location is very nice.. though there is not much options for food and food is costly. Boating is a nice experience...This resort is located at the best location where you can enjoy back water, sea, river, ayurveda at the same place. Excellent place for hide out.

Located in one of the most beautiful backwater location.. Very well maintained facility . But the service and administration is pathetic. Rooms were without power for 6hrs, no proper room service; poor co-ordination of front office team with guest and lack of administrative control... Sad such a beautiful property is not backed up with descent service and support and convenience....
