I booked this hotel after reading extremely good reviews about it all over on the internet. When we arrived first at Prathamesh, we could see nothing overtly wrong with the hotel. In fact, our first day there was great. The manager helped us out with sightseeing information and the staff appeared friendly.
The trouble began on the second evening when we came back to the room and saw that several cockroaches had crept in through a window left open by the housekeeping staff! Our desperate calls for the staff yielded nothing but a bottle of insect repellant which my husband had to spray on the roaches himself. It didnt stop there. Throughout the night, we had cockroaches entering into our room from the gap below the door. Further searches in the room revealed tons of eggs in the horribly maintained furniture. By morning we had had enough and decided to check out. The staff had no explanation to provide, with not much resistance to our decision!
It spoiled our beautiful experience of serene Diveagar. I could've easily excused the hotel for the cockroach incidence in a rural place like Diveagar, but the attitude of the staff simply didnt deserve this.
There are several better places in Diveagar I am told. In fact, it would have been better if we'd left behind our urban compulsion to have an AC hotel and tried a home-stay instead.
Some other problems: The restaurant attached to the hotel is terrible. We had only one meal there and decided never to eat there again. If you do not have a car, this place is far away from the central area with the temple and eateries and walking at night doesn't exactly make you comfortable. Beach access is at least ten minutes away.
