The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Culinary Experience

The food here is great! During my stay, I had breakfast that offered an impressive array of options including North Indian, traditional Keralan dishes, and American classics. I particularly enjoyed the chef's masala chai, which was one of the best I’ve had in years. The restaurant staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, making dining a truly good experience.

Family Friendly Fun

Traveling with my kids was a breeze as the resort had excellent children's amenities. My children had a blast swimming in the pool and playing on the trampoline. The playground was safe and well-maintained, which allowed us parents to relax while they enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
