PURNI HOTEL AND RESORTS

Purni Hotel and resort, Tajpur' was our stay for a quick holiday of 3 nights. Direction: If you are coming by bus, you can get down at the crossroads where the road to Tajpur beach starts from Kolkata-Digha NH, near Balisai. You can talk to the resort for arranging auto/toto/car as per your choice. From that junction, the resort is almost 6km. Most of that road was in a very bad shape during Jan'21. Arranging pick up from Digha bus stand/station is costly and subject to availability. Location: It is right on the road that runs parallel to tajpur beach, leading to the main beach-front near the light house/market. Almost all other resorts are present on this road only. Most of the resorts are concentrated on a particular stretch of the road and a by-road leading to the beach. Purni resort comes a lot before that congested area. Distance from beach: Unlike Mandarmani, every stay at Tajpur will require some amount of walking to the beach. From Purni, at day time, one can use a shortcut to beach through the "jhaubon" inbetween the road and the beach. It takes less than 5 minutes of walking. But after dark that road is not viable. The usual road then will take close to 15 minutes. Property: It's a cosy resort with rooms on three sides around a decorated lawn. Entire property is well-maintained, neat and clean. Parking space is available within the compound. Rooms: This resort is not a huge one. Around 10 rooms are there. If you have seen photos of their rooms on some booking website...they are very much like that. Food: They have a restaurant within the compound. You have a choice of booking complementary breakfast, lunch and dinner adjusted within the tariff. Or you can go and have as you like...that way, you can have more options. Food is exceptionally tasty, reasonably priced, freshly made. You will feel that a lot of care has gone into making each dish. It's a typical home-style bengali menu, with enough choices. You should not expect a 5 star buffet type of menu. Like for lunch, they have a basic veg thali (rice, dal, alu bhaja, 1 dry sabji, chatni n papad). Along with that you can order from few choices of fish, chicken/mutton or egg etc. Only thing is that you have to inform them about your choice of menu well in advance. They will ask your choices of lunch while you are having breakfast and so on. And they are happy to oblige your choices. USP: USP of this resort is hospitality, cleanliness and food (for our taste buds). From arrival to departure their hospitality was very honest, humble, very welcoming...it's a really feel-good factor here. Everything is clean, well maintained. Even the kitchen is spotless, lawn is in good care. As far as the food is concerned, if you have taste buds that adore simple 'ruti r pathar jhol' (bengali style mutton curry with light gravy) in dinner...you will love it here. The cook worked with his heart, we ate with the same enthusiasm. It was a short refreshing trip. Our stay in this resort had made it even better. We would love to be back here.

It is a very nice resort for staying at Tajpur. Beach is a 5 - 7 mins walk from here. The staff are very humble, helpful. Even @10 pm my three year old son was very much eager to go to the beach. Even,there was no light , after requesting once one of the staff took us to the beach.As it was drizzling , he took an umbrella, bigger than normal in size, saved my son from getting drenched and guided us with a lots of patience, holding a torch continuously to our help in the dark path. The food was excellent. They even cooked a minimum oil dish for my three year old son... The welcome drink, the staff waiting at the door even though we we were too late to arrive...I am far more than satisfied with their service...

Except the quality of food, needs to improve in all departments - communication about items that were part of the complimentary breakfast wasn't clear, and some items were separately charged for, lot of power-cuts and voltage fluctuations all throughout the day, no use paying for the AC, separate charges were taken as part of demand made by the local authorities, not part of the bill, wifi doesn't work most of the time, only one towel provided in a double bed accommodation, no toothpaste provided, bathroom cleaning not regular, TV doesn't work, overall waste of money and a disappointing experience.

The behaviour of the staff was Excellent. Property is quiet close to the Beach. But the area is still under- developed. It becomes very silent after the Sunset. No people at all in streets. Anyways in ONE WORDS " A QUIET& A PEACEFUL PLACE FOR YOUR VACCINATION " A hassle - check in Experience & Privacy. The staffs was very jolly & had WARMLY WELCOMED us. They would go the distance, to make their Guests happy. A highly Recommended Resort in TAJPUR.
