After extensive search of all resorts in East Coast Road, Chennai, we chose Mamalla Beach Resort to have our Sainik School, Amaravathinagar 1974 batch mates Golden Jubliee get together at Mamalla Beach Resort from 26 Aril to 28 April 2024. Though we had booked 19 rooms well in advance, the resort helped us in changing the dates due to elections, and providing adequate ground floor rooms as well as making arrangements to receive class mates coming from far, well before the check in time. All the rooms were well laid out with no complaints. The resort is full of lush green trees and we hardly felt the summer heat. The facilities offered in the conference room on 26th April night and camp fire arrangements on the beach were wonderful . Th.e swimming pool was very nice. As it was a package booking, the resort offered welcome Hi tea, free buffet breakfast and free buffet dinners at very concessional rates. Though the restaurant is under renovation, nice alternate arrangements were made. As Mahabalipuram city was only 1.5 Kms away, the Resort arranged for a van and a photographer to take us to Sea shell museum, Cave temples, shore temple, light house and surfing school. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and all of us left the resort with very fond memories.
