“Our third visit and this time for a full week, which didn’t seem a minute too long.

The hotel certainly deserves all the many awards that it gathers. The formula is very well tuned to demanding Western tastes but there is always a willingness to tweak that formula to make everything totally perfect for individual quirks and preferences.

Sasi the food and beverage manager is a modest, unassuming man but he runs one of the slickest operations of this kind in any part of the world.. He exudes genuine care about his guests and that attitude filters down through his team. (Particular thanks to Melbin, Sharoon, Libin and Kiran.) The food is outstanding from breakfast through lunch to dinner.

The beach is almost deserted, the pool delightful (although a little more zeal in tidying up the vacated sunbeds would be welcome – that’s about the only fault I can find!).

Some good low-key outings are possible to fish markets, Theyyam festivals etc to enliven the general chill-out experience

Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends”
