A Perfect Family Holiday Resort This resort provided an exceptional experience for our family holiday, making it a memorable and enjoyable stay from arrival to departure. Everything was thoughtfully managed and offered great value for money. Highlights: Front Desk Staff: Warm, welcoming, and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process. Restaurant Staff: Excellent service, with a special mention to Imtiaz from the Chai Station, whose masala chai was a hit, especially with my elderly parents. They absolutely loved it!

What Can Be Improved: While everything was impressive, one area for improvement would be the guest management during high tea. The crowd could feel a bit overwhelming at times. Additionally, the Rajasthani folk performance, although delightful, might be better scheduled later in the evening or after high tea to allow guests to enjoy both without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a truly wonderful stay, and we look forward to visiting again!

The staff were incredible, from cleaners to front of house, all so kind, caring & helpful. The welcome at reception was wonderful, Manjunath & Srayashi are a real asset to Kaldan Samudhra Palace. As a single lady traveller it is important to feel welcomed and at home. Food was all amazing from complimentary breakfast to high tea. Room was opulent, comfortable bed & pillows, many lovely snacks & drink option gifts. Super clean & tidy.

Noise in stairwells & corridors carried through to room. People talking very loudly almost shouting, children very noisy - loud talking & screaming can be heard in the room. Crows… sqwarking, leaving excrement on balcony, also my book got destroyed by something (maybe a crow) I left it out on the balcony overnight. Warning should be given not to leave anything on the balcony unattended. Some parts of the palace already looking tatty, boardwalk around pool uneven some bits of decking missing, beautiful elephant statues have bird excrement on them. Not keen on fake grass mats, cheapens the decadence. Spa prices a little high, especially when tax is added to price menu. Would be nice to be able to buy a drink or an ice cream on the beach.

Exceptional. This place deserves a detailed review. Starting with the welcome wagon. Harpal at the gate greets you with a warm offer to take a pic. Rajasthani style welcome with soft drinks. Quick check in. Exceptional rooms. Amazing service . Buddhadev on the service side is to warm and friendly and goes above and beyond. Attention to detail in the rooms is noteworthy. U have everything u could need in the room and the complimentary mini bar deserves an additional star. The complimentary hi tea is great. But the breakfast was out of the world. Pool was amazing and a great respite from the heat. Lot of picture opportunities especially when the lights come on. We needed a topical for my 10 yr old son late at night and they got it from the store and handed it to us in the room at no extra cost. My only regret is not having stayed here longer. Also noteworthy not a single person would hang around waiting for a tip although all of them deserve all the tips we gave them. Well done kaldhan. Made our stay memorable and will surely come again when life brings us to chennai.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Kaldan Samudhra, and my experience was a mixed bag. Here are some things I liked and disliked: Likes: 1. Stunning Pool View: The pool view from our room was absolutely breathtaking. It was a perfect spot to relax and unwind. 2. Exceptional Food: The food at Kaldan Samudhra was truly extraordinary. The spread was huge, and there were plenty of options to suit every taste. 3. Concise Property: Although the property isn't huge, it's very well-designed and concise. Every amenity is easily accessible, making it a convenient stay.

Dislikes: 1. Room Delay: Unfortunately, our room was delayed by 2 hours, which was a bit frustrating. When we brought it to the staff's attention, all they offered was a half-hearted apology. 2. Lack of Compensation: Given the delay, I expected some form of compensation or gesture of goodwill. However, none was offered, which left a sour taste. Overall, Kaldan Samudhra has a lot to offer, but it falls short in terms of service. With a bit more attention to detail and a more empathetic approach to customer service, this property could truly excel.

I liked the mix of the ancient architectural construction and the updated luxury at Kaldan Samudhra. The impressive beach view, well-dressed rooms, and tasty food made the hotel fantastic. The staff was so friendly and helpful that they left no stone unturned to provide us with a relaxed and unforgettable stay. And I must not forget to mention the infinity pool on the sea's edge, which was quite a grand experience and where I could sit, relax, and hear some waves. The dining experience was delightful, with a wide array of local delicacies tantalising the taste buds.

Though I had a fantastic time at Kaldan Samudhra, I faced terrible wireless internet issues in some places around the resort. This could inconvenience some guests who might need an assured internet connection.

My wife and I recently had an impromptu trip to a resort to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. The welcome was exceptional, as we were greeted in traditional Rajasthani style, complete with turbans and welcome drinks. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful throughout our stay. To our delight, they surprised us with anniversary arrangements in our room, including beautiful decorations and a cake, and even recorded a video of the celebration, which was fantastic. The food and amenities were excellent, making it a wonderful place to spend time with family.

However, the per-night room cost is quite high. It would be great if they could work on reducing the prices. Additionally, the balcony view towards the swimming pool is obstructed by trees; trimming the leaves slightly would improve visibility. Other than that, everything was absolutely perfect.

From beginning to end you feel luxuriously pampered. Our room was upgraded to a King room, the exquisite pool was a joy to swim in: the tea was incredible, the concert after the tea was glorious and particularly fun because I got to dance with the dancer. The whole place seems highly invested in making sure you have a memorable time. All of the complimentary perks create an extremely positive atmosphere. The final perk was a photo of the two of us, which will keep this experience in happy memory

Nothings

Service is excellent at Kaldan Samudhra, room was spacious and neat, and the beach was clean and well-maintained. The fort/palace ambiance is different from other beach resorts, which makes Kaldan a unique place to stay.

We took the dinner buffet, which was around Rs.2700 per head. However, I believe the food was not value for money, could have been surely better. One other thing I would point out is that, while the beach is a great place to spend time in the evenings, it's not suitable in the mornings because there is not adequate shade arranged, there are also no tress around. There's only one umbrella available.

The Resort is truly a 5 star property and amazing pool. Big lawn had all the amenities and facilities and beach facing. great music to enjoy in the evening and would like to thank the entire staff for the warm welcome and also in restaurants. The spread of breakfast was awesome and the dinner was also very very tasty. Recommend everyone to stay in this property and enjoy the great amenities provided by Kaldan Samudhra Palace…Hats off to everyone in Kaldan Samudhra Palace

Vegetarian dishes in the menu for lunch and dinner could have been more
