Island Dreams Resort

This family‑run spot is genuinely friendly and helpful, and the rooms stay spotless with A/C, TV, Wi‑Fi, and a decent shaded balcony. The hosts will cook for you if you ask, and the beach is a ten‑minute walk away; head fifteen minutes south for nearby restaurants, and a little further to the shoreline opposite Sultan Battery for the regular ferry to the mainland. The place sits quietly off Mangaluru’s noise, on a natural back‑water channel between the mainland and the Arabian Sea, but it feels a bit bland. Only the northern road reaches the island, though a new bridge was still under construction in late February 2026 linking the island to the mainland just south of Sultan Battery; that bridge work has dammed the back‑water and caused some stagnation around Island Dreams Resort.

The staff here are absolute stars - super friendly and accommodating. Our room was spotless and had a lovely balcony to enjoy the views. It's a shame the area can get a bit noisy, but that's not the hotel's fault.

We were really impressed with the location and the staff - they went above and beyond to help us out, even arranging a crib for our little one. However, the noise from the facility next door was a major issue - we had to contact the police multiple times to get it sorted out, which was really frustrating.

“Stay closer to both beach and river on an island”

This hotel is a real gem - the staff are amazing, especially Hemanth, who's always smiling and ready to help. The location can be a bit tricky if you don't have a car, but it's not the end of the world. Overall, the Mangaloreans we met were super friendly and welcoming.

“Perfect place to relax , away from the hustle and bustle 😎”

We had a fantastic time at this hotel, which is perfectly located on an island with stunning backwaters views. The staff, especially Hemanth and Sundar, were super helpful and made our stay really comfortable.
