RNS Residency, Murudeshwara, Oct '12

Amazing place to stay in Murudeshwara, especially if you get a sea-view room. We stayed for a couple of nights here and had a pleasant experience. Insist for a sea-facing room and you will definitely feel the difference. I guess, this is only the best option to stay with your family in Murudeshwara. Initially, we had booked the Naveen Beach Resort, (through nivalink ) which is very close to this resort. But, we were welcomed by huge bugs (dead and alive) inside the room and the bathrooms. Even, the 2nd room was nothing different from the first one. Since, we were aware that the RNS is also managed by the same group, we decided to move in there. The RNS Residency is a much better option when compared to the Naveen Beach, in terms of food, location, room, and services. Of course, a major attraction of the place itself is the Shiva temple and His statue, which faces the Arabian Sea. The Raja Gopura of the temple is totally endearing.


In terms of food, the hotel can include South-Indian preparations for lunch and dinner, considering that there are a lot of devotees and tourists visiting the place from the southern part of India. South-Indian-vegetarian cuisine has a lot to offer, and such restaurants must undoubtedly include them in the menu. Overall, the food was OK and the staff was also quite courteous. The swimming pool and the telephone were the non-functional amenities in the resort. Do not miss out the water sports in the beach. Suggest, you go early in the mornings to beat the heat and the crowd.
