Our stay at Gokarna was underwhelming. We had selected it based on their website that included a description of biking but when we arrived, there was no organized biking activities. The rooms were fine but a bit overpriced (although the beds were very comfortable). The food was unremarkable and expensive by local standards. Breakfast was not even set up when we went at 7AM. The pool was on the cold side and then charged 1800 rupees extra to use the sad little jacuzzi in the change room. There was a very noisy wedding on site the night we were there that kept us up. It can be challenging to get a taxi to the location. The golf course is beautiful though.
This was our second stay at Kantipur Village. We enjoyed our stay so much last time that we decided to book again during this trip. As last time the service was great and the food was delicious. We specially enjoyed their tawa roti with chicken curry. Their breakfast is always on point. Nischal took care of all our requests during breakfast. He was very polite and accommodating. Vijay and Rukesh was helpful during checking in and out of our stay.
