A shout out to Daspalla, Vizag

We are on a small trip to Araku and Vishakhapatanam (more on that trip later). And as folks in the know would definitely know we did not plan enough (usual) and did not stick to the plan which was present (again nothing out of ordinary here).
This led to us ending up in Vizag late night without any reservation or even in idea where we will go next. Some kind soul on the train told us to try at Dasapalla Vizag.  The thing is that we faintly remember searching and coming across this hotel but the review were nothing extra-ordinary so we overlooked it. We were really skeptical when we called the reservations desk from the train.
But the booking was really quick and efficient. The surprise was that they did not overcharge us, as most of the other hoteliers would do when they find a customer in tight spot.

And the surprises did not end up then. The food in the restaurant down was very good (especially for the kids and the better half - as they were without any food for long time). The staff every where were very friendly and helpful.

The terrace pool was very nice and kids and myself really enjoyed the surprise.

 The complimentary breakfast spread was really nice. Special mention to the staff who would recommend different dishes and ensured that kids are comfortable and enjoyed the food (which we did).

I was surprised why the reviews were not more glowing on the internet. This is attempt at doing just that.

(P.S. In the spirit of full disclosure : they also had a surprise parting gift for me, but that did not affect my opinion :))
