Family Fun Activities

I truly enjoyed the range of sports facilities at Indeco Mahabalipuram. The large playground was fantastic for the kids, and having a cricket pitch and volleyball court allowed us to enjoy some quality family time. We also appreciated the variety of indoor games like carrom and snooker, which kept everyone entertained.

Delicious Buffet Experience

The dining experience at Indeco was quite enjoyable. I had lunch there, and the buffet offered a good choice of mainly south Indian dishes that were both tasty and filling. With a price of 450 per person, it felt like great value for money, and I would certainly consider dining here again!
