My stay at Dream Beach Resort was enjoyable, with clean and comfortable rooms and a friendly manager who went above and beyond to assist us. The complimentary breakfast was filling, and the short walk to the beach was a major plus. However, the need for better ventilation in the room and the limited view from the window were slight drawbacks. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially considering the friendly atmosphere and the effort from the staff.

I had a wonderful stay at Dream Beach resort, where Sandeep and his team made me feel right at home. The rooms were spotless and very well kept, which made for a comfortable experience. The resort's close proximity to the beach was fantastic, but it would have been nice if the windows opened up more for ventilation. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for its affordability and cleanliness, even though there may be some cheaper alternatives.
