Our stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! The Deluxe rooms were spacious and neat, providing a wonderful view of the pool and beach. The breakfast spread was delicious, featuring a variety of dishes from continental to local Kerala specialties. The staff made our experience memorable with their warm hospitality. However, the renovations needed in the bathroom area slightly took away from the overall experience. Overall, it was great value for money with some minor areas for improvement.

The hotel is a beautiful place with a wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff. While the suite was clean and spacious, it could use some renovations, particularly with the air conditioning and mattress quality. The dining at the Catamaran restaurant was exceptional, and the beach is just a short walk away, but the route involves a steep hill.

I had an incredible stay at this resort, where the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. The view of the sea from my room was simply breathtaking, and the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. However, while the rooms were spacious and clean, I found that the bathrooms could use some updating. The dining options were delightful, showcasing both Indian and international flavors, making it a fantastic choice for food lovers. The location was advantageous, though the pool hours could enhance the experience further.
