Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort

Great location

Shantanu Savkur

Hospitality need to have few thing sorted out. We had a very nice stay at the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort. It has an ideal location very close to the beach which is clean and well maintained. The rooms are nice and comfortable, however the bathrooms and tub area could do with a little more privacy from the rest of the room. The food quality is also very good as would be expected from a five star Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort. The one issue we had was that our son developed a fever when were there and we realized that the medicine syrup was too little, we should have checked it before leaving and it is our fault. However for a five star Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort that charges like one, we felt having some basic medicines with them is warranted, especially paid attic medicines as children can suddenly take ill and they do have a large percentage of children as guests. Hope the management looks into it. Also it would be nice if they could deliver the newspaper at the door as some of us are in the habit of reading the newspapers early. Otherwise we had a wonderful time in the resort.

Great stay at Intercontinental resort Mahabalipuram

We had a wonderful stay at the resort. The property is new and majestic. The entrance to resort is grand and bland, but from security point of view they might have specially designed so. Rooms are well planned and the interior is very thoughtfully designed. Lights are soothing and amenities are plenty. A great service and hospitality. Enjoyed our stay very much. The beach side shack is providing good food and drink. Breakfast buffet was well laid and covered the entire range. It was a great spread. The chef and staff cared for our tastes and choices. Even though limited A-La-Carte menu but chef prepared and the food was served as per our choice and specs. It was my wife birthday, they enquired about any occasion and knowing that served a complimentary birthday cake to add to our pleasant stay. Thanks
It was a great stay. Nice, well maintained and well staffed resort. We liked the personal touch of staff in everything and a great hospitality shown by all. It was my wife's birthday and they provided us with a complimentary birthday cake. Thanks. Enjoyed the stay.

Planet trekkers and Ms Sarita for the win!

There are a number of 5-star properties near Mahabalipuram but we always end up choosing Intercontinental when we need a quick getaway. So much so that we have been here 5 times in the last 15 months. The easy Beach access, courteous staff, good staff are all good enough reasons but if there a single reason we have not even looked at other resorts, it has to be planet trekkers and the ever caring Sarita Didi! The kids have the best time possible by indulging in various activities such as art and craft, shell painting, shell picking and building castles in the beach- all under the watchful eyes of Ms Sarita. This helps all of us have a relaxing vacation in its true sense. Ms Sarita has the ability to keep the children engaged for prolonged durations and if they are not eating or sleeping, all they want to do is to spend more time at planet trekkers! With such an innovative way to keep the children entertained, I dont See us visiting any other property in Mahabalipuram any time soon. Ra vi

5 star experience

Irwin Fernandez

The property is vast and beautifully laid out. The architecture is modern, with a tasteful combination of grey stone, and shades of brown decker elements. The room itself is large, and well appointed as expected of resorts that are classified as 5-star. The lovely little seating area by the window is a welcome addition. For anyone staying at the intercontinental mahabalipuram, I would recommend a meal at their all day restaurant, the melting pot. The food was delicious, and in good quantity. Breakfast the following morning was just as good, with the star of the show being good chef. During the busy holiday weekend breakfast service, he took personal interest in making small talk and ensuring we were being looked after. All in all, there is nothing that I can fault in our stay at the intercontinental mahabalipuram. I am happy to recommend the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort to anyone looking for some quiet and pampering.
Spacious room, beautiful door and colour scheme.

Beach, breakfast and rooms are the highlight

Nikita

Overall it was a nice experience. Loved the view from to beach and walk is also nice fully covered with greenery. The pond with lights looks magnificent at night. We wanted to go tao peng, but it is closed on Monday and we stayed there on that day only Food in melting was descent. We had panner tikka Madam which was a bit sweet and double Dal tadka which didn’t have tadka Morning breakfast really amazing. Super spread, delicious South Indian food. Loved it Very kind staff, well dressed, always ready to help. Feels like they believe in customer satisfaction Now coming to not so good things, when asked for complimentary cake as it was my husband’s birthday, they gave a mousse instead That was disappointing. Coming to recreation room, it is just namesake. Very small room with just TT table, 2 carrom board and foosball Overall 3. 5/5 experience .!

