InterContinental Hotels CHENNAI MAHABALIPURAM RESORT by IHG, an IHG Hotel

It is ok to stat for seceral days with family. The staffs’ response and service is excellent.

It was a good experience. Amenities and service are quite good. Especially there is a big change for food comparing to before. Food qualities are great an good to stay with family.

전반적으로 좋았읍니다. 아이들과 재미있게 놀다 왔어요. 조식도 먹을만 했구요. 단 수영장에 그늘이 별로 없어서 아이들이 많이 탔어요. 썬크림을 충분히 바르고 놀도록 해야 합니다 야외 시설에 그늘을 많이 만들어 주셨으면 해요

수영장도 괜찮고 걸어서 해변에 갈수있음.

The stay was great and excellent customer service

Amazing Stay

Servicio excelente y buenas habitaciones

True 5 star. staff in reception extremely helpful and the staff in the restaurant was beyond excellent. I would give them a 20 out of 10

Hotel is beautiful and service was great. It is a great place to relax by the pool and beach

A nice clean hotel. rather unnecessarily large building with a small beach which is difficult to get to as it falls of a cliff and has rocks. Three small restaurants - one of which was closed and they did not warn us in advance or at check-in. Limited options for vegans - and the duty manager told us to call the other restaurants to see what was on offer rather than trying to help us. Not the service expected of a 5 star resort. Otherwise very nice and friendly staff. Would probably not revisit as limited things to do in the hotel - they charge for bicycle use even.

We chose this location for a staycation with our family. My father has had recent health issues and hence his ability to move has been limited. Going to this resort was a way for us to enjoy some down time as well as letting my father move about and enjoy. From that perspective it proved to be a great choice. The hotel is very nicely structured with a wide corridor that's great to walk around - which my father enjoyed. The rest of the family enjoyed the private beach, the shack, the swimming pool and the recreation room. I even enjoyed some street cricket by the beach with a few other guests (the equipment was brought by the guests, not provided by the hotel). The rooms are nice & spacious and the hospitality top class. Couple of things to improve on - (a) the Melting pot is the only functioning restaurant during week days. If you are planning to stay purely at the resort, that can be a bit boring. The shack by the beach has drinks and snacks but isn't a full dining place and Tao of Peng was entirely closed during our weekday-trip. (b) The resort does not enforce dress code in the swimming pool. You will see people swimming with all sorts of attires. It is a well kept pool and the experience is great, but you might put off by people showing up in the pool in their normal clothes. (This is kind of normal in India, but I would've expect IHG to have international norms). Overall great!

The staff were magnificent, all very helpful especially amen in the breakfast area. Food was great high quality with a good selection of European and Indian dishes. The facilities in the room were good with access to English language films and sport. It was a bit away from everywhere else and there could have been better facilities on the beach as the sea did look inviting. On the whole thumbs up all round. It is what I expect from a 5 star hotel.

Business travel. Room: Spacious and clean room, with fantastic service. Service: Staff were extremely attentive, friendly, and accommodation. Could not fault the service at all. Breakfast spread: good variety, food taste was probably ok-ok at best. Gave the breakfast a 6/10 rating and the chef came knocking at my door to offer a note of apology with a cake and fruit platter. I didn’t feel this was necessary, but appreciated the gesture very much. Again a testament to the staff’s commitment in providing top notch service. Hotel compound: the resort felt a bit ‘sterile’ to be honest, and the garden between the main building and the beach felt redundant. Overall a very comfortable stay, and once again can not commend the staff more for their attentiveness and warm hospitality.

Fantastic property with unique atmosphere

Saw a small roach in room. Cleanliness needs to be improved but property is extremely beautiful and serene.

Amazing property. Rooms are big and very nice.

We liked everything including being on the beach.

It is a relatively new property with great amenities inside the room and in the hotel generally. The food is great in all restaurants. They also direct access to the beach and a beach shak operated by the hotel as well. The shak is right on the beach and in the evening they put tables very close to the water. The vibe, food, and setting in the shak is amazing. The food in the main restaurant for breakfast and lunch is fantastic as well. The hotel has a well equipped gym as well. The spa is amazing too. The pool is also nice 11M/25m which is really good if one wants to train. There is a nice crocodile bank close to the hotel. The hotel staff was gracious enough to get us a free drop and pick up to the crocodile bank. The hotel is 15kms ( about 20 min drive) from Shore temple and other unesco world heritage monuments in Mahabalipuram. Super convenient and the hotel has paid cab service. What I did not like was the service. Our rooms were not cleaned despite us putting a note for cleaning. We had to call the service many times to get our room cleaned. The hotel was also fully booked so guess that explains. The service during lunch and breakfast was also nothing special. It was still far better than what we see outside of India but having travelled extensively in India, I think the service can get better to match Indian standards. Overall a great experience at this property. I would stay here again and also recommend this to people looking to stay in this property.
