This hotel has a fantastic viewing gallery perfect for enjoying sunrises without the crowds. The location near the Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a major plus, but the overall experience fell short due to the average quality of the rooms and service. While it’s well-maintained compared to other tourist spots, there were issues with Wi-Fi and room amenities that dampened the stay.

The hotel has a prime location, situated right on the main circle, making it easy to visit the Kanyakumari temple and nearby sites. The views from the front rooms are spectacular, allowing you to witness beautiful sunrises and the confluence of oceans. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with below-average food quality and high prices.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The location near Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a plus, but the infrastructure is outdated and the lack of cleanliness was frustrating.
