The resort is located right on the beautiful beaches of the Indian Ocean, making it a fantastic getaway spot. The luxury villa we stayed in was spacious and had all the amenities we needed, but the dining experience could improve as it felt overpriced. The facilities were fun, especially the pool, but the service was a bit lacking during our stay.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The resort has incredible amenities with a wonderful pool and direct beach access. The spacious rooms were a plus, but I faced issues with the air conditioning, which disrupted my family's comfort. While some aspects, like dining, exceeded my expectations, the service lacked consistency. Overall, it had potential but left room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The location is fantastic, with private beach access and well-maintained surroundings, but the service was not up to par and the quality of dining was disappointing for a place of this reputation. The amenities were okay, yet the value for money was questionable due to the issues with service and food quality.

My stay at Chariot Beach Resort was truly delightful. The expansive property with a private beach and well-maintained amenities made it a perfect getaway.

However, the restaurant prices felt a bit too high for what was offered, and I wish there were more affordable dining options available.
