I had an incredible experience at Kaldan Samudhra! My cousin and his wife highly recommended KS, and I’m so grateful that they pointed me in the right direction. Everything was 100% on point: ambiance, amenities, food, location, service, and staff. If I didn’t have to fly back to the U.S., I would have extended my stay, but I’ll definitely be coming back here. Thank you Kaldan Samudhra for a blissful and amazing stay.

Great place, cleanest place I have found in India, but too far from other sites of interest. Only think there should be a two tier breakfast option, that is Continental and Full. As I’m not a big eater I found myself paying for a full breakfast when only having a bowl of cereal and a coffee!!! But others great place to stay.

We had an amazing two nights at Kaldan Samudhra! Amazing property, with excellent service. Santu in the restaurant took amazing care of us. But all the staff was very friendly and attentive. One of them even noticed that my son was reading a book and brought him a bookmark. The food was very good and the pool and amenities (gym, rec room) were fantastic as well. We will certainly plan a trip back here!
