Aqua Marina Drive Inn

I loved this hotel. Best for family and friends. Food is awesome. Service is awesome. The behaviour of all the staff is awesome. I would definitely love to go back to this hotel.

Very good place for staying night, ambience is very nice, mandarmoni main market area is very near hardly 5 min walking distance
adjacent to main sea beach
they have complimentary buffets breakfast with at least 8 to 10 different items which is good
but food quality for lunch and dinner needs to be improved, not up to the mark.otherwise it is very good hotel to stay.

Negative stars from me. Not sure how come so many positive reviews are there, maybe it is one of the oldest in the area therefore so many reviews but don’t be fooled by the quantity as quality is zero!
Pro- Good location
Cons- 1. Food available only for Non vegetarians.
2. Price is of 5 star hotel and facility is of a 1 star!
3. Swimming pool has strict timings. Description mentions hot water in swimming pool but not available.
4. Games room closed so no way to spend time at the hotel, not a resort apart from sitting in the room or in the garden area.
5. Staff behaviour pathetic. The restaurant staff thinks they are the boss and threatens to go and complain at the reception! If you get Souryadeep / subhajeet (something of this sort) as your attender straight away deny service from him because you will definitely spoil your vacation mood!
Never recommending to anyone. Even if all the hotels are booked better reschedule your plan rather than coming here!

It is the one of the best places to stay (couple friendly) in Mandarmani, near to the beach with private beach & swimming pool inside. The rooms are mostly air-conditioned, well maintained, near to the beach. It arranges bonfire if asked so. The staffs are very well behaved & polite. It provides room service of food items. One may have foods in restaurant & in lawn too. The service is punctual & hussle free. It cultivates various vegetables in its compound & there is a small playground in the hotel compound. The foods & rooms are bit expensive but service is superb. It arranges shower after coming out of sea in lawn to get rid of the sands

A great place to unwind in the coastal town of Mandarmani. Aqua Marina Drive Inn is a large complex with direct access to the beach. Stayed in the cottage room (109), which is spacious, the bathroom is neat & clean, the room offers a view of the sea and the lawn. The complimentary breakfast is good with minimum options. The food is delicious and the quantity is sufficient for two. The swimming pool is nice & clean, also equipped with an option of hot tub. The staffs are polite and courteous. Parking facility of 10-12 cars is available.
Overall a very good place to stay in Mandarmani.

We have taken the cottage, rooms r spacious, services r good, food is yummy. In all perfect destination for weekend.

Good but not best. Managers and security behaviour not good because they can stop you if one guest is taking checkin inside then you've to wait outside if you get entry from car.

Place is good for Mandarmani visit. A beach side resorts appx 7 Km away from Mandermani Mohona with amnesties like swimming pool, nice restaurant, lawn, sea facing rooms etc.
One thing I felt that this place is kind of overpriced (room rent, swimming pool costume, restaurant foods)

It was a great experience. Date of Visit 17.8.2021 to 19.08.2021
Deviding my review into two parts:
1. Awesome Location. Centre of Mandarmani.
2. Adjucent to Sea Beach.
3. Rooms are neat and clean.
4. Awesome swiming pool.
5. Delicious Food. Crab Masala and Mixed Fried rice a must try item.
6. Courteous staff.
7. Awesome sea facing garden to relax and enjoy in the evening.

Cons:

1. Kitchen off time 2.30 pm to 6pm and in this time u wont get even tea also.
2. Room size could have been better.
3. No electric kettle supplied.
4. No almirah in the room.
5. No water dispenser hot/cold. Each time u have ask and wait for the same.

Over all its a great deal. Dont hesitate to opt for this

Very rude. Prior to booking when enquired about the rooms, first they charged more and when I mentioned that in Make my trip the prices are less, they said "Go and book from there". They should understand that they are providing the service and we are paying for it, we are not getting it for free. I am glad that I didn't book this hotel. If their attitude is like this prior to booking, God knows how this will be if we reach there. Charges could be managed by not the attitude

Good infrastructure, slightly costly staff is gruff and arogant, very unhelpful for no reason. Food is good NOT Recommended, -1 star for kitchen not being open even for tea from 3-5

Good resort for a weekend gateway with family or friends. It has direct beach access, lawn facing the beach, swimming pool and an under construction restaurant just by the beach. One is currently operational though.
Staff is very amicable and scores high on hospitality.

Mandarmani is beautiful and if you stay in aqua marina the beauty effect will be enhanced. Beach is just next to the garden of the hotel. You can relax having sunbath or your children can play in the garden with sea shore in front. The property is very well maintained. Staff behaviour is so good. They always treat you with smile. Pool is nice. View from room is fantastic. Bed quality bathroom set up, starter kit to ac and plug point - I liked each and every aspect of aqua marina team. So perfect 5 star. Highly recommended.

Only one advice: size of pomphret fish should be improved as per rate.

If mandarmani is the place where you find the nature so real.then staying in this hotel would make it surreal. After lots of online search.found this resort.and won't regret it.definitely one of the best in mandarmani. The room was pretty decent.the balcony providing the jaw-dropping view of the sea (well that's the beauty of a sea-facing resort). Other things which impressed me the most was the professionalism shown by the staff (most important factor indeed), a swimming pool, an okay-ish car parking facility, as well as an impressive open-space park to hangout near the sea with few swings for the kids and of course the amazing food provided by the hotel which you can order while getting entrapped to the sea view. Trust my words.it would be one of the most relaxing tours you would ever have!

Food is good, but staff behaviour not favorable towards customers, dining there takes time nearly 30-40 minutes minimum expected time.

Excellent hotel and food was very delicious and location is also good, we went by cabs from kolkta by go24cabs and cab service and hotel both are just excellent

Good resort! Nice behaviour of staff and service personal. Overall wonderful for families to stay!
Tip: Go on weekdays and enjoy the serenity of mandarmani beach from this hotel

I always stay at this property whenever I visit Mandarmoni, a very decent place to stay. Opt for cottages, they are spacious, view is great. You can find local massage person in the evening, must try the back and foot massage, very refreshing one indeed. Food is always good here, I will recommend-
1. Crab Masala- A must eat item.
2. Butter chicken/kadhai chicken.
3. Fish finger- Must try.
4. Poori sabzi in breakfast.
Chinese items are not that good and can be avoided.
Parking is available inside the premises, and before check out you can get it cleaned at a nominal rate of 100. The staff are polite and prompt in service. Kids will love this resort as there is garden area to play with swimming pool and swings. You can spend the evening at leisure sitting on the sitting deck sipping your favourite drink and enjoying the breeze watching the beauty of darkness and splashes of water on the resorts wall. They can serve you dinner here. Also cottages have separate sitting area where you can sit and enjoy the morning sunrise. The beach feels like private one, as its just outside the resort boundary. There are water speed boats, be careful before opting for a ride in terms of safety.
Overall, certainly the best resort at Mandarmoni. Go for it.

Enjoyable ambience, with good friendly behavior of the staffs. Affordable rates with all possible amenities and well managed.
Senior management behavior is average and needs to be bit more customer friendly.

The price of rooms were affordable and and lesser than the other resorts. The swimming pool was clean and big, food was okayish, behaviour and staff communication was great, beach view was great.
