Le Pondy Beach Resort offers a stunning and serene getaway right on the beach, with beautiful surroundings and attentive service. The rooms, especially the luxury pool villas, are spacious and aesthetically pleasing, but some sea view rooms could be a bit cramped. However, the dining experience can be pricey and doesn't quite live up to expectations. Overall, it's a lovely place for relaxation and enjoyment by the sea, though there may be some minor service quirks to deal with.

I had a pleasant stay at this sprawling resort in Pondicherry. The pool villa was spacious and perfect for our family, offering a good variety of food during meals. However, I did notice service inconsistency, especially during my initial reception. It's a great place for families with kids thanks to the available activities.

The resort has a nice location with direct access to a fairly good private beach, and the facilities for kids to play are a plus. However, the rooms are quite dated and need an upgrade. The dining experience is inconsistent, and the service lacks coordination. Overall, it's decent for a family getaway if you're looking for a relaxed holiday without too many excursions.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location is great, with easy access to a nice private beach, and the facilities like the pool are decent. However, the rooms felt quite dated and in need of maintenance, which was a letdown for the price. Service was acceptable, but could definitely use improvements, especially at the restaurant.
