My stay at Sundaras Resort & Spa was a mixed experience. While the friendly staff and prime location near the cave temple were definite highlights, the accommodations were unfortunately not reflective of what was advertised. The facilities showed signs of neglect, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant visit.
