โรงแรมใกล้ मरोत्तिकल कुदुमाक्षेत्रमในอาลัปปูชา

This hotel is a joke. I tried to book a room through their website but they do not accept international cards. My reservation got cancelled after a couple of days because I could not make the payment. After several calls and emails, the sales department kept ignoring my request to share a payment link that would accept international cards, simply replying that the current link worked. I ended up asking my hotel in Delhi to contact them and the CGH team simply hang up on them after saying that we should not have booked through a travel agent (which we didn’t?) Clearly they do everything not to have any guests. I live in India and have honestly never seen anything like it!

Perfect service by owner and staff, a/c room with good amenities, beach is very near, both balcony and ground-floor rooms are neat and clean, happy to stay again

Very, very good hotel. It’s four star with a high end five star service and a three star price. The staff has been so helpful and correct in every aspect. Rooms top notch. Bathroom the same. The in-house restaurant “Rasoi”: what a delight. With again a delightful staff. Every dish we had was excellent, be it Indian or Western. After a four days stay we are sad to move on. It may sound over the top but every word is true.

Excellent location, beautiful facade, good photography points. They have a lot of activities - some chargeable and one can just spend a day here. They also have family game evenings which is a perfect way of mingling with fellow guests while have fun. However, there was no water arrangement and we were told by hotel staff that we need to go to the restaurant to get water bottles. It would have been ideal to have basic amenities arranged when arranging events or call the restaurant to send some bottles ! The property of this size and beauty needs to be maintained. Mosquitoes especially around the pool were a big put off. Minimal lighting especially around the pool did not help either. Surprisingly they do not provide pool tubes/ floats, but ask guests to purchase it ! Staff is courteous but not prompt. So much so during complimentary high tea, the staff moved out while the guests were still sitting at the end. Rooms are very ordinary- no decor or aesthetics. Mattress are sacking, and double bed has 2 different mattresses making the bed uncomfortable in the middle. Food is very average, buffet menus for various meals are not lavish. We wanted to opt for Ala carte at dinner, but were told it will take atleast 30 mins prep and we had to compulsorily opt for buffet. Most of the dishes required refill during buffet time which the staff was not very prompt at and had to ask the staff to refill it. We had to wait for 15-20 mins to get Kerala Paratha. To conclude, a lot is left to be desired. Given the beauty this property encompasses, I wonder if it was run by a better management like Taj, etc. , it would have been one of the finest properties around.
