Toshali Sands Puri - Hotel in Puri, Mohanipur - Puri, India

Amazing environment. Wonderful food. Thoughtfully designed. Far far away from everything else in Puri. Experience wildlife very closely. Other than the overwhelming abundance of mosquitoes in the cottages, everything else deserves a five-star!

Likes: -Cottages are great. -Close to beach -The premises are clean and well decorated. -Food is slightly expensive but exceptional in taste. -Service staff are humble and prompt. Dislikes: - Parking space needs to be improved and managed by resort. Currently it's the responsibility of owners. -Check-in and Check-out time is not followed strictly. Despite checking in late (11am), we had to wait for half an hour to get our rooms ready. But while checking out we were constantly followed up to vacate the room (9am) despite being on a Monday with less check-ins.

We were a group of 20 ladies staying here from 21 to 24. Though location, food, service is fine, they have lawns next to tourist rooms that are given for weddings which creates huge noise pollution and chaos between 9 pm to 12.30 am. This leads to difficulties to rest, sleep, talk. During our entire stay, there were these noise pollutions in the morning and late night. So beware if you are looking for peace and tranquility, it's far from that. The meaning of scenic resort is completely defied due to wedding noise pollution.

A resort with decent rooms and good food would be a understatement for this resort. Service/Hospitality should be appreciated and I would rate it as the best in this part. If you want to enjoy your holidays and relax in a green environment, then this is the place. You can enjoy the beach which is 2 kms across the road and for which the resort provides shuttle service. Be it Sports activities or pool activities or events can be enjoyed with the proactive support staffs. Restaurants serves variety of cuisine throughout and breakfast with very goos spread. A property which gives best experience in terms of hospitality, food and stay.

Experience was Not as expected. 3 star as the floor tiles were very old and not clean, toilet was very old, poor condition and needs renovation. No welcome drinks was served. Otherwise everything else was fine, breakfast was great.

Good things about the hotel - The gardens, children's area and pool are well maintained. Restaurant food and morning breakfast is excellent. There is a shuttle that takes you to a very clean and beautiful beach. Bad - Reception desk have no clue how to manage check in and checkouts. It's like a fish market, customers crowding the reception desk for requests. We arrived at 2pm and they still didn't have rooms ready, so we waited another hour. The receptionist said that checkout is 8am but we didn't have room even by 3pm. Basically the reception people are not professional. They are courteous but they have no clue what to do to solve the issue. By the time we were ready to go to beach, the beach shuttle was shutting down. The beach is too far for walking for families. The ugly - Depending on your luck any of these things might not work in the room. For us, we had two rooms and many things didn't work - ac remote, tv remote, room telephone, fridge that didn't cool at all. The sofa in one room was dirty, drapes were dirty. The wifi keeps dropping, so you need to reconnect using the voucher code again and again. Service was prompt when we called them but even they couldn't fix all things that were not working. This hotel is pretty old so it is likely the best days are well in the past. They are making new buildings without caring for the quality of existing infrastructure.

This was one of the best property for a family stay in Puri .. We stayed for 2 days and had a wonderful time . The whole staff thought was amazing and very supportive... Service was quick and amazing. I would surely love to to visit this place again if I am in puri . Thank you Toshali for the hospitality.

It is a village resort located along Puri Konark Marine drive. Puri Jagannath temple is 9 km from the resort. The resort has access to a nearby beach under the forest department which is very good neat and clean. Also very quiet and serene. They have cottages and normal rooms. Some cottages are average. Pool is good and perhaps one of the largest in Puri. Staff is cordial.
