Magical”
We had an unforgettable experience staying in one of their nature cooled standard rooms. There is nothing standard about this room it’s absolutely unique. We slept with the huge window looking out onto the ocean open to the elements and the sound of waves crashing onto the beach sending us to sleep was something special. Great food in the restaurant added to the uniqueness that is the Dune. Their original eco friendly resort has been much copied but never bettered. Highly recommended

Excellent Resort for stay. ”
Value for money 💰. we visited around September 2021. And got the deal from agoda of around 7k. We have visited many other great places but this property is quite special and unique. 1. Rooms are extremely spacious and gives you chance to stay with nature. 2. Beach access 3. Breakfast (included) was great. 4. Very large property to explore. cons : 1. You need bicycle to move around the resort, but we weren't able to find any well maintained bycicles during our stay. 2. cleanliness can be better.

Quite off-the-beat resort. ”
The dune is a beautiful and vast properly and rooms are tastefully decorated. Do not expect 5 star like service or facilities. This is an off the beat and quirky resort and service is not like in executive / 5 star resorts.

Unique Resort with large cottages”
This is my second visit to the Dune group of resorts and their USP of eco friendly and unique cottages are amazing. This time too we got a very unique and large cottages very well done up. Only flip side to this resort is they have a very limited food menu which could be improved. Apart from this the entire experience was amazing. Plus they are a pet friendly resort which is an added advantage. Kudos to the staff who were all cheerful and always ready to be of assistance. Will definitely visit again.

Dune Eco Resort Review”
The rooms/Accommodation was lovely. The rooms were well appointed and grand. the location, and access to private and clean beaches was the best part of the stay. Proximity to both Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram too was just perfect. to each place was an hours drive either north or south on ECR road. What was a big downturn was both the Quality of food and hygiene at Dune 's restaurants. Food was greasy overcooked or poorly flavoured run-of-the mill. The cook at the Dosa counter was unhappy and dishing out undercooked Dosas for Breakfast. The Flies in the Dining areas are a HUGE turnoff. YOu can't eat in peace. there are flies everywhere!!! For family travllers who intend to eat inhouse and enjoy the Place, this aspect will definitely put you at a less than happy tone. I strongly encourage the Resort Management to address this. -Deepa

Staff efficiency.”
At the time of our stay, it seemed you restaurant was under staffed which led to very slow service of meals and making other residents unpleasant. Although your staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Accommodation good but maintenance is not upto mark and food is not good”
Food is the main problem as it was very average when compared to the cost..otherwise the stay and atmosphere, swimming pool and private access to beach are amazing..

Not worth the money”
The pics in the site are very deceptive. We were jus given a normal room and the AC wasn’t even enough to cool the room in the night. The day in the room was even worse. Water was stagnant in the bathroom and water heater was not working in one of our rooms. To refill the drinking water they took forever 🙄 Though the food in the restaurant was good, it was a little expensive. Overall the resort isn’t a luxury one and it’s defl not worth the price.

Cute accommodation but food was terrible”
The huts and houses were cute but I couldn't leave the property due to restrictions. Had to eat only there and the options and quantities were pitiful. It's far away from the town as well. But good for a total getaway from civilisation.

Hospitality”
It's not the same hospitality like 7 years back during my first visit.

Dune Experience”
As you enter the resort, it is really disappointing to see the reception area to be so small and you have to fill in your details standing and the staff are totally unaware of how to make a guest comfortable. Vast areas of land stand wasted and the whole place looks dilapidated. The place can by no stretch of imagination be called an eco-village. Indoor activities are limited and there were not any outdoor activities. The food was not great. The restaurant was totally understaffed and those that were on duty were specially trained to be unfriendly. They offer little assistance which baffled me. With little care for the environment and plans and vegetation and lots of improvement for a guest-friendly staff training, this place could well be worth spending some time. If you want to enjoy spending a couple of days by spending so much money, there are plenty of better destinations.

Not Worth The Money we spent”
Booked the superior deluxe room but was allocated another room altogether with no proper lighting. Had to complain that’s when a proper room was given, too many bugs around, esp the washroom. Beach and Pool are good, neat and well maintained. But Rooms & the property in general needs a lot of maintainance and some good marketing. The Location is far off from the town, you need to book an intercity cab and pay so much just for a25 mins drive. Food served was okay , slightly over priced tho.
