Majority of reviews highlight poor cleanliness and service.

Guest as saying

Pathetic! Never go here, the rooms are okay but the staff and the service by Rajiv and team is worst than any local street vendor. The attitude was sky rocket with zero politeness and not worth it at all. I would suggest avoid it. They will abuse you and even commented on us also. Ugly quality of hotel and service. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND NOT VISITING AGAIN.

The resort stay was an average experience overall. The property itself is quite small, and there were a few basic issues. The heater wasn’t working properly, so we only got mildly warm water instead of proper hot water. Since it’s a beach property, sand easily gets into the room, but the doormat provided was not sufficient, which made it a bit inconvenient. Basic amenities like toothbrush and toothpaste were also not provided, and the balcony area was not well maintained.WiFi connectivity was decent. The breakfast buffet tasted good, but the options were limited. For lunch and dinner, the menu had a wide variety of cuisines, and the taste was good, but the pricing felt a bit on the higher side for the quantity.One major disappointment was the swimming pool. This property does not have its own pool, and instead provides access to their parent property, Rachana’s Beach Resort. However, it requires walking there, which was quite inconvenient, so we skipped it. This was especially disappointing for the kids, and it would have been better if this was clearly mentioned in the amenities beforehand.On the positive side, the restaurant service was good. They have a music system and projector setup, which made the dining experience enjoyable’especially watching IPL matches and listening to songs while having meals.Overall, it was a decent stay with some good aspects, but there are areas that definitely need improvement.

I stayed at from 30 April 2026 to 2 May 2026. I had booked a non-AC room, and the room size was decent for the price paid. However, the room had a noticeable odor, and some of the plug sockets were not working properly.On the positive side, the resort offers a beautiful cliff view with an amazing sunset point, which was definitely the highlight of the stay. The breakfast was good as well (I had booked a package with breakfast included).One downside was the lack of hot water availability, though it was manageable since it was summer.Overall, considering the location and pricing, the stay was worth it. I would rate it 3/5.

Disappointing Resort Stay

2.0

Disappointing Stay ’ Not RecommendedMy overall experience at Black Beach Resort was very disappointing. While the location is good with easy access to the beach and surfing activities, almost everything else fell below expectations.The biggest concern was the poor maintenance and lack of hygiene. Rooms were dusty, had a stale smell, and basic cleanliness was missing. Bedsheets and linens were not clean, and even the bathroom condition was unacceptable, with issues like no water in the flush. The environment felt unhygienic, with animals roaming around the property, including near dining areas.Staff behavior was another major drawback. The team was unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times rude. Check-in was delayed significantly, and there was little concern for guest comfort or satisfaction. Support was lacking throughout the stay.Food quality was average at best, with limited breakfast options, and did not justify the price. Additionally, some amenities mentioned during booking were not available. There is no dedicated parking, and facilities like the swimming pool are located in another property.Overall, apart from the location, the resort fails to meet basic expectations. It might be manageable for bachelors, but it is not suitable for families. I would not recommend this resort for a comfortable or pleasant stay.
