Our stay at Poovar Island Resort was only for a day,which we regret as we wanted to stay more.Book atleast for 3 days.It is a lovely place with Floating cottages,Ayurvedic village and extremely peaceful. The beauty of the resort is that it is in the Backwaters just 500 mtrs away from the beach and sea.Food was very tasty with authentic kerala taste. Staff is very helpful and polite.We had a lovely time.Hope to visit again soon.

This is a resort based in a beautiful settling on the Poovar estuary. It has two fantastic, well maintained freshwater swimming pools. There is an amazing restaurant with a hugh range of local and international dishes àvailable, which also serves beer and wine. We stayed for two weeks in a classic pavilion room, which featured a really soft and comfortable queen size bed, A/C, satellite TV, and large fridge, as well as a balcony overlooking the beautiful gardens. It was kept in a clean and immaculate condition throughout our stay. Most importantly.... A very special thanks to all the staff, who were so friendly and went above and beyond the call to accommodate our every need. I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

​Fantastic stay! We booked a couples connect package, which included an amazing spa ayurveda massage, ​the staff was very competent. The rooms were top clean, the bed super comfortable with a special extra king size mattress. I think the owner really cares about the comfort of the guests because each and everything was perfectly organized. We had a private yoga class on their huge yoga platform and afterwards we just relaxed on the pool deck, thy serves fresh juice, and their restaurant has an amazing view over the backwaters! Their service was excellent. We will come back for new year!

I picked this Hotel after several considerations including its quiet location around a forest like environment on a small hill overlooking the Arabian Sea and the reviews about good food served. Once we reached there, the access seemed to be slightly off the way (into the wilderness), but found the property well maintained from bedroom to bathroom to hotel surroundings. It has a tennis court, a table tennis table and a well maintained swimming pool. Given the hotel has only 10 rooms it has a not so-busy look as if you are in a home. True to the reviews, the dinners we ordered on 2 nights we stayed there were extremely good, though the cook took time (upto an hour, so order much in advance, if possible) given the small setup they have. The property is maintained by small number of staff who were quite responsive and eager to please. We were in a small group of 3 families and kids enjoyed the swimming pool and table tennis facility. The sea view room has nice view of greenery leading up to the sea which is quite a distance away. But one could still hear the waves if it was loud enough. These rooms have a balcony where our entire group had a relaxing morning tea while enjoying the views. The only drawback we noticed was that the rooms had very less lighting and gave a gloomy look during the night. Having an option of more lighting in the room would have been helpful. The other minor problems we had was that the shower pressure was not too great, but we opted to use the provided bucket and mug for bathing. Also worth mentioning are the mosquitos, but then it is a common problem for all hotels in such natural habitat, we were aware of the same and took necessary precautions. Overall, we had wonderful time there and would highly recommend it if you choose to stay in Poovar area.

Being a solo woman traveller first thing comes to mind is the safety to which I'd say this place was just perfect. Staff was cordial and welcoming. Rooms are clean and hot water is available 24hrs. The location is near the backwaters and in a quiet place. They arrange backwaters boating at a very nominal rate. Breakfast is wholesome. Its walkable from the bus stand and market.
