Summer Sands Beach Resort

Ullal

We visited during weekdays and there were only two other families besides us in the resort, so the resort was almost deserted. We opted for single room accommodation. It was a huge room in a cottage, quite rare to see such big rooms nowadays. Stay was comfortable, nice property with direct access to an almost private beach. None of the cottages have a beach view and the age of the property shows, but its not a deal breaker. One drawback was that the food was definitely below par, better have outside or smuggle it into the resort since the resort claims to not allow outside food or drinks. That the resort is not professionally run was proved when the reception asked for the entire payment upfront and then refused to give a receipt when we wanted to pay in cash, I then switched to Gpay instead. No receipt, no tax, nothing and the owners also stay on premises. Don't go with high expectations and you wont be disappointed. Overall, one of the biggest beach resorts in the area, worth a visit if you can handle minor niggles and the bad food.  

Decent beach resort let down by bad food

Its very expensive and for photoshoot nothing is there  but charge is 1000 per hour, please make such things which should suit for shoot then only charge otherwise its not worth for money.... we are really dissapointed

review

The rooms are not up to standard. We had to literally beg for hot water facility and better mattresses. When we requested for hot water, the receptionist responded that we need to wait for 2 hours to address the issue. However, later we realised that they were simply waiting for us to check out. 

Summaer Sands Visit 09Dec2022

The resort is supposed to be the first beach resort in Karnataka state, set up in 1980s. The cottages are in old south canara style. Furnitures are old style but maintained well. However the service is not satisfactory. Food is good for sea food lovers. Breakfast is horrible. Not to be compared with modern resorts.

Heritage Style Resort

We've checked in for a single night stay. They have taken full payment at check in itself. Once we enter the room tv is not working, to order room service telephone is not working. If u want to order your room service you've to walk to reception every time. 10 o clock will close the restaurant. Once the restaurant Is closed you'll not get a water bottle as well. They'll say since guests are less staff need to go, so we've to order as per their time. Rooms are good, food is average but service is pathetic. No one will response. So called Madam, she's a manager itseems but I've not seen her in my entire stay. But if u ask anything you've to call Madam for everything.  If I ask receptionist to meet her they'll say she'll not be here always, she'll come and go.
Total waste of money.

Worst place to visit

We travel as family and upon seeing pics online we thought of booking summer sand. First look we were bit disappointed as swimming pool was not functional it's took some time to sort out .FO boy need to improve on his communication as not only me I saw lot of other guest were also asking him to repeat or go slow. We were so upset that we thought of moving to different place but finally my wife notice something and she ask me to talk to this gentleman Manoj GM of property and that is the point entire thought process chenged.He made sure we get good room food was too good . Service excellent Malik was too good for his job. Good place too be if you know where to 🍾 knock the door .Advise-Talk to GM of the property  .

Suggestions- online room discription need to be changed

Network need to be improved.

Excellent place

Not like usual Club Mahindra property.

We took all 3 resort through club Mahindra  we were literally upset and waned to avoide Neil . But for some good reason we could not able to reschedule our flight and wooooo what a good thing happen . Starting from Front office to bell boy Manager to cleaning staff you see a positivity in and around. Thanks to Manoj (manager) bajrang ,Ram and entire team for keeping up the name.Food wise compare to all this place was awesome.

Note- This is not club Mahindra property .they have tie-up.
Network is very bad

Good service

Location of property is very good but not very well  maintained. Good thing in here was they arranged a beautiful beach side dinner for extra cost. Otherwise so many small things here make the stay not stayable. For example, They don't provide towel outside swimming pool for in-house guest and we with my 5 yr old son had to go on wet cloths to our room, which was at a distance. Swimming Pool is not clean. Staff are kind but looks disoriented. Everytime Lunch and snacks payment is asked immediately not on the checkout like other resort. So we need to keep our wallet ready all the time. Overall good property but not upto the present standards of present resort and hospitality.

Good Location, Average Maintanence and Hospitality

The resort looks better on the photos than it does in reality. But it's all right. The water in the pool is pretty warm. Nice staff. Foreign credit cards are not accepted. We were very stressed because the chauffeurs at the cruise terminal are asking for completely absurd prices. We were promised a perfect day at the resort including everything that wasn't right at all. But the hotel can't do anything about it. It's a shame these guys completely spoil the tourists' desire to discover mangroves. Next time we wouldn't be getting off the ship on our own!

Day trip to Mangalore (cruise stop)

Just off humanity 
Sprawling area
Ethnic look - certain furniture can be maintained better
Clean decent sized swimming pool but the showers can be better maintained. Better room amenities like a fridge or kettle would be nice. 
Seaside awesome restaurant. Seafood is charged separately. food is good overall
Plenty of indoor games
Great view of the sunset Nd the restaurant is partly on the beach
Reception and staff are too quiet. They are quite soft - no smile, no wishes and not very forthcoming. 
Feels good but can be made awesome with such a great property
