We decided on a last minute long weekend and booked a flight and hotel package through Expedia. Not realizing it was a three hour cab ride from the Chennai airport, we decided to site see on the way there. When we finally arrived at Ocean Spray, we were amazed at the size and beauty of the property. We discovered soon after that there is a village separating the resort and the ocean - NO BEACH ACCESS. This village plays music and stories over the loud speaker for hours at all times of the day - NOT QUIET. The rooms were large, and if the finishing's and flooring were installed correctly could have been quite lovely. There was a large brown stain on our top blanket which was quickly changed. We stayed in a "heaven suite" which has a large Jacuzzi tub on the balcony (that we didn't use). The oversized pool is wonderful, but like most areas of the resort, NEEDS SOME TENDER LOVING CARE. There are four large pool bar's with fountains separating each, unfortunately all of them are abandoned and untidy and at least one bar stool was missing the top seat exposing sharp edges and wiring. In addition to fixing the broken seats and the off broken tile, stocking one bar and playing music at the pool would be an easy upgrade welcome by guests. We noticed a strong musty smell when visiting the spa, perhaps a dehumidifier or air purifier will help. Taxi rates were ridiculous. Perhaps offer a shuttle to the French Quarter for guests. COMFORTABLE BEDS, GOOD FOOD, GREAT STAFF
