The bathroom was very moist, didn't dry easily, more bath mats could have been left for use. More Kerala dishes for the menu.

The ayurveda treatments were excellent. The place is very very beautiful to rest and relax.

The checkin and checkout was not very professional, front office require better training on handling guests. But it was ok nothing much to complain about.

Great food, great property, good private villas

This is a beautiful resort not too far from Kovalam Bay where you can catch a Sunset swim and the best view of the Arabian Sea. If you unable to get to the bay for Sunset, you have Amara for peace, tranquility and a sunrise every morning that takes your breath away. The valley is vast and the resort has been done in a way that you have elegant simple luxury that reminds you of nature, and how we can live mindfully. The pool is so lovely, the rooms are wonderful, the staff is incredible and the meals have been carefully planned around the Ayurveda clinic that has the most incredible doctor and therapists taking care of you. I highly recommend Amara. Thank you for taking care of me and my yoga queens.

Nothing at all !!! They will soon be getting buggies which will make it easier for elderly gusts like my mum to be transported to the Ayirvedic treatment centre with ease as it’s slightly on a slope but she managed anyway .

Loved everything about the property mainly its location and the pool . It’s surrounded in lush green medicinal plants bushes and trees and you are cut off to the outside world which is exactly what I was after. It offers a tranquil and calming environment and the pool is so inviting with rustic surroundings . The lakes and quarries that surrounds it makes it even more special.

Nothing!

It's a very nice hotel with garden and a pool, restaurant with good kitchen, nice staff, quiet. I will come again!

The spare bed (sofa bed) terrible. The pool was lovely but being shaded in parts by overhanging trees needed to be cleaned more from the leaves that fell.

The retreat is very good! Lovely staff , great treatments which we were able to book on the same day. Breakfast was good, and there were good choices for lunch and dinner. The retreat is very calming and all you hear are the animals in the trees and a few dogs barking every now and again which isn’t unusual for India. We ventured out at night and a tuk tuk was needed, which wasn’t a problem to arrange. The room was lovely and spacious with a very nice balcony. Bed was very comfortable , unfortunately our 14 yr old daughter had to lie on a pullout sofa bed which was really bad and had different level joins in it. We should’ve let reception know but we didn’t, so can’t say if it could’ve been changed. Overall a really lovely place.

The Ayurveda Centre could have been cleaner - with clean towels - rooms better decorated

Very nice

I liked the whole set-up very much.

The staff are like a family. Service is personal and kind and never rushed. The food is excellent. The Ayurvedic treatment stands in a compound of its own and is run by a highly perceptive doctor of ancient and modern medicine. His therapists are beyond great: their hard work and thoroughness are exceeded only by their sincere and devout passion for their healing work. I had the great fortune to be treated by two male therapists, Shibindas and Sadish. Their dedication and divinely inspired sense of mission at work came straight from their hearts. To the this not just a job, it's a vocation - one requiring great empathy and subtlety. I can't recommend these two more.

Excellent hotel, simple and luxurious at the same time. Friendly staff, good food. Space to breathe 🧘🏼‍♂️ And free yoga class at 7:30, amazing! Shout out to the yoga teacher and Agay at the restaurant

Worst & most miserable check in not friendly or welcoming which was very unusual for India. No fridge in the room. Staff were either really good or miserable. Lacking attention to detail in some areas. Access road.

Beautiful setting & gardens. Restaurant food was really good but breakfast could have been better. Manu & Anthony at the front desk were really helpful. Comfortable beds.

Nothing to complain

The staff was very considerate and nice to guests. My daughter was unwell,so the staff gave us recommendations on what simple,plain and light food the doctors had advised her to eat.They were all very nice.

Excellent staff and very friendly service. We stayed in a room where we had a fabulous scenic view. Pool area was very calming. It was great to have a spa on-site as well. Very relaxing place if you don’t want to live in the center of noise and massive tourist areas. Loved it!

Probably the low water flow in the washroom, but I understand it’s part of their sustainability efforts.

Everything was outstanding.

The fact that we couldn’t stay longer

Truly a blissful paradise. The staff and hotel were exceptional. The Ayurvedic centre was way beyond our expectations. Can’t wait to go back !

Breakfast options could be better. And the staff woke us up early morning to ask if we wanted tea or coffee, which could have been avoided

Resort was very well maintained, rooms were spacious and comfortable. Location was also good.

Approach road may be smooth and swimming pool to be cleaned from time to time

If you want to experience the tree house feeling and too near the western ghats speed and cool wind high level of oxygen.

This venue has lots of potential but it is missing the mark, it feels quite masculine which is a shame because the staff are kind, friendly and helpful, however it feels a little bland. There is a whole building that would be great for Yoga Retreats I would love to take a my Yoga group here but they really are not ready to host my group without someone taking control of the Retreats, organising, liaising with retreat leaders making sure they are fully supported before and whilst they are there with their groups I do run a Yoga Retreat business and I would happily advise as a consultant on how you could make your venue, where and who to market to, how to attract profitable Yoga Retreat groups, how you have communicate and get your venue and staff training up to the required standard to host these events. This is how you can take your venue from not hitting its potential to a vibrant, filled and sought after retreat venue. Happy to hear from you if your ready for this. Thank you Rosemary

The venue is away from it all therefore it was unrushed, there was some site clearing going on so a little building work in the distance. The grounds and gardens are well maintained green and the view across the Gants quite spectatula, many trees, flowers, green grass, pool. I took a consultation with the Dr and a couple of treatments the advice given was good as I too am an Ayurvedic practitioner and I found them both competent, approachable and kind. Good experience.
