Hotels Near Saint John Baptist Church in Uttara Kannada

The stay was good. Have a big walking area, a dinning area and also direct access to the amazing beach. However, open area needs some maintenance. The rooms too were not up to the mark in terms of ambience.

We visited the resort post Christmas. Pros - Location, location, location - bang on the beach. Clean beach with white sand and no crowds The Superior room we stayed in, was nice, with a beach view. AC, hot water etc was functional. There are taps at the entry to the rooms to wash off the sand. The open air dining area overlooking the beach is nice. Service is good & prompt, food is good & freshly made. There are adequate sites nearby for sight seeing. There are a couple of good restaurants in Kumta offering local fare. Cons - Food does not include local cuisine, only North Indian fare. Dining tables & chairs could have been cleaner. Parking area is not paved & cars get dirty quickly with mud. There is ongoing construction at the resort.

Stayed there for 4 Days and 4 Nights. My experience was mixed with below Pros and Cons Pros: 1. Location, location and location. Its literally right on the beach with a walking time of less than a minute. Beach is secluded making it more like a private beach, 2. Property is beautiful and quite spread out. 3. Greenery all around and quite peaceful, anyone wants to chill out away from city life. 4. Service was decent. Though with limited people, they tried everything to make your stay pleasant. Cons: 1. There are insect problems (of all kinds) once the sun goes down. Furthermore, since it rained during our stay, the problem increased manifold. 2. Rooms (stayed in Super Deluxe AC Cottages) are decent and spacious but no regular clean up, more so the bathrooms. 3. Food tastes well, specially the fish items but breakfast needs huge improvement with at least some variety. 4. Approach road is patchy, more so at night, with no street lighting.

The stay is offbeat and is located at a remote place which makes it very serene and close to nature. The staff are friendly, take care of all the needs on time. The only con is that you need to have your own vehicle to reach here. Purpose of these bamboo cottages is to be close to nature and hence there is no tv and wifi connection is also intermittent. However air-tel and jio both work reasonably here

Had a overnight stay at Lavender in May with extended family and we were in for a pleasant surprise as our expectations were quite less. We had booked 3 AC rooms each having 3 persons. At 2500 per day including tax (and no food), we felt it was value for money. What works: Location is top notch as it just next to NH77 . Back rooms have a nice view of the Konkan railway line as we see the trains slowing down as they approach the Honnavar railway station. Ample parking with trees which offer shade for the vehicles. No complimentary breakfast: This is actually good as you are not forced to eat at their restaurant. They next door Mai Kamat offers first class breakfast Food: Lunch is recommended to have here and they have a good Veg and non veg Thali options. The Anjal Tawa fry was excellent so were the chicken items. Rooms: Neat and clean and spacious with large windows Service- Quick checkin and checkouts Decent internet speed but can be improved What doesnt work and needs improvement No Room service Lunch took long time to service (but probably a good thing as it indicates that they are freshly prepared) No option for Preparing tea in room TV has limited channels subscribed Overall a nice experience and recommended to all if you are planning a day or 2 stopover at Honnavar.
