    The only downside is that getting to the beach requires a fairly long walk, and coming back in the evening is not very pleasant because the shorter route has no lighting, and you have to walk uphill, which makes it more challenging. Of course, you can always take a riksha.

    We are very satisfied with our stay at Ayur Villa. The breakfast was excellent – the food was very delicious. The room was spacious with a huge bathroom. It would be great if there were more greenery in the bathroom, as it would make it even more appealing. The bed was very large and comfortable.

    A neat 3 star hotel. Great beds and customer service, but overpriced for what it is.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The distance to the beach is a bit further than booking.com suggests, and it is up a massive hill. Getting down to the beach is fine, but walking back up is no joke in the heat. I just about managed it and I am a (relatively) fit 30 year old - although was at risk of a cardiac arrest! Anyone not in good health would find it very difficult. As the hotel does not have any bar/snacks/lunch facilities, this is quite annoying as you can't 'pop back' from the beach. It is worth noting that toilet facilities in the restaurants on the beach are not good, so the distance back to the hotel feels more annoying than it could have been. Rooms aren't cleaned every day. In a 4 night stay, the bed was made once and we didn't get new towels. I am sure had we asked Vish he would have made it happen, but for the price we paid this was annoying. The pool is tiny and looks a bit grubby. Only 2 sunbeds and really not enough room to hang by the pool. More of a plunge situation. Overall, this is a true 3 star hotel. Vish was amazing, and the hotel was nice, but I do think it is overpriced for what is on offer.

    The bed was very comfortable, the shower was hot and powerful and the rooms were spacious. Vish was so friendly and helpful - really went out of his way for us. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Good quality internet and AC.

    It's a beautiful place with super staff ( Vishnu) . They were very thoughtful for guests need and arranged everything before our arrival ( kept the air conditioning on before arrival).

    The hill back to the hotel from the beach is steep but after a few days you get used to it.

    Vishnu couldn’t have been more helpful. He made arrangements for me without issue and was always happy to help. Breakfasts are huge and something different everyday. I had a lovely treatment during my stay. Very nice place to stay.

    It would be lovely if the pool was slightly larger so that guests could swim in it. This would add to the relaxing environment.

    It was a pleasure staying at the Ayur Villa. We booked to stay here very last minute (30 minutes before arriving!), but upon arrival we were welcomed by extremely friendly staff and a lovely, clean room. The room size was larger than expected (with a dressing room included) and the bed was very comfortable. The food at Ayur Villa was second to none and allowed us to try well cooked, traditional Keralan food. Ayur Villa is only a short walk away from the beach which meant we did not have to rely on taxis everyday. The ayurvedic massages were extremely relaxing and great to experience. A big shout out to Vishnu who was incredibly hospitable - he was there whenever needed and helped to make our stay enjoyable. It was lovely to meet Anjali and Anish as well (the owners of Ayur Villa) who were keen to make our stay as memorable as possible. Overall, we had a great, relaxing time at the Ayur Villa and we would recommend to all. Look forward to coming back one day!
