Taj Fishermans Cove

A great place for a party - this is a beach resort on the famous ECR. Its probably is five star in terms of the accomodation - the villas are beautifully lined up in the beach. I have heard the conventional rooms are no less. Since I have not stayed ever but have had a lot of clients staying, they have all given mostly positive feedback.

We have held a lot of corporate parties here and the place can withstand a crowd even in excess of 300 easily (they have a separate place on the side that can take a party with big crowds). It certainly does not come cheap but bulk bookings also encourage some good deal negotiations. They provide the complete package usually from DJ to games to food to drinks! Beach volleyball and football plus other sea sports are options for the activity thirsty office goer.

Other than that, if you are on a romantic couple, then the resort offers you a nice cande light dinner facility. The beautiful beach near the fag end of the resort offers some of the best moonlit beach walks possible in chennai! (Tip: You dont need to come into the resort to do this moonlit beachwalk, you can park your car away from the resort as well. You need to pay 20 Rs. for entering the Kovalam village jurisdiction - which is still cheaper than maybe a drink that you may have to buy for entering the resort)

On the negative side, its probably a bit too expensive for a buffet dinner. Vegetarians may find lesser variety than the non-veggies- food anyway is not a differentiating factor - its just above average. (Tip: They supposedly have an exotic sea food variety that people may love) Its of course on the ECR and well into the ECR at that, so its does take a long drive from the city, that too after the toll bridge, so be prepared to shell out extra for that.
