Highly recommend staying here!! Pros- Service was top notch. Very clean. Staff was exceptionally polite and helpful. Cons- They need to have a few more dining options. The restaurants at the property are really good for breakfast/lunch/dinner but there are no great options for a quick snack. The property hosts events on the beachfront which can get pretty loud and limit the dining experience at the beach front restaurant/ nighttime walk on the beach.

It was a lovely stay at a very relaxing and welcoming property. The staff epitomized the gracious Keralan culture, attending to our every need. Don’t miss the spa (Favorite Kerala) on the property, and we also recommend arranging for the Poovar Backwater cruise through the hotel.
