Chandpur: Best Resort To stay

Till a few years back Chandpur was just a fishing village by the sea. No one really thought about making it a tourism centre. However now with increased tourist interest, a few hotels have come up. Most of them are very basic and lacking basic amenities for a comfortable tour.
However, there are one or 2 properties that standout among the rest. We found a great property here, good food all modern amenities including AC rooms.

It is situated near the sea. You get a 180 Degree sea view from the terrace of the Resort. Rooms have AC and modern toilets along with running hot and cold water.

Food is very good too with its local touch. Food is served in via Kasar Thala and Bati. Foods are tropical Bengali in nature. There is a lawn with a huge TV in it.

Overall, this is a perfect place for a 1-2 days weekend getaway for family, romantic couples and, groups. Just by sitting on the terrace with the great sea view and ozonized air, you will certainly come back refreshed.
