    It was a bit noisy at night from other rooms . But the staff sorted it out for me

    The breakfast spread was amazing . Lot of choices . Continental and South Indian! The most amazing part was the staff ! The service was excellent and they bend over backwards to get things done .! I have travelled a lot and the staff here beats every other place I have been ! Kudos to them

    Breakfast range.

    This is a very well run hotel with exceptional service by a kind and generous staff without exception. They are a very well organised team. The pool was relaxing and food very nice. My only ‘area for improvement’ is the breakfast menu. We ate predominantly superb Indian food during our stay, however preferred an English type breakfast of which there were some small aspects but generally a very basic menu. Perhaps tomatoes, mushrooms, boiled eggs would have offers something more. There were omelettes which were a little bland for my taste. Just a small point which doesn’t affect our overall experience at this nicely run, high service establishment.

    On check in we noticed renovation works being carried out next to our room. We accepted works needed to be completed but the 2nd day into our holiday varnishing works in the next room were being done which left a very strong lingering smell in our room which was unbearable. After talking with the Reception staff they offered an alternative room which we took. Room very spacious and clean with a great view of the coast line, Nice breakfast and Hotel facilities good. All staff very friendly and welcoming.

    When compares to other 5 star hotels, cutlery set was missing in the room. Liquid hand wash dispenser wasn't available near the wash basin. Faced few challenges with driver accommodation.

    The staff was friendly and very helpful. They considered our request for rooms near to each other and upgraded one of our booked rooms to a better one so that we could stay closer to our family. Shout out to the exceptional customer service. The drop to the beach and room services were good. The rooms were spacious. Location was good. Swimming pool was available.

    Although the charges are as much as 5 Stars, facilities do not justify the charges. The facilities were not bad but not the level of 5stars as per the room charges. It could have been a little less. Otherwise very warm and nice staff, good food, and perfect for holiday.

    Not really great bathroom. Old building and rooms. Highly expensive, but have to pay extra for even small food items made available in mini bar within the room.Overall not a 5 star experience.

    An evening well spent! Loved the beach view from room..comfortable and relaxing.

    It is not on the beach as the name of the hotel misleads. It’s a crowded public beach reached by public road down the hill. We hoped for a quiet beach holiday and never used the beach.

    Nice rooms and good service.

    Right from checking in to checking out the experience was great. Received by Aishwarya at the reception to the Manager Rajesh went out of the way to make our stay comfortable. The wait staff at the restaurant were very courteous and make our dining experience a memorable one. The Ayurvedic massage was simply great and relaxing and kudos to the staff and the Dr there .

    The breakfast counter doesn't start till 8:00 AM. Also the spread was minimum compared to the other 5 star hotels. As per the staff ,they have only solar facility for hot water,no gyeser. It was raining . We didn't get hot water. It was pretty cold. The y can improve on these two issues.

    Location, spacious rooms, service, staff behavior, Authentic kerala food.

    Service in the dining room could be chaotic, and unorganised at times, but staff were very polite and friendly, I think European expectations are slightly different to local ones, but these were resolved and staff were so helpful and kind.

    Our suite was fantastic, great views, wonderful size, we had a couple of problems but the operational manager and manager rectified these after a couple of days which we really appreciated.
