Esthell Village Resort

Excellent place to relax

Rajesh Ravindran

Have stayed in Esthell several times over the last few years. It is a good place to have a relaxing time provided sightseeing is not your main intent. Has a large campus, an excellent pool (one for kids also), and a place for indoor and outdoor games. The pool can be a bit crowded during daytime due to corporate events which seem to be becoming more frequent. Food is good if you order local recipes like fish curry. On the negative side, lately they have increased the prices for the rooms by about 50% which with the inclusion of tax can set you back by around Rs. 6500 per day. Also, food prices have been increased by about Rs. 50 to Rs. 75 % such that a meal for 3 will cost more than a Rs. 1000. There is no option for food from any nearby place. As of now, I would say that the place is a bit overpriced.

Good location and activities

Nithin Mohan

Location was good. Away from the city. Very calm and peaceful. There were activities there but we never tried it out as we didn't have time for that. The service was good. So were the front office people. The complimentary breakfast could have been much better. But we had dinner there and the fried rice was very good. The room we got had a leak in the AC. So water kept dripping onto the bed after some time. Though we complained and the housekeeping did have a look, the issue was still there. Otherwise we had a good stay and we were thinking we should come here as a bigger group and take part in the activities.

Superb place to stay ..

Plus: Facilities like swimming pool, indoor games, hospitality, battery operated cars to commute, privacy, swimming pool has slides and swing which children will enjoy Food is excellent Games like zorbing, paint ball, cycling Friendly staff Mango trees everywhere .. Well maintained lawn Gives us a feel as though we are staying in a village with all facilities of a city .. Minus: It is not a beach side property Located in a remote place and is 16 km from mahapalipuram junction. If you are a privacy lover .. Then this is the place ... I would strongly recommend this place for family visits

Big clean pool, kids pool and slides were great

arun vaikuntavasan

Environment, room and staffed are very good. Big pool, especially for kids the kids pool and slides were great. Food also good. Cons: 1. Restaurant service and capacity need to be improve. At 1. 35 pm it's self no service at restaurant (booked for outspokenly at room service. (They promised 20 minutes but they delivered at 2. 55pm, my daughter went sleep) Other than restaurant communication everything went super. 2. For all activities (except pool)they will charge including cycle, theatre, adventure ground ( ).

Excellent getaway for Chennaites

Mohd Shahid

The resort is self contained with lots of amenities for an entire family. Full of lush green coconut and mango orchards, has nice pool, large ground and other indoor games. Very tasty breakup with known south Indian and North Indian options. What stands out is the attitude of the front desk and room service guys. Polite and willing to help. Ideal for team building events. Only minus point is the location is quite far from Mahabalipuram (. So they should not advertise as a Mahabalipuram resort.

Lackadaisical stay at Esthell Village Resorts

Viswanathan Rk

This is a Nice resort spread over a super vast land and hosts a lot of activities for the residents including Zorbing, Paintball and other adventure sporting. We spent 3 nights here and felt it was not enough to cover all activities. You will have solo much fun. Areas of improvement are to maintain the changing rooms in swimming pool cleaner and to source up the staying rooms a little more since the wall papers were torn in some places ...

A good one

Bhabani

I visited with friends. Location is little inside but calm and beautiful. As we booked through MMT, and their check-in is at 12, we had to wait almost 90min. Which was a bad experience though we noticed rooms were available. But they allowed us to access play area during that time. I enjoyed cycling after a long time. Pool is big and staff were nice to listen our requests. They have a lot of facilities to keep you engaged entire day.

Awesome stay

Kanika

First of all I would like to thank all staff members of resort for making our anniversary so memorable. Restaurant is too good with very tasty food. Facilities are very good. Very clean resort. Mind blowing activities to get indulge in. My 2 year kid also enjoyed a lot in kids pool with pool swings. Thankyou very much esthell resort for giving us beautiful memories. I would really like to visit this resort again and again

The games we played and the Swimming pool.

Bessie Peter

We stayed in deluxe room and the room was very good. Mr. Nidharshan who is in charge of House keeping did a very good job and he was very polite with everyone and took care of all the needs Swimming pool for children is very good. Bullock cart ride was good. Cycling we enjoyed. Manager Mr. Baskar was very helpful and good. It is worth to stay. It is a good experience.

Go for an experience!

Prashanth Achar

Service with a smile- I guess the team here has mastered it ... Front desk, house keeping and restaurant included !! Breakfast is awesome though can't understand why fruits aren't a part of it ... Standard room has a vague matchbox design with very small windows! You wouldn't mind any lapse as you would be amidst greenery in a village like atmosphere !!

Awesome and relaxing stay

Tarun Goel

Awesome relaxing stay at the resort. It has everything you want. Indoor games, long and very clean swimming pool, cycling, billiards etc. You don't have to go anywhere else, just stay here and enjoy the resort itself. Food is too good with amazing services and reasonable rates. It's surely a must visit resort in silent place like Mahabalipuram.

Good rooms and nice ambience

Ashok Mandava

Ver good room. Environment is superb. Very good place to relax and enjoy. Cleanliness is good. Restaurant is clean and taste is good. I enjoyed thoroughly in this Esthell Village Resort.

A cool and relaxed stay away from busy city life

Lalitha Mnair

Good place to stay relaxed. Internet facility not so good. Other facilities are good. Cycles kept for riding are very poorly maintained. Swimming pool is good and well maintained. Staff behaviour also up to the mark. We went in full rainy season, so outside area of cottage was slightly watery.

Good resort for staying family

KALAI SP

Good resort for staying family and corporate outing. I am staying this resort frequently because of the atmosphere. Swimming pool was awesome and food was very good, especially morning breakfast. Food and starters quantity and quality was good. Cycling for kids and family relaxations.

The resort is apt for those who want to just relax and come out of daily chaos... A perfect trip with family and friendly services of house keeping was icing on the cake... The resort is surrounded by splendid greenery..

Lot of activities

Mohit Marlecha

The place is nice has a lot of activities like play ground, net cricket, cycling, paint ball .. All this keeps you occupied for the full day. The resort is huge .. The only draw back is that it's a little far away from main ecr ..

Awesome

Ramesh

It was a good place for weekend. Overall it was a awesome experience. We have a lot for kids to enjoy

Nice place for Corporate Events etc

Ravi Kumar

The property is well designed and offers good picturesque views. However, for small nuclear families wanting to spend couple of days at the resort, there is nothing much to spend their time on as most of the leisure activities focuses on group events etc.

Games

Andrews

It was awesome experience in Esthelle ... Nice arrangement and gaming facilities are wonderful .. Swimming pool is good .. If they keep it clean it will be good ... Food was good ... But little costly ... Children play area in pool was super.

Ambience

Kalai Lingam

Rooms are good. Staff is very helpful. One of the best swimming pool in Ecr. Kids pool needs more maintenance. Food is not that superb. Lot of space for a walk. You can get cycle for a ride inside the resort. All over very nice

Good stay but bad food

Ramya Prabhu Shankar

Located at a distant from the city away from the noise and sound. Good staff, house keeping. But the food was really bad, if you are lover for tasty foods then this is not place for you. The swimming pool is really big, and they have a separate kids pool with lots of fun.
