Villa Rivage | Rooms & Beach Access

We stayed in Villa Rivage for 2 nights on the Independence Day weekend. Sharing my honest feedback to help others.Pros:1. Superb location, beach is just 2 mins walk, and located in the heart of White Town. All the renowned cafes are few mins walk away.2. The staffs (front office, housekeeping etc.) are awesome, very polite and helpful.Cons:1. Overpriced, we booked and paid ₹ for 2 nights, which we felt was on the higher side.2. The rooms are not well maintained, upon arriving we noticed bed bugs on the mattresses provided. But the staffs were truly helpful to immediately replace the mattresses with white sheets, and mop the floor with disinfectant.3. We expected at least a hair dryer, and few more hangars with the tariff we paid.The property management need to work on these so that this hotel becomes a renewed one in White Town. Cheers!

Villa Rivage is located very near the Promenade beach/Rock beach. It's near Chitra's restaurant, Mira and Villa Shanti Restaurant. The location is really nice. The hotel has all the basic facilities, rooms are clean, behavior of all the staffs are really good and courteous. They provide the breakfast, though it's chargeable, not complimentary. But the hotel doesn't provide lunch or dinner. We have ordered tea twice a day, initially they mentioned it was chargeable, but they made it complimentary at the time of checkout. Breakfast quality is good too. Though hotel is clean but the building is a bit old, regular maintenance needed. Bathroom taps have rust, those should get changed, ventilation should be better. Overall it was a nice stay for us. We can go there again if we visit Pondicherry.

I have stayed in villa rivage before. this time we chose room option for 3 adults and dissatisfied but we had a great stay and great rooms. this time it was old room and the electronics were not satisfactory.

Great location!!! Beach is just a minute walk. Staffs are very co-operative. But proper maintenance is required. Overall good with all basic amenities.
