Haritha Hotel
( 2788824; Beach Rd, Appughar; r incl breakfast from ?1236; )
This slightly tired APTDC hotel is
near Kailasagiri Hill and across from the beach. The lowest-priced rooms (with no views)
are only so-so; bump yourself up if you can.

Haritha Beach Resort

; Rushikonda; r with AC incl breakfast from ?2136)
The service is iffy, but the
Haritha's location - high on a hill in Rushikonda - is sublime. Down the hill,

is great for a beer or a meal: views from the ter-
race are insane.
Sai Priya Resort
( 2790333444;
www.saipriyabeachresorts.com
; cottages/r from ?955/2136; )
With a prime
Rushikonda beach location, Sai Priya rests on its laurels. Some rooms have sea views and
bamboo cottages are quaint, but everything here falls short of its potential - and check-
out's 8am. Nonguests can use the
pool
(?100).

Hotel Supreme
( 278247234;
hotelsupreme@hotmail.co.in
; Beach Rd, near Coastal Battery; s/d from ?1461/1686; )
The
rooms are more budget than the price would suggest, but the Supreme's spot across the
street from the beach is worth a few bucks. Pricier rooms have sea views.
Park
( 3045678;
www.theparkhotels.com
; Beach Rd; s/d from ?7714/9918; )
Vizag's best hotel is
very elegant, very high-design, but also warm and inviting, with 6 acres of beachfront gar-
dens. Rooms are cosy and sophisticated and have internet connectivity through the
flatscreen TV.
