The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Kerala Cuisine

The food at the hotel was truly a highlight of our stay. We had a fantastic dining experience with a lovely set menu that featured fresh, local ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the Kerala lunch, which was incredibly generous and flavorful. Even though the menu was somewhat limited, everything we tried was delicious, and I would highly recommend not missing out on the barbecue evening. It was a culinary treat!
