I had been to MTDC Ganpatipule in April 2011. The location of the resort is excellent. No other location could have been better as the resort is right on the beach. We were staying at the Super Deluxe Rooms/Cottages, which was facing the beach. The view from the balcony and the room was breath taking! It was an amazing experience sitting in the balcony and sipping coffee in the morning.
The rooms and the bathroom were clean. The bedsheets and the blankets were also clean. Th staff was quite diligent about cleaning the room everyday.
The resort has 2 restaurants, one is by the beach and the other one is near the reception. The food is decent and quite reasonable. But definitely not a great culinary experience!
The resort is right on the beach and it seems more like a private beach. The beach is white sand and extremely beautiful and very clean.
You can lounge on the beach for hours gazing at the sea or just sit on the beach and read a book.
The beach is safe to swim only during the high tide. Avoid swimming during low tide.
There isn’t much to do at Ganpatipule. You can visit the famous Ganesh temple which is right outside the MTDC resort. No scope for shopping! There are water sports at the resort.
All in all a very relaxing experience! I have enjoyed my stay at MTDC Ganpatipule a lot and definitely would like to go there again!
Room Tip: Super Deluxe rooms or the suite would be the best option. Avoid the Konkani Houses. If your budget is low go for Deluxe rooms. Please avoid NON AC rooms and ensure you stay only at the AC rooms. Staying in NON Ac rooms will ruin your stay!
