The spacious and clean rooms, coupled with helpful staff, further enhance the overall experience, making it an ideal choice for beach lovers looking for a comfortable and well-situated stay.

Breakfast

The breakfast is often described as good, satisfying, rich and delicious with some guests noting that it is pure and reasonably good. Many appreciate the good variety and selection of food, particularly commending the inclusion of diverse, international options, even if they are simple. Festive dinners and the occasional excellent meal are also highlighted, adding value to the overall dining experience.

However, several guests note that the breakfast lacks variety and could benefit from more choices, including healthy and fresh options like fruits and vegetables. The offering is often described as monotonous and repetitive, which could become tiresome for longer stays. Breakfast is managed by an Indian restaurant, leading to a menu that may not cater to all dietary preferences, especially for non-Indian guests. Issues such as limited options, scarcity of items and poor quality in some instances are brought up repeatedly. Some even consider the breakfast insufficient and sometimes not varied enough to suit all tastes.

Despite these criticisms, the hotel staff is praised for their attentive service during breakfast. The overall dining experience could be improved by enhancing variety and quality, catering to a broader range of dietary preferences and addressing consistency issues in the breakfast menu.

However, there are recurring concerns about the lack of variety and the basic nature of the dinner options. Some guests felt that the food quality could be better with a few noting that the hot dishes seemed reheated from previous days. Additionally, the mandatory New Year gala dinner received criticism for being overpriced. The buffet could benefit from more variety and there are suggestions for improving the overall food offerings and sanitation, especially during tours.

Overall, while many guests enjoyed their dining experience at Kaani Grand Seaview, especially the delicious and tasty meals, there is room for enhancing the variety and quality of dinner options to meet guest expectations fully.
