Hotel admin and facilities: Smooth check in process, parking is not bad (you may have to come to reception and drop your luggage and park aside), good open areas, dining areas, pool(infinity pool but no view as such) and indoor games with gym are available. Rooms : Big size with balconies. We took deluxe room facing pool on first floor. Comfortable beds. There was hot water available, good part is they have separate wifi for each room. TV recharge had to be requested. But it was done after half an hour. Note: for pool facing room, ask for balcony without coconut tree in front, it might block the pool view Room service : is good. For few orders in non peak hours, they may take time. However for dinner etc, the service was quick and waiters are hard working. Breakfast spread: very okay. Not the best. Basic bread butter, three Indian items (poha/upma/idli/meduwada/potato wada) , boiled eggs, potato wedges, sprouts, beverages etc. You get omlette or dosas in live counter. Definitely would have liked some bakery items, muffins or desserts for the cost we pay at this 4 star property. Variety should be there. Overall stay was comfortable, staff is decent, distance from temple and beach is less than 3kms. Would recommend
Posting this review after staying at MTDC, Shree Ganesh Deluxe, Kohinoor Samudra and after checking out other big resorts in Ganpatipule. What I liked: 1) Large and Spacious Rooms (Standard Rooms > 400 sq ft, Suite Rooms > 750 sq ft). 2) Fine Dine and Buffet Restaurants with sophisticated ambience, multi-cuisine menus and courteous staff and service. 3) Indoor and Outdoor Game-zones 4) Spa is starting soon 5) Infinity Pool with kids' pool 6) Huge Lawns and 3 banquets for events 7) Staff is friendly and helpful and provides customised experiences 8) Customised food options available for kids and Jain, Vegan persons. 9) They have local dishes that they make sometimes , if requested. 10) They have rooms very closer to pool and lawns and restaurants for elderly people. Have enjoyed thoroughly with family. Totally recommended.
