Denissons Beach Resort (Formerly Gamyam Retreat)

We had booked a Superior Premium Room at Gamyam Retreat and, on first impression, the property did look quite premium. The room was spacious, well set up, and even came with a jacuzzi, which was a nice touch. However, our experience took a turn on the very first night. Just before going to bed, we noticed a cockroach near the basin. On closer look, it was dead, but the very fact that there was one in the room especially after paying for a premium category was disappointing. At a place that markets itself as a high end retreat, basic cleanliness and pest control should be non-negotiable. The next morning, while checking out, I mentioned this to the staff who came to escort us to the reception. He said he would inform the manager. At the reception, I raised it again, and the response I received was: “You could have told us yesterday night and we would have sent housekeeping.” While that might be true, it misses the bigger point, guests shouldn’t have to encounter cockroaches in a premium property in the first place. To add to that, the checkout felt rather transactional. I was simply handed the dinner bill, paid it, the car was brought around, and we were asked to leave. No apology, no gesture of concern, no attempt to make up for the experience. Overall, while the property itself has potential and the facilities are well thought out, the service and attention to detail fell short of what one would expect from a retreat that charges a premium. A little more care in cleanliness and guest handling would have gone a long way in making this a memorable stay for the right reasons.

Very good experience and neat rooms. The food was good as well and the service staff were exceptional

I recently stayed at Gamyam Retreat, Kumta with my family for 3 nights, and it turned out to be a truly memorable experience. The resort is beautifully designed, surrounded by lush greenery, and very well maintained. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere made us feel relaxed and connected to nature. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. The interiors are tastefully done and perfect for families who want a mix of comfort and luxury. One of the highlights of our stay was the private beach. It is clean, less crowded, and ideal for spending quiet evenings with family while watching the sunset. The presence of so many peacocks around the property added a special charm, making the experience feel close to nature. The staff were extremely courteous and friendly, always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The food was delicious, with good variety and freshly prepared meals that satisfied everyone in the family. Overall, Gamyam Retreat is a wonderful place for anyone looking to relax away from the city’s hustle and enjoy a mix of comfort, nature, and hospitality. Whether it’s families, couples, or groups of friends, this resort has something for everyone. We returned with beautiful memories and would love to visit again. Highly recommended for a peaceful and refreshing getaway in Kumta.

Everything was perfect

Superb property. They tick all boxes in terms of excellence. A hidden gem. Very impressed and had a lovely stay

It was bad.

A very nice and lush property. The staff was courteous. The rooms were spacious and clean. Overall a good stay.

Stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Took the private pool villa and a premium king bed room. Both were attached to each other. It is a good combination for 2 couples. Price is ok for the experience. Food was excellent. King fish tawa fry was exceptional. Location is 10 km from NH66. The route via college road is less crowded. Rooms are great. Quality of accessories are good. Craftsmanship is remarkable. The service was good. The employees are polite, humble, on time, ... Didn’t use the beach as we were travelling full day.

Gamyam is not just a stay, it’s an excellent relaxing experience. The property is beautiful and the pool is just wow. Everything’s very clean. Food is also great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There’s access to private beach. It’s very safe too. Overall an amazing luxury experience.

No proper hospitality, for each and everything what we need, will have to wait for more then 30 minutes
