Neemrana's - Bungalow on the Beach

We had one night stay with family in Neemrana bungalow on the beach, the property is literally on the shore, incredible 180 degree view of the ocean, you can see and hear the dancing and singing waves all day long. The property being 300+ years old has it's own charm and takes you centuries back although all modern amenities are there in the room which are very spacious. Staff is very helpful and courteous, food is made to order, very tasty, and served on the tables placed in the corners of the verandahs on four sides with mesmerizing views. The swimming pool was very clean and warm, the town has a Danish architectural flavour, everything including the Danish fort is within walking distance makes the stay perfect. I would definitely recommend this place to spend a weekend and enjoy the unique experience which is just 2 hours drive from Pondicherry or 4 hours from Chennai. Don't forget to drive to the harbour pier which is 1 km inside the ocean.

Stayed three nights while visiting fish landings with colleagues. The setting and room were fabulous and meals delicious. But I never got to taste breakfast as it didn't start till 7.30 and I had to meet my colleagues at 5.30am. Don't stay here if you want to go birding or fishing early in the morning! Had to un-bar the front door to get out the first morning as nobody was about. The security guard at the front gate looked after me each morning while I waited for colleagues. So good hearing the sea outside the room at night, was right at home (we live by the sea). On the down side, the day I checked out (at 7.30) there was nobody around and no breakfast - took some hunting to find someone so I could pay the bill. All done on paper - I paid with credit card. They printed off four itemised copies and I did not get any of them! But yes, I would stay there again, loved my sea-front room and its furniture.

old and not modernized to present time

Excellent property with great service and superb views. It is a must visit and must stay in my books - i will surely try and come back once again but maybe in December or January where the weather is possibly a bit kinder. Overall, a proper Neemrana property if there was one.

Nice Property. Great View. Sunrise is not to be missed over the Bay of Bengal. All historic sites are within walking distance. South Indian food options are great. Only Cons are the room lighting levels are low and the Toilet a bit too narrow.

The location is good.it is a wonderful property. Staff are very courteous.the food is yummy .we had only veg food..the swimming pool and the surrounding area is well landscaped.the only draw back is it is next to a public beach and resort doesn't have a private beach of it's own.to play in beach early morning is the only time otherwise it will be crowded.
