"Nice place to retreat away from the crowd. You need a boat to get out and go anywhere from the hotel. Walk to lake very quickly and easy. Lake is full of Chilka dolphins and visible every time we went out. Rooms and bathrooms are very basic and nothing short of a resort like. Managed by local village people who were very friendly and welcoming and offered home cooked local cuisine every day which was delicious. Place is very simple and good for a day or two at best."
