| said: We stayed at the Sagara for 2 weeks last February. Great little place (apart from the steps)! Small family run hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Fairly basic but comfortable and spotlessly clean.
Excellent rooms, large and airy with ceiling fan and great air-conditioning. Huge balcony with great sunset views (through hundreds of palm trees & resident crows). Fridge & cable TV in room, and good large bathroom. If you want water/beers etc for the fridge, just ask and it will appear.
Tiny swimming pool up near roof level, having said that we were often only ones there, so no problem. The manager did show us plans for new pool at ground level, don't know if this has happened yet. Pool towels available if you ask.
Little open air breakfast room/restaurant on the roof above the pool, surrounded by palm trees. Basic breakfast provided, fresh juice, tea/coffee,toast & jam, but extras available. Lunch/evening menu looked good & very reasonable, but don't tend to eat 'in'.
Safety deposit available at reception, also internet access (both small charge). Kathakhali show arranged every fortnight, very good, about £10 including traditional banana leaf dinner & a drink.
Great location right at the lighthouse end of the beach, a short way up a very steep hill, literally a few minutes down to the beach but harder on the way back! You can also walk down and back from the rear of the hotel, through windy pathways which brings you out towards the centre of Lighthouse beach. The only drawback are the steps surrounding and inside the hotel (its built into the hillside so no avoiding them). It can be a little daunting in that heat, having said that, as long as your'e reasonably fit, it shouldn't be a problem.
We had a great holiday there, and I would thoroughly recommend it (unless you have walking difficulties of course)! By the way, we left in the middle of the night for our flight home, and a cast of thousands suddenly appeared to wave us off, so make sure you've got plenty of rupees left!
