The place is apparently very nice but our room was dirty with insects everywhere, especially a red ants colony in the bathroom : a nightmare! We had to change hotel after one terrible night of stay. Do not go there.

Double booked us even though we had written confirmation and had paid a deposit, they refused to find us alternative accomodation, had to phone booking.com, the managers refused to speak to booking.com, left us high and dry and didn't help us at all..

We also spent some time next to... More

We stayed at Clafouti resort for 4-nights and was thankfully upgraded to one of the beach huts due to a mix up with our reservation. The hut was lovely and had a fantastic view over the cliff and just a few minutes away from the beach. The service was very friendly and my only complaint is that the room was... More

We paid 1500 rupies for a room plenty of mosquitos and the wc did not work. We moved to a homestay in front of the beach for less price and it was really good!

Very clean and amazing view of the sea and sunset. Negotiated price but without A/C although the ceiling fan was enough for us. Very friendly and hard working staff. Shop and internet onsite and restaurant good for breakfast and a masala tea in the shade. Enjoyed our time here.
