Electricity Colony Holidays from AU$351

I recently spent 3 nights at the resort. Its BIGGEST USP is its location. The room i stayed in, was their cheapest and hence it had the bare necessities required. There are 3 types of rooms and they look well managed and am guessing basic again. The pool, though i never used, was clean. Tarun and his team are polite and helpful. He was in touch over text and call whenever required. Nearby activities: The beach is 90 seconds of walk and this beach is quiet and yet not as explored. The beach has 3 shacks and 4-5 restaurants. So after you come to the resort, you can change and head for dinner at a walking distance. There are a few shops in this lane and the main market is under 5 mins walk. I walked 2 kms and covered most of the market. The taxi and 2 wheeler stands are right outside, if needed.

The property was lovely - very idyllic and with plenty of great amenities. The staff were helpful and the food was delicious. However the surrounding area was so loud that the first night, it felt like we were in a club bathroom. Thankfully, the music goes down a lot at midnight allowing us to finally get some peace.

The staff at the hotel were without exception a delight. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always smiling. Our room was spacious and well fitted out and the pool and hotel itself were superbly designed with fascinating art and furnishings. The food was good but not outstanding. The piped music from the poolside was sometimes intrusive or on for too much of the day. Sometimes we had difficulty getting hot water from the overhead shower.

The hotel was about a ten minute walk to the main road. That wasn’t so bad. But the area has lots of construction so the road was not real clean or comfortable to walk in. However the hotel did provide a shuttle to the main road or beach.

I enjoyed my stay at the Lemon Tree hotel Amarante Beach Resort. I enojyed the short walk to the becah, the daily brunch and dinner service, the comfortable room, large pool and nearby shops in proximity to the hotel. I recommend Lemon Tree and would plan to stay at the chain of hotels on my next stay in India.
