Hotel Samudra (KTDC)

This hotel has a fantastic sea view down across green lawns and swaying palms, at the lowest price imaginable! Try to book a room in advance with a great seascape view and a balcony! The hotel has a huge auditorium where I received a national award for excellence in architecture and the hotel hosted several large dinner parties on Its lawns with live entertainment and excellent food for about five hundred people with ease and seamless success!

This is a hotel with exquisite views right from your room. I am yet to find a beach hotel with such a location in India. The rooms are not the greatest in terms of space and furniture, but the French window opening out to the meadow/balcony compensates well beyond the same. Presume it was made in 1973, and being a Govt properly, it was given a premier location too. Having said that, it has been maintained rather well in comparison to most Govt hotels I have been to in India. Food is not pricey, though options are slightly limited for North Indians. Best to spend with your family/spouse. Take Deluxe room(s).

Wow welcome experience.. 9 rooms and 19 pax without any delay we all checked in to adjacent rooms. Fine and comfortable rooms. We had our buffet dinner all together.. Mr.Michael sang extremely well in the evening all those nice old hindi songs and the delicious food..

Visited on 8th September 2019 with wife and 5 year old daughter. The check in was prompt. We had checked in to "avenue" room. The room was spacious . It had a balcony which faced the sea. You can enjoy the breeze the whole day sitting on this balcony. The bathrooms were neat and clean. Towels were good. Bed was nice. The highlight of the resort is the beautiful green landscaping allaround. The lawn is well maintained with loads of round boulders where you can sit and watch the sea the whole day. Couple of swings and hammocks are tied on the coconut trees . There is a very good swimming pool too. It is well maintained and clean and has got a life guard throughout pool timings (7am -7 pm). The restaurant is indeed wonderful. All the dishes were very tasty. Complementary buffet breakfast was too good. We could nt meet the chef in person but taking this opportunity to congratulate him for the fine work he is doing. Room service was prompt . Coming to a few negatives points we observed about the resort. The resort urgently needs maintenance especially the wood work like balcony railings, doors and windows which are worn out due to exposure to salt laden winds from the sea. The hinges and door handles are all rusty... Same with batroom fittings too.. These indeed failed to offer that 'premium feel ' we had expected on our vacation. I think the management will take our suggestion seriously and rennovate it at the earliest. Hoping to return soon.

Beautiful landscape and location, but the buildings and rooms need TLC. We stayed overnight and loved the sea view, the sound of the waves, so refreshing and clean. Their restaurant has a great variety of food and excellent service as well
