Aqua Marina Beach Cottages

My girlfriends and I had the most amazing getaway at this resort! We felt very safe and welcome. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. We loved lounging by the pool and enjoying delicious cocktail sunsets at the beach. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and luxury. Can't wait to come back.

The staff was very friendly - especially the housekeeping/maintenance/kitchen staff. The wooden buildings look very cozy. Great location with direct access to the beach. Long distance to walk with luggage though, since taxi cannot reach the hotel gates. We knew this in advance so it was not a problem. Tasty Indian breakfast. Plus points for good quality fresh fruits.

The resort has a lot of potential but some serious improvements should be done. In the rooms there are wires hanging even in bathroom where one showers. Table sides were unfinished wood etc. Outside areas have pipes laying around in unappealing way, there are sharp tiles, etc. No sound isolation in rooms, the music from breakfast (even not loud one) resonates in the buildings and creates an unwanted echo inside. All movements upstairs can be heard in the apartment below. Pool was very dirty, the water being “cloudy” which made it not inviting. People should be told not to swim with their clothes on and to take a shower before swimming. If one does not like Indian breakfast, the option was toast with fried egg. To attract more western tourists, one should think about “green peaceful oasis” for example with cleanliness, food and drink options and the playlist at the breakfast.

Need more variety and changes specially in Non vegetarian

Water leakage in room form roof which was next to my bed

Our room was in the front/ beach side in the resort. Unfortunately there was some kind of wood fillings or something that constantly dropped from the ceiling. Everyday I had to clean it up around my bedside table and near my pillow.
