    Review Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    The property showcases a great location just a short walk from the beach, making it convenient for beach lovers. While the staff are appreciated for their polite service, guest experiences highlight several maintenance issues. Cleanliness in rooms seems to be a concern, and amenities are inconsistent. The swimming pool is a plus, but its upkeep could use attention. Overall, it attracts those seeking budget-friendly stays but comes with caveats on room quality and services.

    Poor Stay

    ananthu a.couple

    I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was not up to expectations. The first room I was given had no working door locks, which raised safety concerns. After bringing this to their attention, I was moved to another room, but that room also had issues with the lock, making it feel unsafe and uncomfortable. In addition to the lock issues, the cleanliness of the rooms was below par. The overall look and feel of the room did not justify the price I paid. For the rate, I expected better quality in terms of both comfort and hygiene

    The overall experience was below expectations. The pictures shown online were quite different from the actual room. The TV was not working, and even after informing the staff, the issue was not resolved. Only one towel, one soap, and one bottle of water were provided despite a booking for two guests. Basic amenities like toilet paper and tissue paper were missing. There were even cockroaches on the bed. While the exterior of the hotel looked good and matched the pictures, the inside of the room was not up to the mark. The bathroom door also did not close properly. Overall, a very disappointing experience in terms of room quality and maintenance. However, I would like to appreciate the staff for being polite and cooperative throughout the stay.

    The location of property is good, Just 3 minutes walk to beach. Breakfast was provided in Black beach resort which was average which included Dosa,Chutneyand sambar(good), Upmav and chena Dal( Average), Bread ,jam and butter, coffee and tea...sitting near the beach side and enjoying breakfast was an awesome experience in the morning. About the room....don't expect too much....I have booked AC room and it was not up to the level. Rooms and Toilets are not maintained properly...not so clean....very old coir bed was provided...which was very hard. Toiletries included 1 small soap, shampoo,body lotion ,conditioner. Kettle, teabags,coffee pack etc were not provided. Separate swimming pool for adults and kids are available. Hot water for bathing is not available during day time....At night hot water was available . Overall stay was average.....

    Food was not good, very less options and quality and taste were also not good. Location was great, as it was near the beach. The property overall was not impressive, door locks were jammed. Room service not easily available as the numbers and phone didn’t work. No differential deluxe rooms, all same.

    Poor Stay

    sagar s.family with 2 kids

    Please do not book this place. Bad furniture, broken furniture, room service is not good. For food you need to walk for 5 mins to reach the restaurant. They have multiple properties but have a common restaurant. They do not provide sufficient towels or refill water bottles unless requested. There are many other properties near the sea side which are much better at a decent price.

    I recently stayed at Rachana’s Black Beach Resort and had a pleasant experience overall. The best part of this resort is definitely the location – it’s just a short walk from the beach, calm, and away from the heavy crowds. The surroundings are peaceful, making it a good spot to relax and unwind. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests. The pool was well-maintained during my stay and added a refreshing touch, especially after spending time at the beach. Rooms were comfortable and fairly spacious, giving good value for the price. That said, a few areas could use improvement. Housekeeping could be more consistent, and amenities like bathrooms and bed linens could be better maintained. The in-house dining options were limited, so it’s worth checking nearby restaurants at the cliff for more variety. Overall, this is a budget-friendly resort with a great location and a relaxing vibe. Perfect for travelers who want easy beach access, a nice pool, and a peaceful atmosphere, as long as you don’t expect luxury standards.
