.

No indication/information regarding what are all included as complimentary breakfast - ex. dosas and ommelettes. 
We only knew after a couple ordered it and were told its free of cost. 

Food was not great but not bad too. 

Lizards inside and outside the room, no repellants kept.

No comfortable chairs in the room to sit, i sat in a wooden back chair and got back pain.

Choose some other resort in this price range

The resort has good amenities like swimming pool, direct access to beach, etc. The staff takes good care of the facilities.
