LOVED the room! So spacious and gorgeous. The brewing station with tea leaves made me so happy. In awe of the Franco-Tamil architecture, so glad they preserved it so well. The property is gorgeous. The staff is so sweet and the chefs are so talented. You've got to try their non-veg Tamil thali for lunch <3 The cooking demos are so fun and educational. The location is perfect for a stroll on the promenade and the beach. They've a lot of tours/activities to do through the property. You can also rent an e-bike and cruise through the quaint lanes near the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

This was a great place to stay in Pondicherry. Convenient location that is close to the beach and other attractions. The recently refurbished rooms were very modern, clean and quiet with working a/c unit and ceiling fan. I felt very comfortable here. The owner/manager, Marc, was very kind and also helped me to organize a few things for my trip. One of the best things here was a guided tour to Auroville and some of the surrounding areas that was hosted by the owner's wife, Leela. This was truly one of the highlights of my trip to South India so far! The price was completely reasonable for a half-day trip and I learned a lot about Auroville. I can highly recommend doing this!

A beautiful temple for some specific reason.

A beautiful temple for some specific reason. The location needs to be maintained. The temple tank area is so dirty. Not sure if we can blame the management, ideally the visitors also need to be responsible enough not to dirty the place. The temple tank needs cleanups and the area around it needs to be garbage free.

Made wrong decision to choose perl mahe. Poor customer care. Denied breakfast included with fair. Receptionist says we never served breakfast ever. Requested to clean the room in the morning and done after 10 at night when I came back to get some sleep. Rude receptionist. Staff are never trained into the hospitality industry. Without begging Customer won’t get any service. In the middle of the night ringing on the service line to disrupt the sleep. Never recommend to others. Worthless.

Plan a small getaway to pondicherry. Enjoy their beach.

Plan a small getaway to pondicherry. Enjoy their beach. Pradaise beach was really good. Go to rock beach for a walk. The streets near rock beach is almost filled with french style buildings everywhere. Great restaurants and cafés near rock beach if you have the budget for bougey experience. The temple was different from other ones. Manakula Vinayagar temple. It was pretty chill. And if you are planning on going on the weekend, dont miss the Sunday market. Overall, pondi is great to unwind. You can stay there for a day. Or two if you wanna extend your unwinding session. Authentic pizza is a must try. Auroville has some nice food options for you to try, and other activities like meditation, etc. Two to three days should be sufficient. 6k budget should be sufficient for two days. For a more bougey experience 10k should be fine. For three days, 10 to 12k is sufficient. 14k for going all out.

Not much to do here unless you plan to stay and drink at the millions of wine shops and bars. The Tagore Walkway was nice, the little park at the base of the lighthouse was okay. Its a slightly depressing town of mostly drunk folks stumbling about, with cheap booze and cheap fuel due to the union territory tag I guess.
