I was looking for a beach house, close to Trivandrum, and away from the hustle and bustle of Indian city life, and this really did hit the spot. Having read the other reviews on TA before we went, I had a pretty good idea of the pros and cons of the place. We took our children, aged 8 and 7... More

Beautiful. Rustic. Isolated. Expensive. On balance this place probably wasn't for us - we thought it represented fairly low value for what you get. However, it would be a perfect place for some folks just depends what you're after. Make sure you set your expectations on what you will get and you won't go away disappointed. Also, they NEED a...

We owe the team at Karikkathi an apology for taking so long to write a review. We started our honeymoon here and had an incredible 5 days resting, reading, relaxing and rejuvenating. Vinod and his team were wonderful; from the warm welcome, to the daily massages that sorted out more knots than I realised I had, to delicious food which... More

We had four days here at the end of a very busy trip and it was a great place to relax, largely thank to the efforts of Vinod and his team (chef, cleaner and masseurs). Food was fantastic, house was cleaned well every day and you could book Ayurvedic massages (very reasonable). The beach below is clean and pretty private;... More

Just stayed 2 nights at the Karikkathi Beach House with my wife and two parents. The location is excellent for reading and relaxing "Kerela-style", with two 2-br. buildings situated on a coconut plantation about 100 meters from a small, lightly-trafficked beach. We enjoyed parts of the experience, but ultimately felt it was important to provide feedback in case management honestly... More

The best thing was the friendly people, we felt like leaving family when we left. It was recommended by friends who have been back several times We loved the food and miss it now we are home. We did Ayurveda diet and treatments and had miraculous cures. I thought it very good value. I didn't want to share this online... More

I am afraid that I can't rate Karikkathi Beach house objectively because we arrived to Karikkathi house for 4-days holidays from snowy and extremely cold Kabul, deeply frozen... (Jan 2007) Our flight from Kabul to Delhi was canceled for next day, so we got 3-days holidays and 25% of money we paid was just waisted, It was shame because the... More

We have just returned from two weeks having escaped from the world. The situation is heaven, sea, sand, no roads just the elements and nature - a real escape. The food is delicious, different from our general experience of Indian food in England; drier (less sauces), a variety of vegetables, fruit and of course fresh coconut, chicken and fish. Staff...
