Shankara Parada Villas

Overall Shankara Parada is a nice place. Staff is very friendly, grounds were nice & location was perfect for all activities (Lipah Beach is a steep stairwell walk away). But outside of these here are my challenges with the property. There are only 2 units which have decent views. Each unit lacks a formal kitchen. The pillows I found to hard & not comfortable. Toughest time sleeping. Our unit (2 bedrooms) didn't have a place to comfortably sit. Lacked any living room comforts & our view to the ocean/sunrise was blocked by numerous trees. The only way to see the sunrise (which had a huge telephone pole in it) was where they serve breakfast (which we never experienced). Would I stay here again. Probably not. One caveat, which my family loved, was the puppy & mother dog who they wanted to take home...LOL... The property does require a lot of walking stairs so if you're open to getting in a few steps you might like it...

Everything was great

Shankara Parada Villas has been a wonderful stay! Great location for a walk to the beach and restaurants. Our lovely room had a great view. The very friendly staff go above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying your stay. We had yummy breakfasts daily. We look forward to going back to stay.

Lovely villa with a nice view of the beach. Plenty of parking and 2 mins walk to the beach where you can snorkel directly.

The staff here take care with the cleaning and the gardens and the pool is well looked after. The property overall all needs general maintenance and repair. We stayed in a two bedroom bungalow. Lots of steps. The accommodation was basic but large and clean. We had a lovely balcony with great views, birds, watching the fishing boats come in and out, and the sunset. The breakfast was average. The pool was great. No lunch or dinner service but a good choice of a few restaurants in the small village a few hundred meters away, the walk a little dark in places. They could do with a price list for local day trips and local taxis this would be helpful.
