Amazing experience
Pros:

The hotel, as named, is located on the promenade, and the sea-facing room we stayed in was a treat for the eyes. The sit out in front of the hotel was serene. The room was very well appointed and kept extremely clean. We loved the three balconies the room had and the way the glass doors had wooden panels instead of curtains. The service levels were excellent, with very little waiting time for our requests. The view of the sunrise from the room and their restaurant, 'Bay of Buddha', was the icing on the cake.

Amazing Trip
Pros:

We visited Blueline Restaurant in Pondicherry yesterday for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is in a prime location, and the restaurant was fully packed, which shows its popularity.

The food was delicious, and we had one of the best pizzas ever at Blueline.

Despite the heavy rush, Manager Kamini handled everything exceptionally well. She was very polite, warm, and welcoming. We noticed her constantly moving around, checking on guests, and managing the crowd smoothly with a smile. Her dedication and commitment truly impressed us—she is a perfect example of someone who genuinely loves her job and gives her 100%.

We would also like to appreciate the chef for preparing such an amazing pizza—truly outstanding work.

The restaurant staff were polite and always smiling, which made us feel comfortable, almost like home. However, we felt the team was slightly understaffed. At one point, only two waiters were handling around 40 guests, which is a lot. They were working very hard, but due to this, service was a bit delayed & slow on table. Calling for assistance took time, but it was clearly not the staff’s fault—they were doing their best under pressure and short staff felt.

We would suggest increasing manpower, as the service quality is already excellent and can become even better with more staff support.

Overall, it was a great experience, and we truly enjoyed our visit in pondicherry.

One of the best hotel ever I stayed, infrobt of beach. They have their own bag shop as well.Staffs are like my gems for the hotel, I noticed the staff took care of other guests kid ver well. And they used come and talk to me always and checking whether I am comfortable or not , which made me really felt like I am in my home. I should mention Neelavathi , shiva , Martin and Sneha .
Anyways left from the hotel today, we visit again soon.
