This is always be one of my best stays! You can’t define their hospitality in words. Their one and only priority is their customers’ comfort and happiness, which is rare in many top graded hotels/resorts.

Great place, cleanest place I have found in India, but too far from other sites of interest. Only think there should be a two tier breakfast option, that is Continental and Full. As I’m not a big eater I found myself paying for a full breakfast when only having a bowl of cereal and a coffee!!! But others great place to stay.

We had an amazing two nights at Kaldan Samudhra! Amazing property, with excellent service. Santu in the restaurant took amazing care of us. But all the staff was very friendly and attentive. One of them even noticed that my son was reading a book and brought him a bookmark. The food was very good and the pool and amenities (gym, rec room) were fantastic as well. We will certainly plan a trip back here!

Right from check in, all the way until we left, we were really taken good care of. Staff was extremely friendly, professional and always treated with a smile. Dinner at Dhani was excellent and the breakfast was outstanding, the best we have ever had. The performance by the Rajasthani troupe was amazing and set the tone for the evening. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience!! Could give 10 stars if option available.

Excellent hotel, very friendly staff, lots of complementary drinks and food (high tea/mini bar), pool is excellent and very clean. Excellent air con, rooms are massive and kept very clean. Food very good and good variety, nice mocktails. Would highly recommend, best 5 star hotel I have stayed at so far. Only very small comment would be that service for food was a little slow at lunch time and the bar seems a bit of a waste of space - I never saw anyone in it, we would have gone in to sit and play cards or something in the evening but we were not allowed as we had a baby. If they made it a seating place for all, I think it would be used more.

4/10 Fair

Way over the top.

The place has excellent service. Nice people around. Other than that, I would go for better properties around the area. We stayed in a suite. The decor is extravagant and not well planned. The pool is right outside the rooms which takes away the privacy and you need to don the curtain when inside. That does not take away the noise and chatter of the outside. The food was more North Indian than local. The flavours were nice but the bread not fresh. I would not go back again.

8/10 Very good

The staff and service were wonderful here. The food was enjoyable and the rooms were clean and spacious and beds super-comfortable. Shout-out to several staff members, including Nithin, Rajesh, Tina, Ruby, Vaidegi, Duraiswamy, Bidyut, Buddhadev, Priti, Chef Ahmad, among others. We traveled with my elderly mother-in-law and found some basic things hard to navigate, accessibility-wise. There were stairs and ramps in several places including towards the pool, to get to the rooms, and to go to the beach. These did not have any railings or support for people who might need it--elderly, very young, pregnant women, disabled people, or people who might have injuries. The ramps were not easy to climb up and the 'ramp' from the pathway to the beach to the main hotel area was long, roundabout and the same route for cars and lorries, which is dangerous. In the rooms, the towel racks and hooks were too high to reach for an average Indian height (not sure who these were designed for) and the clothing line over the tub was also hard to reach with plenty of danger to the guest who would try. It's too bad that so much money was spent on the look and little note given to the actual usability. Finally, we arrived at the end of a conference and left as preparations for 2 weddings. This meant that the pathway to the beach was dirty and unattractive as teardown and setup were happening. This definitely detracted from the experience.

I had an incredible experience at Kaldan Samudhra! My cousin and his wife highly recommended KS, and I’m so grateful that they pointed me in the right direction. Everything was 100% on point: ambiance, amenities, food, location, service, and staff. If I didn’t have to fly back to the U.S., I would have extended my stay, but I’ll definitely be coming back here. Thank you Kaldan Samudhra for a blissful and amazing stay.
