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 unfriendly. My son fell and had to have 6 stitches to close a cm long cut. The first aid is located in the spa, the people at the spa do not know what has to be administered and kept asking me what i wanted. No wrap bandages available, and i was offered part of a gauze bandage, actually cut in front of me as though it was gold i was asking for ! Not kid friendly at all!!! refer attached photo for details
The food is nothing to speak of. I understand the health and nature thingy here, but to have no salt in your food is awful. Breakfast is nothing to speak of. the spread is mostly fruits, lousy dosa's, hard idly's and weird muesli. The egg station is the saving grace. the seafood was average with no specials of the day for the time we were there. The worst part, there is no separate smoking zone which i believe is mandated by law. there were many foreigners merrily smoking in the main eating area. wonder how the health thing fits in here !!!
The lighting in the hut was low powered CFLs in arty lampshades which actually blocked most of the light. CFLS are to be used as is and not to be put in enclosed shades-says so on the box. The carpet grass in front of the hut probably ensured we had a steady supply of mosquito's for the night. The mosquito net was several inches short so couldnt be tucked into the bed. The saving grace was a mosquito repellant device which gave out an eerie orange light throughout the night.
Cycling though a good idea need to be followed up with properly maintained bikes considering the paths are all mud.
Saving grace was the kiddy pool, the hammocks and the easy access to the beach.

For the price we paid, this was a let down. Certainly a no-no for a second visit. we'll head to the french q the next time..

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 on the quieter evening, grab something to drink, feel the breeze and enjoy your time with friends and loved ones.
They provide bikes/bicycles to move around the property. But the seats are really extremely uncomfortable !!!

The pool is perfectly done and lit. Also, they have the changing room next to it.

And their breakfast spread is one of the best !!
Loved it.

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 in. Although nice, it was starting to show its age a little and could use a coat of paint. Will return for sure.

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 evening entertainment since the hotel is far from the city. Otherwise, a great pleasure and I would recommend to all!
