Vivanta Mangalore Oldport Road - Formerly Known as Taj Manjarun

I was a bit nervous about our travel to Mangalore as my aging parents have mobility issues; however, the staff at Vivanta were incredibly kind and helpful and put my mind at ease. As soon as we entered the premises of Vivanta, every single person ensured that my parents were well looked after. We were touched by the care and hospitality (which has been excellent) and cannot thank everyone enough for their kindness. It is my Dad’s birthday on 17th September and I feel this is the best gift I could ever give him. Seeing him reminiscing about our stay here many moons ago made me so happy (his long term memory is still amazing). 😀 A special thanks to the reception staff (a big shoutout to Deepika and Karthik) for the lovely surprise for my Dad - a pre-birthday celebration that he thoroughly enjoyed. Massive thanks to the staff at Mint (Sudeep and everybody else) for looking after my parents’ needs and requests during breakfast times. My parents wish to convey their best wishes and blessings to all of you. Thanks once again for making my parents feel extra special. 🙏🏽

To start, this hotel was recently renovated. The rooms feel fresh and new, and are spacious and beautifully decorated. The shower is excellent. The bed has a wonderful, thick mattress pad and the pillows are super comfortable. Possibly the most comfortable bed and pillows I’ve encountered at a hotel. The rooms even have labels for all the light switches! Now to talk about the food. The complimentary breakfast is excellent, with a large variety of food. There are two restaurants, there is one bar and there is also 24 hour room service! The restaurants are very good. One is a very high quality Chinese restaurant and the other is a very nice mix of Indian and international food. There is also a cute gift shop. The concierge is simply wonderful. Everyone at Vivanta Mangalore is so helpful and friendly. They even allow a free 2 PM checkout upon request. There is a cab stand right next to the hotel, which is convenient. The pool looks really nice, too, and the WiFi works wonderfully. This hotel is also priced very well. Recommended!

The location is the highlight-close to everything that you wish to do at Mangalore makes it very impressive. The room was very comfortable, the staff always smiling and ensuring that you are always attended to, the Masala tea was quite amazing. I would especially mention Memories of China, the in-house Chinese restaurant.

The overall experience in Vivanta was fabulous. We were there to just unwind, relax and chill. The food & beverages were great, with a lot of varieties in the buffet, traditional as well as continental spreads. All the facilities inside the room and in the hotel were amazing. We had a package with F&B discounts, the curated site visit, airport drop, etc. Big thumbs-up to the staff (front desk, restaurant, on-call)—they were very very helpful, polite, and courteous; they are a big asset of the property.

The hospitality, co operation and support in every segment from checking through restaurants, check out until into my car was commendable and appreciable .. hospitality at its best in th term I want to use .Excellent support from team members like Satya, Sudheesh and Kartik were exceptional ..
