Hotel Management is rude, lying and not friendly to customers. Food is not good compar d to other Ayurveda resorts. Seevice staff is not trained and unfriendly. Had to check out after two days and move to new hotel so vacation is not spoiled by staff attitude. Will never come back for sure.

Nice location close to Ocean and beautiful setting
Giving a deserving title, rest depends on your primary purpose of staying there. We were looking forward and indeed enjoyed the Ayurveda massages. Food was good with excellent service. Some of the important things that matter significantly were disappointing, such as no airconditioning in room (Certainely was wrong in assumption), receptions desk responses too slow, sleeping under ceiling fan in mosquito netting with constant fluctuations in power current, water motor failure while in shower and not restored for an hour or more. All employees are eager to please you but find slow responses. I may not stay there again but it may be ideal for some who do not see this as roughing.

Relaxing place. Nice pool and gardens. Rooms dark
Nice relaxing stay. We booked a garden villa and arrived on a taxi prebookked with the hotel. Room was spacious (though probably our cabin was larger than usual as it had an adjacent sitting lounge) although a bit dark. Large bathroom with toiletries and basic hairdryer. Premises are nice including gardens, swimming pool and a few hammocks. Note that garden cabins don't have hammocks. Tv and Internet connection worked fine. Electricity was interrupted occasionally by no more than 5 min. A fan in the room was enough to keep us cool -no need for A/C. The entertainment programme (each night at 7:30) was quite pleasant. Food was very good (both buffet and a la carte) but mainly vegetarian. Staff were quite attentive and plenty seating spaces both facing garden and sea views. Location is right by the beach (which had a rough sea so don't expect to swim there). Free sun beds and towels provided. Other than that there's not much around, though I would recommend the music shop out of the hotel ( top of the steep hill) Overall a relaxing stay.

Lovely beach hotel
We booked for 5 day's, I wish we could have booked for longer, the whole experience was so relaxing. Our cottage had a sea view so we fell asleep and woke up to the sound of the ocean. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Parveen, the housekeeping supervisor, who would check daily that everything was okay and sort out the smallest problem straightaway.

Nice hotel, beautiful grounds and beach.
Great service from very attentive staff. All the clinicians and therapists are excellent and caring. The property gardens and landscapes are beautifully designed and well maintained. The beach is clean and very close to the resort so we enjoyed early morning and late evening walks on the beach.

Chilling on the beach
This property is very beautiful, but somewhat remote. The huts do not have A/C, but the fan and the ocean breeze meant this was not a problem. The grounds are situated in a palm tree grove on a cliff top over looking a secluded endless beach. If your looking for a place to totally relax and spend hours in a hammock listening to the waves crash on the beach, this is the place. You can get a taxi to take you to the tourist areas in town for dinner and shopping, for around 700 round trip with wait time included. We enjoyed my stay. Only complaint was that our stay ended too soon.

Lovely, but doesn't match description
First, let me say that I enjoyed my stay, and plan to visit again next year. But let me point out that the room amenities don't match the Expedia description at all. The bed is not a Sleep Number (by a long shot); there is no separate living room or dining area; there is no bathtub of any kind; no washer/dryer; no sofa bed. Turns out I didn't really need any of these things, but they could spare the guest some initial disappointment by describing the rooms accurately. Furthermore, I booked a special cottage - which according to their literature is supposed to have a sea view - and don't think I got one. The best thing about this resort is its focus on customer service. It's the best you'll find in India, outside of five-star hotels. Next to that, location is wonderful - on a small cliff above the ocean - not a problem at all to walk down (or even back up). The huts are nice. Overall, the ambience is perfect: quiet, healthy, and happy. What this place really needs though is a bar. Alcohol isn't served at the resort, which is fine, but why not a shaded place to sip on healthy emulsions or tasty mocktails? This would have improved my experience greatly. I had to take a cab to Kovalam in order to get a good cold drink.
