    The hotel is directly at the beach. The beach is beautiful! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was always good. There were some minor issues in my room, so I changed the rooms without problems.

    Okay, so the hotel is great. Lovely big rooms and pleasant grounds next to a beautiful beach. However, be aware that this is a DRY hotel, no alcohol served anywhere. If you ask the reception, they will deliver bottles of beer to your room but that is where you must drink it. Do not think that they planned to get an alcohol licence but had just been taken over so who knows. Also, the beach was fab but the beachbeds and also the ones by pool were old, shabby and generally of poor standard. Again, they are on the list for an upgrade. Pool itself is fine though. Clean and surrounded by lush palms and greenery. During our visit (Nov 23) there was also no cafe or outside area to sit and mingle with other guests, or just read a book. Other than your room or on above mentioned beach beds which are not conducive to relaxing and chilling. However, they were in the process of building a new restaurant/cafe on the beach so that facility may now exist.

    Fabulous staff. Big shout out to Astin, Anil, Rahul, Mega and Nilufar. Hopefully I spelt those names correctly. Restaurant staff absolutely amazing. Even got personal service from the Chef on a couple of nights when it was quiet. Beach beautiful. Pure white sand that went on for miles (approx 9 km to be exact) sprinkled with seashells. Looked exactly like the paradise brochures of your dreams. For India, very little litter also. BUT, whilst we were there you could not swim in the sea as it was too rough with a strong undercurrent; paddling only permitted. Very peaceful. If you want a quiet, relaxing, nothing to do holiday with great food then this will probably suit you perfectly. We had 10 days which was probably too long but was made to feel very special by the staff. Could not fault them at all

    food definitely needs an upgrade. breakfast was below average. the breakfast spread was below par. a la Carte was still Ok. tried the prawns for lunch, expected better quality and taste.

    room with easy access to a private beach was the highlight. deluxe room was very spacious and comfortable. attached bathroom open to the sky was excellent.

    I traveled with my one year old. Could not manage to get her some of her usual foods(very basic Kerala dosa) as the kitchen seemed understaffed or they did not have it when asked.

    Nice Breakfast, good spread. Inclusive for vegetarians as well.

    restaurant food was good but not great. i think they have tried too hard with the menu. for somewhere right on the beach they should have had loads of fish options and they didn’t

    we loved the position right on the beach. the room was large, really comfy bed and lovely outdoor bathroom and verandah to sit on. fantastic beach, pool and spa - the spa manageress was excellent and so friendly. all staff friendly.

    Rate of rooms. hildren's play area need more maintenance. The property has a big area and needs more entertainment and activities according to price. Morning complimentary breakfast needs more items.

    The staff is the best, Megha, Bindu and damodharan are some names to remember.
