There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

It was one the greatest experiences we had. We loved the place and more than the place the people were simply amazing. The hospitality and the warmth provided to us was beyond expectation and we are forever grateful.

Kerala is a beautiful God’s own country with lush greenery, beautiful flowers, mesmerizing backwaters and so much nature that it amazes you. I fell in love with this place and I loved the food, the ayurvedic massages and other things and especially the people who were so helpful and kind.

This place is filled with tourist attractions so you have a lot of options for sightseeing. We made a list of places we wanted to see and missed out on a few museums and other places. Overall we really liked the city and the places here and it was an amazing vacation with the family.
