Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered spacious and clean rooms with comfy beds and great water pressure in the shower, though the budget rooms might not meet expectations. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was a small oversight with the drinking water request. The location boasted a fantastic ambiance with lush green surroundings and a convenient pathway to the beach, but the high rates didn't fully align with the room amenities. The dining experience featured a variety of tasty options, including local Kerala dishes, with minor room for improvement. The facilities were commendable overall.
The hotel offers large and clean rooms with wonderful views from the balcony. However, there was a smell that would only go away if the garden door was left open, and some furniture was in poor condition. The service was very courteous but experienced delays due to staff absence. The location is perfect, close to the beach and key attractions. The dining experience was average with limited variety. Overall, the facilities were adequate with some room for improvement.
