Good visit

Shivanjali Holiday Home is a descent stay near Awas beach in Alibaug. Well there are manyyyyyy holiday homes in Alibaug where residents have converted their homes into resorts, hence giving us huge scope for quality with pricing, but it takes a hell of a time to search and decide which one to go with. We chose Shivanjali as our office batch had already visited the place. These residential places converted into resorts should not actually be rated/compared with star quality hotels but I will mention below the pros and cons for this property- PROS- 01. LOCATION- Awesome. Just 5 min walking and u will reach Awas beach. Awas beach is around 10km from Alibaug bus station. 02. Food- Yummy. Specialist in fish. One can enjoy the local cuisine at its best here. We had chicken and 3 types of fishes and tastes awesome. NOTE THAT food is included in room tariff, IE. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. 03. Rooms- Descent, Commode toilet, you can imagine being at your home, nothing more or less than that. 04. Amenities- swimming pool, changing and shower room, garden, liquor shop exactly at entry area, dining area. The best part here was that it took ONLY 5 mins to reach the clean Awas beach. This beach is less populated so one can enjoy openly over here. CONS- 01. ROOM SERVICE- No room service, you have to call them directly on mobile or meet in person if you need something. 02. Rates- For non AC, singles it's 1200 where 3 will need to occupy one room; couples it's 3000. For AC, it's 500 extra. I think this rates are high as compared to the service they provide. Even though the food is included in the package, still the rates are a bit high. 03. Visit points- Other than beach, no good place to visit from here. No market, no medical shops, etc CONCLUSION- All homes in this area provides same service, our stay here was good though, but if you have time, choose where u can save ur bucks without compromising on opportunity to taste local food.
