What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Breakfast Variety

During my stay in early April 2024, I was impressed with the breakfast variety offered at the hotel. Every day included excellent choices, especially the special Kerala items like Aluappam and banana fritters. The strawberry milkshake was a good touch, and I felt energized for my day ahead. I wish they had hot dosas as an option for vegetarian guests, but overall, the dining experience was quite enjoyable.

Relaxing Pool Area

My visit in mid-May 2024 allowed me to take full advantage of the beautifully maintained swimming pool. It was clean and always attended by a lifeguard. I often lounged on the deck chairs, soaking in the sun and enjoying the serene environment. The poolside area provided a nice contrast to the bustling beach and allowed for a relaxing day of swimming and sunbathing.

Stunning Sea View from Room

In late March 2024, I stayed in a sea-facing room and it was an lovely experience. The view from the balcony was amazing, overlooking the amazing Arabian Sea. It made every morning feel special. The spacious and clean room was also complemented by good toiletries. I really appreciated the private sitting area outside the room to enjoy the stunning views.

Good Leisure Activities

On my trip in February 2024, I enjoyed the billiards/pool room. It was a great way to unwind after a long day sunbathing. Although I suggest adding air conditioning to enhance comfort, it offered a fun leisure activity on site. The evenings spent there were a nice change of pace from relaxing by the beach.
