I'd rate this lower if not for a couple of friendly people at the front desk that really helped when needed. We stayed in accommodation that would qualify as backpacking material - thatch with lizard droppings on the sheets. I've travelled 3rd class from Chennai to Kolkata so I know unclean ! The entry to the hut is very child... More

Oh it was an amazing experience. We stayed in the Thatched hut which at the first glance didn't impress me but once you go inside, you'll be mesmerised by the bed and the minimal yet essential interiors. The bathrooms are nice and big and one of kind, actually... ;) Loved the idea of the sit out, you can sit there... More

Recently stayed at the Dune for the second time. Overall the experience was terrific, the staff were extremely helpful and the food at the restaurant was exceptional. It was also wonderful to be in the thick of nature, although I can understand why that aspect may overwhelm some guests. One drawback would be the quality of the room we stayed... More

We stayed at Dune and loved every feature and the overall spirit of the village/hotel with a unique cottage experience. The people were kind and helpful, the restaurant food was impeccable and offered enough variety to eat in daily! In addition, the atmosphere was artistic, inspiring and calm. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to provide... More

We had booked dune for new year 2011 celebration. On our first night the Cyclone was forecast. The management knew everything but didn't inform the guest about it. On the day of cyclone we didn't get proper food to eat. In the entire property of 42acres they have kept only 4 staff to help during night time. There was a... More

Recently travelled to the south of India, and stayed in the Dune Eco Beach Hotel, Pondicherry. The reception itself seems a bit under dressed. Was hoping that the resort itself would be better, but unfortunately was not really fascinated by the place. The website looks awsum, and the rates are awsum too...so the expectations are quite high aswell. The property... More

Well, I have been a regular visitor to the Dune since before its inception. When I stumbled upon the Dune the first time the concept of eco beach hotel was what my friends called "Nouveau Riche". Now, when I go back there for three things that makes me want to recommend the place to any discerning traveler is the place,... More

I have just come back from a holiday in Pondicherry. Unfortunately, a cyclone hit Pondy during my stay there. I was put up in BayWatch 1. As it was a room made out of bamboo and coconut leaves with no solid concrete walls, I felt it will be safer to move to a city hotel the night the cyclone hit... More

We are a family of 5 (children aged 9, 6 & 6) and stayed at Dune for a week (8-15 Dec 11). If you are looking for a relaxing family break in a spread out hotel then you won't find much better. We stayed in the Art Deco house which was perfect with two bedrooms and a large sitting area.... More
