this beach house is on the most beautiful spot of south India we guess. the beach is quite clean and apart from the guests staying in the luxury hotel next door and some other beach houses there is not a lot of people around, wich is great. ther are no windows in the rooms, it is just open and at...

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...

We did stay for one full week at this exquisite location, as best testified by their website pictures. We stayed at the villa just above the beach, we occupied one of the 2 rooms, and although the other room was busy with another couple - friendly, we had our privacy. We opted for a full week of the ayurvedic cure,... More

…I was looking for an ideal holidays. This place should be very close to nature, far from mass commercial tourism, and at the same time would provide most refined service, excellent food and secure environment. I thought I would never find a place like that… before I came to Karikkathi Beach House. I’ve spent two marvelous weeks there. Alone, but... More

One can't argue with the fact that the location is superb, looking through the Palm trees onto a beautiful sandy beach. And indeed the accommodations are good, as well as the service, due mainly to Vinod's close attention. However, given the price it does not exactly come off as paradise in Kerula. The owner has an avaricious way about him,... More

We had 3 x nights at Karikkathi at the end of our 2 week holiday to Mumbai & Kerala & it was absolutley amazing. We doubt that you will be able to find anywhere in Kerala, perhaps the whole of India, so private, so beautiful & so utterly friendly - thank you to the whole gang! Every meal we had... More

It was the first time to visit India and I stayed Karikkathi Beach House for ayurvedic treatment. Their location is good, very quiet and they are in front of the beach. But I wouldn't recommend this place because I had a terrible experience there. I was given a massage as ayurvedic treatment and was been lying on my back naked.... More

Our stay at Karikkathi was incredibly special. As soon as we arrived at Trivandrum airport, we were greeted with a warm smile and driven in a lovely old ambassador to the beach house. It was the most perfect greeting that was most unexpected! We also counted our lucky stars, as we arrived 4am after, and the room was ready for... More

KBH consists of two identical houses, each with two tastefully, albeit simply adorned bedrooms, and it is indeed a small paradise - as almost all reviews accuratly depict it. Wonderfully relaxing, cradled by the sound of the crashing waves and the deep-blue glittering splendour of the Arabian Sea, pampered by your waiter and cook and housekeeping-lady make up the ingredients...
