    comfortable rooms
    good ac
    renovation noise

    Comfortable rooms with good AC provided a pleasant base for our stay. A noteworthy highlight was the pool area, although there were renovations disrupting the experience.

    During our visit, renovation noise was a significant distraction, hitting hard at both evening and morning hours. The food choices, particularly for dietary restrictions, felt limited, and we ended up eating the same dishes multiple times, which was less than ideal. It seemed like the live counter could use more variety as well, lacking a bit of zing that might elevate the culinary experience.

    The stunning sunset cruise and cozy sea-view room made our stay exceptional. Highly recommend trying the Kerala Parotta!

    Felt great, no complaints at all.

    central location
    nice view
    dated furniture
    not super fancy

    The Superior Room City View Queen Bed was decent, but not super fancy. I liked the comfortable bed and the room had a nice view. The furniture felt a bit dated though, which was a bummer. I enjoyed the smooth check-in experience and the staff were polite. Location is central, so that was a plus.

    delicious food

    Target audience looking for decent stay

    I enjoyed that welcome drink they served us, it was a pleasant surprise. the restaurant had a nice mix of western and Kerala dishes, made every meal feel like an experience.

    Stay wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but I guess that's the price for a decent location.
