Extremely poorly managed hotel. Staff are the most unhelpful bunch (during my stay in Kerala, I stayed in 4 different locations and hotels and this was the only one I regret). There are flies everywhere of the backwaters but the hotel do not manage that well. Food option during breakfast were limited and of poor quality. This is more like a 3 star hotel

Relaxing gem!!!
The hotel was excellent. It is an extremely relaxing place where the staff are very attentive and can’t do enough for you. The food is excellent and there is a variety to accommodate all tastes. We stayed in Achenkovil and the room was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area.

The staff is incredible. Property is a bit dated. Dining option is only one but they are excellent Ala Cart. Buffet was lacking. Also Rude guests who I first hand witnessed dipping their hand into an open dishware that was set up for buffet. All and all, great property for any type of Ayurvedic massages. The spa area was excellent and staff was just pure bliss. Cannot say more nice things about the staff from the front desk, spa and groundskeepers. Beautiful views of the backwaters.

Such a delightful property. The staff was outstanding, took care of our every need. Complimentary brownies for each of us on the day we left with bon voyage written on the plate, how thoughtful, thank you very much! Lovely spacious rooms, pools were excellent. Perfect peaceful break, note that there isn't much in the way of games or activities, this is a place for peace and tranquility, not for activities. Will certainly return. Note: the superior villas are on the first floor, not ground floor as mentioned on Expedia.

I can't even begin to describe how great my stay was in this hotel! I stayed here because I wanted to experience a relaxing stay and do the famous Ayurveda treatments (which are limited due to Covid). They did not disappoint! The spa had the Ayurveda treatments for a few days and they were beyond amazing and the facility was beautiful and extremely clean. I noticed a difference in my health, stress levels, and my skin was glowing. I highly recommend to take advantage of these services. The food was delicious and well prepared. The staff made sure to attend everyone of your needs and the chef came a few times to make sure everything was up to par. Everyone was beyond attentive, but I have to give a special thanks to Ashok. He made sure all my needs were met! He facilitated my Covid PCR for the airport, set up my car rides, made courtesy check one, spa set up, and much more. I was so grateful for his services during my stay. The resort was so beautiful and the rooms, but most importantly super hygienic and clean. When I left they gave me a special desert and plant a tree before check out. This definitely was the best part of of my Kerala trip! I can't wait to come back and bring my family with me next time. Simply the best.
