Bonjour Bonheur Ocean Spray Resort - Resort hotel in Manjakuppam - Villupuram, India

Recently had the pleasure of staying at here with my family. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by warm and friendly staff who made me feel welcome and at ease. My room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The resort itself is beautiful, with well maintained lush gardens, a sparkling pool, beach access and a variety of amenities to choose from. We spent 2 days there relaxing by the pool and exploring the surrounding area. Morning breakfast at the resort was also excellent. Had the opportunity to dine at hotel for a dinner, offering a unique and delicious menu but felt it was expensive. Overall, I had an amazing stay at the hotel with my family and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation with family.

Rooms are good and spacious but the basic amenities like refrigerator, dryer are missing. Not very well maintained... A bit poor communication between the staff for room service... Overall experience was good but can improve...the property is beautiful.

The restaurant I found quite good and service is top notch. Veg items are much better than non veg. Ambiance of the restaurant also peaceful and good. The restaurant quiet close to beach so atmosphere is also very relaxing.specifically I want to mention Rishitha name here she is really took care ourselves , very polite and calm in nature. She really provides top notch service to us.

I recently visited this place will point out cons followed by pros 1. The product toiletries are very cheap quality felt soap like used and wrapped again 2. The lake around the property would have been cleaned and maintained well 3.Building bit old so you can see damages in room floor 4. Hygiene would have maintained even more for the cost they charging Pros 1. Complimentary food have decent varieties and good taste 2. Service and hospitality is very good 3. Swimming pool maintained good. **Restaurant within the resort is too expensive for the food[quality and quantity] they provide.**

Went for vacation with wife and one yr old daughter. Room is good but service is worst. We need to remind them 2-3 times when we order something. We faced many issues, below are the details: * ordered veg food for lunch on the day of check in, received non veg starter. Food we ordered was at 1.30 but received food at 3.45 after following up 2-3 times and shouting on the manager. Even the bill they charge is very high, not even a 5 star hotel charges so much. * milk for baby is provided for free that doesn't mean they can give after 1hr of ordering. Every time we need to call them twice to remind. * manager told he will come and apologise/discuss but he dint turn up. *Food they charge is very high. when the resort is far from city it is important for them to keep reasonable price for food. * price of spa is also more . * even after complaining so much they have not considered to come and discuss about it. * atleast while leaving they need to ask for the experience or take rating to improve themself. I do not recommend for this resort

Excellent place for vacation. Lovely location. Beautiful views inside the resort and the rooms are great. Food quality and taste are top notch. Love to be back soon.

We recently stayed at Ocean Spray Resort and it was a terrible experience. The rooms were decently sized but as soon as we entered it had a weird smell. Though that was addressed soon the artificial water body surrounding the rooms was extremely dirty and had clearly not been cleaned since long. There were all sorts of debris floating on the water which was visible from our balcony and didn't make for the best view. The breakfast spread was very bad and not refilled on time. We couldn't find plates, cutlery, glasses etc on all three days, most of the food stuff was over and despite asking repeatedly were not refilled. Filter coffee was awful which is a surprise as how can someone go wrong with filter coffee in Tamil Nadu? Room service experience was pathetic, our friend's family had placed an order for dinner around 8 pm and were told 2 hours later after 10 pm that their order will not be delievered and they had to eat the buffet spread which was very expensive and terrible in taste. Room service was not accessible and the phone would keep ringing most of the times without any response. It is a shame that such a huge and grand property is not maintained well and managed so poorly. Overall an expensive stay and a horrible experience.

Stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days and below is my review along with the experience of some fellow tourists who i happened to meet there. 1. Location - this is far away from the tourist locations and in a remote village. Check for yourself in Google maps. 2. Beach access - they have a gate in the back that is nowhere connected to the beach. You will have to walk from that back gate for atleast 10 minutes to access the beach. You will be stared at from the villagers while you walk through both during the day and morning. 3. After passing through the village walk, you will access one of the dirtiest beach side but I won't blame anyone here as it's a side where fishermen go with their boats and have all their boats and equipments spread across. And, after all this you can't get into the beach as it's very steep, so not safe. 4. Food - It's takes an hour for them to deliver the food in their restaurant itself and when it's not even crowded. Heard other residents complain about the same. It actually took them 1 hour to deliver 2 rotis and a chicken curry. Their buffet in the morning is always cold. Again saw some residents complain and everytime you will have tell them that the food is over and wait while holding the plates. You can't complain to the waitress as they easily blame the chef and then expect them to stare at you for the reminder of the stay :( . By the way, food is expensive but still affordable. 5. Swimming pool - really good swimming pool but they can be used only between 7am to 7pm and if you are lucky as we were, we couldn't use them until 9 am in the morning as they were cleaning it. And it gets extremely sunny post 10 and until 5. I have been to a lot of resorts that never had any restrictions. Didn't understand the logic of timings for swimming pool. 6. Property - extremely big and you can can wander aimlessly, so while walking you can actually start thinking why the hell did you even book this resort. Their outdoor games are extremely expensive. 7. Bright side is that their lifts are extremely fast but the numbers are a bit messed up but you will learn quickly. I typically don't write bad reviews but this one definitely deserved it and it's nowhere close to a 4 star ! I saw them giving special attention to some guests, maybe that gets them the positive reviews but I fell for the positive reviews and booked it :(
