Situated just 1.5 km from Mahabalipuram Beach, Bodhiwoods Resorts features accommodation in Mahabalipuram with access to an outdoor swimming pool, an open-air bath, as well as a 24-hour front desk. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

We stayed at the resort for three nights. We initially booked the 1-room chalet but once we got there we decided to upgrade to the chalet, which is more spacious inside and also has a small private patio. The location is great because it is nice and quiet on the outskirts of town but it is still easy to get into town. The staff were exceptionally helpful and polite especially the young woman (unfortunately I don't know her name), who seemed to be the duty manager. The onsite restaurant is good, lunch and dinner is made to order and there is a good choice. The aviary was a nice little additional feature and the gentleman who looks after the parrots is very helpful showing you the birds.

    1. Rooms were excellent. Cozy, spacious, modern and tidy. 2. The breakfast buffet spread was excellent. A lot of varieties and tasty as well. 3. Very kind and polite staff in all departments. Front desk, restaurant, pool and room service. 4. Great pool. Pretty shallow so very safe for kids. Pool floaters were also available, which makes it more fun. 5. Entire resort area is filled with trees and hammocks.

    This is a cute, family-run guesthouse. You are right in the centre of local life here, in the fishermen's cottages with local people going about their lives all around. Our room had AC, balcony, kettle and drinking water provided. Excellent value for money. The owner was friendly and helpful with everything. From here you can walk to the beach in one minute and to many cafes and restaurants within five minutes. The famous sights of the city and close by for walking also.

    We loved the warm welcome from the hosts and also since it was Valentine's Day they offered this candle light dinner with music and we loved the food and hosts making us feel comfortable. The place is very quite and soo peaceful. All you can hear is birds chirping (since they have a huge bird cage) and you can take a walk inside it as well. The rooms are super clean and comfortable and shapes of the individual rooms are soo vintage. We stayed in the Arch shaped houses. Overall, a lovely and romantic getaway place.

    Bodhiwoods is like an oasis in a dusty plain. With the very hot and dry season with dust everywhere, it was wonderful to arrive in a lush green garden with the resort bungalows spread out under the trees. Very well located for temple & monument visits. We enjoyed the restaurant and the very friendly service.
