Best of the best!!

Overall Shankara Parada is a nice place. Staff is very friendly, grounds were nice & location was perfect for all activities (Lipah Beach is a steep stairwell walk away). But outside of these here are my challenges with the property. There are only 2 units which have decent views. Each unit lacks a formal kitchen. The pillows I found to hard & not comfortable. Toughest time sleeping. Our unit (2 bedrooms) didn't have a place to comfortably sit. Lacked any living room comforts & our view to the ocean/sunrise was blocked by numerous trees. The only way to see the sunrise (which had a huge telephone pole in it) was where they serve breakfast (which we never experienced). Would I stay here again. Probably not. One caveat, which my family loved, was the puppy & mother dog who they wanted to take home...LOL... The property does require a lot of walking stairs so if you're open to getting in a few steps you might like it...

Great location. Very clean

Everything was great

Shankara Parada Villas has been a wonderful stay! Great location for a walk to the beach and restaurants. Our lovely room had a great view. The very friendly staff go above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying your stay. We had yummy breakfasts daily. We look forward to going back to stay.

Lovely villa with a nice view of the beach. Plenty of parking and 2 mins walk to the beach where you can snorkel directly.

The staff here could not be more helpful. The property sits on a hill overlooking the sea- the views are wonderful. The property itself is rather worn down, but the staff does an amazing job of maintaining cleanliness. If you have any mobility issues, this is not the place for you. The units are all up fairly steep stairs. There are warungs within walking distance, but the roads are in poor condition. You really need a scooter or a car to get around. There is no online taxi service, so the hotel had to reserve. Breakfast is fine, but they do not serve any other meals, and the little grocery store in walking distance has a limited selection

The staff here take care with the cleaning and the gardens and the pool is well looked after. The property overall all needs general maintenance and repair. We stayed in a two bedroom bungalow. Lots of steps. The accommodation was basic but large and clean. We had a lovely balcony with great views, birds, watching the fishing boats come in and out, and the sunset. The breakfast was average. The pool was great. No lunch or dinner service but a good choice of a few restaurants in the small village a few hundred meters away, the walk a little dark in places. They could do with a price list for local day trips and local taxis this would be helpful.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and very hospitable. Rooms were immaculate. Will be back in the future.

The views from this place are beautiful ! Lovely pool and good breakfast , Nice and clean . The only fault I found was the old towels were smelly when wet . Some new towels would be great !