Overall good time. Good hotel for relaxed vacation

Pallavi Srivastava

Visited the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort during 25th December weekend. Hotel location is good and there is a very clean beach attached with snacks available. Property is very big and well maintained. Lighting though at night can be better. Breakfast buffet is good but lesser options for veg. Indian veg options can be improved. Idly had gone bad on the last day. Staff is very courteous and friendly how ever they were a few times when they missed our requests. Ala chart lunch/ dinner is okay, but expensive. Room service is mostly slow. Rooms are nice and tasteful. Good housekeeping.

Excellent

Ganesh Nishanth

It had been a very delightful stay in the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort. Great family place and a perfect place to relax and recharge. I loved everything in the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort except for the facilities provided to my driver. He didn't receive the basic dormitory and a clean toilet facility. I didn't face this issue with any other Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort which have stayed in. As a person who would likes to take care of his staff. I would recommend preparing an alternative for your driver if you're planning to stay here.

Simply superb

Naveen Garg

The location of the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort is very easy bang on east coast road. The breakfast was really good and the spread had lot of variety. Indian- continental- American. The service was excellent and prompt. Hotel staff are really courteous and friendly.
Everything was good. There was no latch for shower door or the bathroom door. Otherwise, it was simply outstanding experience. Bed was really soft and cosy. I had a great sleeping experience. The king side bed was big enough to accommodate 2 adults and 1 child of 5-7 years.

Hospitality at it's best

kiruba Lakshmi

The Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort’s hospitality was very impressive right from the start to the time we checked out. We had a great stay. Thank you. Intercontinental.
The kids room was the best of the amenities the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort had. The lady took care of my son so well. They have many interesting kids activities by the beach that gives the dad and mom some we time. We also loved kokommo by the beach, a bottle of beer, the noise of waves and some good old numbers made it just perfect.

Nice hotel by the beach

Krishnaswamy Divakaran

The best thing about the Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort was it's proximity to the beach. Food in the beach shack kommone was very tasty although slightly expensive. The shack is right by the beach so makes for a great evening by the beach. Nice swimming pool.
I would have been good if they had hooks in the bathroom to hang clothes. Would also be good if they had a facility to wash feet outside the room while coming from the beach to avoid sand getting into the room. Bathroom slippers were not provided.

Weekend done right

Yashna Singhvi

I had chosen the resort for a weekend off and it was a completely worthy break. The breakfast was amazing. The chef put extra efforts in customizing the breakfast for every guest. The night looked beautiful. The lightings all over the place property and at the beach. It's a very beautiful property. Will love to visit it again and again shall definitely recommend more people to visit the resort too.
I loved the decor of the room and the lighting it had. The bed was very good it felt like a really good break.

Decent property with top notch service

Kumar Viswanath

The rooms were good and decent sized. The only thing missing was that the showers we're missing towel hooks. Also it would be useful to have wall sockets near the day bed. Service esp from Krishna and Ridhika (guest experience) was extraordinary. Both went out of the way to make our stay memorable and comfortable. Service at the Melting pot and Gatsby was also excellent and probably better than most resorts I have been around the world. Looking forward to another stay at the Intercontinental soon.

Recommend

Praveen Balachandran

I enjoyed the stay at the Intercontinental. The rooms were good with all the basic amenities. Room service and housekeeping were prompt and excellent. The pool was clear and well maintained without much chlorine.
I found the open bathroom concept a waste of space.

Decent stay

INDRAJIT BANERJEE

It was a decent stay with loads of activities. I quite liked the room but the thing that bothered me was the room service it was pathetic.
The room service was pathetic to get anything, you need to call them twice or thrice wait an hour to get what you order that is really not acceptable.

Overall good experience

Great experience

AKSHAYA VISWANATHAN

Overall it was a great experience spending time at this place. We celebrated our first anniversary at this Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort and it was a splendid stay. The Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort staff were all very courteous and helpful. The private beach and kokomo restaurant was amazing. We felt the food to be over pricey. Apart from that it was a spectacular experience.

A relaxed break.

Anas Nasir

Room interior design is excellent. Location is so great but room service is so worst taking lot of time.

Had to be the service!

LekshmiV

Overall it was a lovely experience! It's a pleasant and calm place ... The rooms and it's decor is just beautiful! Service also is impeccable! Only qualm was that the indo continental restaurant a la carte menu was limited and exclusive, so you are not left with much choice ..! Nevertheless really good food! :) And yes the breakfast buffet was one lavish spread! You couldn't have asked for more!

Very nice stay
