My stay at the resort was filled with mixed experiences. The clean and well-furnished room had an amazing view from the private balcony, but I faced serious issues with electricity and water supply. The location provided a unique perspective of nearby attractions, but getting there was challenging due to confusing directions. Overall, it could be a great spot if the basic amenities worked as intended.

I had a wonderful two-week stay at this hotel with my daughter and toddler. The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, especially with accommodating our needs for a fridge for baby bottles. However, I did notice that the bathrooms felt a bit dated, and it would be nice if they were updated. Overall, the friendly staff and beautiful beach access made this a memorable experience.

I had a mixed experience at Vijaya Verma Beach Resort. While the view from the third-floor rooms was truly spectacular and the staff were attentive, the stay was marred by numerous issues such as unreliable electricity and limited amenities. The location is somewhat tricky to find and not as close to the beach as I had hoped, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, it lacks the comfort and reliability expected for the price.
