3 star resort by Western standards
Overall the hotel is well appointed with beach front access and lovely, warm sand with little to no garbage. The groundd of the hotel are well maintained, for Indian standards, and are very beautifully landscaped. This is similar to a 3* resort in the Caribbean. The rooms are a bit dated, the beds needs replacing and the use of satin bed covers and pillow cases is a bit off putting due to visible staining. The common areas are in need of modernization as the theme of Hollywood needs to stay a bit more relevant. There are no activities anywhere in the resort with the exception of a carrom board and some paid archery. The outside kids area is great with lots to play on. The pool is well maintained though we did have to alert them off several insects living in the pool (pool chemicals need to be increased). We visited the spa and it was well done. There were only 2 restaurant choices available when we went (Nov 2022), Poseidon's grill (beach front bar) and the buffet. The beach front was great, the food was excellent, fresh and no "after effects", though the prices are around $18CAD/1100INR for sushi roll and about $10/550INR for alcoholic beverages. Be careful when purchasing the grilled seafood, the price is per grm (4 Tiger prawns was about $24/1300INR). The buffet is good, Dinner and lunch buffet was good, though 95% Indian food only with 1 thai curry and 1 pasta though they claim to be a multi cultural food selection. Great dessert!
