I went there in the last week of March. We were just two girls, the place was lovely. We had a little problem checking in initially coz the guests who were staying in our room checked out around noon and the hotel guys took 2 hours to clean the room. But when i went to their private beach...all my tensions... More

I stayed here for a corporate training event. I was allotted room No.17 which had very bad odour (fungus smell). Water had very strong smel of Iron. Despite complaining 3 times, there was no response. Finally I could speak to a sensible Manager who got the room changed. It lacks maintenance as I can see broken bulbs inside the rooms... More

Ideal Beach Resort is a perfect combination of beach, beer and ball! We live in Chennai, so we have never stayed at the resort, but have made innumerable day trips with family and friends. Just choose your spot under a coconut tree and spend an entire day swimming in the sea, ordering food and drinks on the beach or lying... More

My partner and I have stayed at the Ideal Beach Resort several times and always find the rooms very clean and comfortable. The ground are magnificent and the pool gardens are fabulous. Although the restaurant and bar tariffs are more than in Mamallapuram, the Ideal is well worth a visit, if only for one night, but be warned, you won't... More

The Ideal Beach Resort in set oof the main road from Chennai just outside Mamallapuram. It was about an hour’s drive from Chennai Airport in the middle of the night. It would take considerably longer during the day. Ours was a ground floor Sea facing deluxe room. This was a fairly large standard room with his and her ¾ beds... More

Great location, Pleasant staff, good ambience. Pool as well as the private beach are the best that I have seen. Food could have been better especially for vegetarians. The private beach could be more engaging with some water sports, adventure sports etc like one sees in Goa. Rooms could be cleaner. TV sets could be more contemporary.

Stayed in an ocean view room which was spacious and had a verandah overlooking the sea.The grounds were well tended and very shady with direct access to the beach,but the sea looked very rough.The meals were buffet style and had a interesting variety and the staff were very helpful.Good gift shop at reasonable prices
