A hotel review - Le Waterina Boutique Hotel

Quiet surrounding and beautiful beach

They do not have bath tub ... only shower
This was the same room we stayed .. very spacious and affordable.. The kids were running all over the place :-)

The Sky Deck - We had breakfast here .. it was very windy and eventhough it was nearing 11.00 am and the sun was shining bright .. it was not hot at all.

Swimming Pool, next to Sky Deck

My family and I went to Chennai in February to visit relatives.. We visited wajju bhaiyya's family and also Arshad's youngest uncle and his grandmother. The children had a great time playing on the roof top with the cousins whom they met for the first time. Samreen has grown tall and very intelligent since the last time I met her. Now she's 10 going on 11 .. such a brilliant young lady! Naureen looks up to her. Anyways, the visit to Chennai was brief and we spent the night at a 3 Star Hotel - Le Waterina Seaside Hotel which is located in Thiruvanmiyur, Kottivakam Beach, Chennai.Having breakfast with Daddy

It was just an overnight stop over but I wished that we could stay longer. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful! So here's some of review on the web regarding The Boutique Hotel. It is 4 km from the Crocodile Bank and 12 km from Chennai Central Railway Station. Anna International Airport is 15 km away. Waterina’s rooms come equipped with minibars and tea/coffee makers. Soundproofed rooms have trouser presses and offer flat-screen TVs. Rooms offer views of Bay of Bengal or the garden.

Guests can work out in the fitness centre or head for a relaxing massage. A concierge desk takes care of guests’ requests and needs. Sightseeing arrangements can be made at the tour desk.

Authentic Indian cuisine is served at Zaica, while offering panoramic sea views. Alternatively, drinks can be enjoyed in the bar and lounge. Room service is also available.

The food - Well being asians .. we do not have issues or problems eating authentic Indian food .. we have loads of 'em in Malaysia so in India .. its just the same. The price is quite cheap for a 3 Star Hotel and we're not that picky about food .. so to us it was DELICIOUS!
This menu is for ordering in .. if you want English breakfast .. just go to the Sky Deck. You'll get sausages, toasts, cereals, a variety of eggs, fresh fruits, juices, yougurt, chapati and dals.

For lunch, it costs us less than RM 40 for all four of us...
The menu ... hmm what should we eat .. then 30 minutes later ...

Delicious fried chicken and fries, chapatis and curries and white rice with lentil dals and vegetables.

Midnight - we were all tired but when entered the room, we were overwhelmed by the room.. we had a very good night sleep!

In summary, the staff was courteous, helpful and efficient. The hotel and the surrounding area was quite clean. The food was good .. again this may differ from person to person due to their taste buds ;-). Excellent ambiance .. especially the suite that we got. We were tired after a long journey so the first impression after arriving at the room at aroun 12 midnight was .. a gaping mouth .. it exceeds our expectation as we were comparing a 3 star hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Room service was good and on time delivering the food. Housekeeping was also good. We requested taxi last minute to go to the Chennai International Airport and we only need to wait in the room until they call us. Overall stay was good .. we will definitely come again! Yes I will recommend this hotel to my family and friends.
