    Amazing stay!

    chandramohan m.family with 2 kids

    We had booked the sea view suite. The room was very good and the view was amazing. Definitely worth the price. The staff were very courteous. Food was decent. A special mention for the security guard who was stationed at the beach point. His name is Mr. Kaathavarayan. He went above and beyond his job description. He made sure all the guests were safe on the beach. Politely but firmly discouraging anyone from playing in the waves after 6pm due to the aggressive and wild nature of the sea. We will always remember his helpful and kind nature. 😊

    Shelter Beach Resort Experience

    lalit r.family

    Our stay at the beach resort was a fabulous experience! The property was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a family getaway. We had a great time enjoying the swimming pool and indoor games with the kids. The highlight of our mornings was definitely the peaceful sea walk—a truly refreshing and calming experience. Every moment spent there was relaxing and memorable. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and rejuvenating break!

    Shelter Beach resort in Mahabalipuram is a very good property, right on the beach with private beach access. The large space inside with some indoor and outdoor games, swimming pool and buffet breakfast with good ambience makes this a good hotel for a family trip. Some things like dinner food options and room cleanliness could be improved to make things even better.

    Poor Stay

    anandhu d.family with 2 kids

    Shelter Beach Resorts - Not a good place for stay with family. Rooms were not clean, bathrooms were having bad odour, I had to complain 3 times to get a room fresh spray. AC - I hope they have never cleaned it after the first installation, we started feeling the drainage smell when we switch ON the AC. No action taken when complained. Breakfast food for the money could have been improved. Overall Poor experience with the stay and amenities.

    Terrible Stay

    sathish b.

    I had book a 1 night stay at Shelter beach resorts. The room was given exactly only after 2 pm, we checked into the room and we found the AC was not working properly, we had to stay in sweat condition all through our stay. We informed the room service about the AC condition but no care was given. The room service was pathetic we asked for water which was served after 45 mins and calling the room service for more than 4 times. Breakfast was ok, swimming pool needs revovation. Rude staffs I would never ever book a room at Shelter Beach Resorts
