Great Stay with Beautiful Terrace View – Just Wish the Beach Was Cleaner. Unfortunately we didn’t take any pictures of the room (we were busy exploring the surroundings). We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and had a very comfortable experience overall. The room was clean and cozy, with fully functional Ac and heaters which made our stay pleasant. The management was responsive and took good care of any requests we had during our stay. They also offer parking space, which is a big plus. The terrace – it's a great place to relax and enjoy drinks while taking in the stunning beach view. You can clearly hear the sound of the waves, which was incredibly soothing and made for a peaceful atmosphere. However, reaching the property from the main road can be a bit tricky as the access path is narrow – smaller cars can manage, but larger vehicles might find it difficult. Also, while the beach looks beautiful from the terrace, it's unfortunately not well-maintained. It was littered with plastic covers and beer bottles, and as a couple, we didn't feel entirely safe spending time or playing there. That said, the hotel itself felt safe and well-maintained. If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable stay with a scenic view and good hospitality, this is a solid choice.

A Hidden Gem in White Town – Lia’s Back House, Pondicherry Lia’s Back House is an absolute delight tucked away in the serene lanes of White Town, Pondicherry. From the moment you walk in, you’re embraced by a charming blend of vintage architecture and cozy, artistic interiors. The space is thoughtfully decorated — minimal yet soulful, with touches that reflect Pondy’s French-Tamil essence. The rooms are clean, spacious, and bathed in natural light. It feels less like a hotel and more like a friend’s beautiful beachside home. The little garden patio is perfect for a lazy morning coffee or quiet evening chats. Lia herself (if you’re lucky to meet her) adds a warm personal touch that makes the stay even more memorable. Just a short walk from the promenade and local cafés, the location is perfect for slow travelers who want to soak in the Pondicherry vibe. If you’re looking for peace, character, and comfort — Lia’s Back House is a must-stay.
