“Here, you're steps from Pallava Beach in a fisherman's colony, experiencing Mahabalipuram from a different angle. The owners are particularly hospitable, and the rooms are reliably clean and comfortable. It's an affordable base for exploring the area's historical sites, but the real draw is the location itself.”
