My friend and I went to Kerala for ayurveda, and we got it. We went in July 2012, low season, supposedly the monsoon, but got some lovely sunshine anyway. The rooms are lovely, the vegetarian food excellent, the staff very friendly, and the ayurvedic treatments very relaxing and definitely worth the trip; the rejuvenation massage using the therapist's feet is...

This is very good resort with excellent view of Sea. Location is about 9 K.M from Kovalam. Breakfast was elaborate, service and food quality was also nice but little expensive. I would certainly love to visit this place again with my family.

Fantastic beautiful place with just 100 hundreds meters to the waves on the beach. Could not be better. Staff is really helpful and can assist with everything, also bookings on backwater sailing. But first and foremost, say here, if you wanna stay here. There is nothing close by, so prepare to be just here and eat, drink and relax, relax,... More

Please don’t consider this place if you want a relaxing holiday resort - as we did after 3 weeks travelling in South India. This is an Ayurverdic clinic which is clawing extra income through advertising itself as being part of the ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World’ organisation. Visitors from all over Europe come here for treatments for everything from... More

first class service from beginning to end. The hotel taxi met us at Trivandrum airport, when we arrived at the hotel itself we were greeted with jasmine flower garlands, a cold coconut to drink (with umbrella in it!) and a warm flannel to wipe away the dirt from the city. Having travelled from delhi, Agra and Jaipur I was in... More

The property is excellent. Their private beach is maintained very well is very clean. Swimming pool is just too good. Small lawn next to the cottage is brilliant idea. The plants smell good. Just take a walk in morning on beach side and you'll be fresh. Best part is you can get tea at beach side or your room and... More

Food, ayurveda, and staff are tops on list. Jewelry shop is a big rip off operation(later found out not part of hotel but rented to private party). When you go for daily treatment Farouk stands outside, smiling, offering you a cup of chai. Finally I relented as who doesn't like chai? Big mistake. Ordered a pearl ring. Later in my... More

I like this place and recommend it to those who wish to stay in a beautiful place with yoga classes, meditation, very good food and good treatment ( all inclusive, even medicine). Staying in Manaltheeram I travelled to visit other ayurvedic hotels in order to find an option for myself , probably next year I will come to Manaltheeram again.... More

We spent four days here. What an experience. We were upgraded to the Kerala House. Great ambience and service. Extremely friendly people who go out of their way to serve you the best. It is a great feeling. Lying on the hammock underneath the coconut trees watching the waves on the beach, what an experience. Candle light dinners overlooking the... More
