The entire resort was an unique experience..From.the rooms,ambience and unusual activities both for kids and adults. The food needs a special mention.Such personal care and impeccable service.My 92 year old father loved the food and was pampered with his choices..They made his birthday unforgettable. The evening street food was a fab experience. Ilaiyaperumal,Naveen and Veeran need a special mention and kudos for their ever smiling service. Highly recommended for a varied holiday.

My 14 yr old daughter and I stayed for 2 weeks and were so happy with this accommodation. It's right on the edge of the fisherman's colony with easy walking access to both beach and the town. Being in its own, gardened compound made it feel like home away from home. We wanted somewhere that we could retreat to, with our own space and cooking facilities and Sea Shelter Garden Villa gave us all that and more. The facilities were great and we wanted for nothing. Consistent wifi, great air con, hot water, TV with access to Amazon Prime - there is even back up power to run fans/couple of lights in the case of a power cut. It was very clean and the addition of fly screens on the windows meant we could open them without mosquitoes etc getting in. Thangaraj was the perfect host; he was attentive and checked in often via WhatsApp but gave us our space. He provided water and brought refills whenever needed. We would not hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay again.

The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean. Really worth your money. Quiet place to take some rest. It is better to come with a 2-wheeler, to reach easily Mahabalipuram if this is your goal. I liked it a lot.

Attentive staff, great food and wonderful beach location make for a fantastic restful retreat. The room was amazing with a shower open to the stars, a lovely veranda looking towards the sea and a super comfortable bed. The madras bbq fish was amazing with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. The pool also has at own in pool bar which is fun and a great place to cool off from the heat.
