Madras Chronicle Bay Resort & Spa

“I good hotel in a fascinating place.”

I joined a two‑week motorcycle tour of southern India with five friends and picked this spot for its location and amenities. It sits right in the heart of the Mahabalipuram UNESCO world‑heritage site, so most historic attractions are just a short walk away. The hotel itself feels modern, clean, and cozy, and the grounds are well maintained. Three of us crammed into a top‑floor suite that was spacious, stylish, and comfortable. The open‑air dining area was nice. The Mahabalipuram sites are definitely worth visiting – they’re among India’s most popular tourist spots – and we found a guide who explained everything very well. The only downside was that I had to request an extra mattress for our room three times before it finally arrived, which was not the best service.

“Value for money”

The place is excellent, with friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere that offers good value. I enjoyed the pool, the snacks, and the tea, and the staff behaved well. It’s worth the money. The only thing that could use a bit more variety is breakfast.

The location works well. During a storm, water started dripping from the ceiling and they moved us to another room quickly. The pool was dirty, the water wasn’t clear and bugs were inside. The jacuzzi had no comments. Trash was left in the corridors in the mornings and birds scattered it everywhere. Breakfast offered only Indian food and it was the same every day. Rooms on the top floor were super noisy when it rained.

The high‑tea concept and free breakfast are good, but they need a lot more discipline from staff and guests to succeed. The only bright spot was the 30‑minute jacuzzi session. The room had tea/coffee rings on the wooden table. Laundry was scattered all over. Extra beds were left outside the room in various spots. I found insects in the pool and reported it, but the staff did nothing to fix it. During high‑tea someone vomited and the staff didn’t bother to clean the mess right in the center of the hall.

The location is good, close to the tourist site. Breakfast could have more options.
