Delicious Traditional Meals

I truly enjoyed the traditional Kerala cuisine served at the resort. The authentic vegetarian dishes were well made, with special mention to the breakfast spread, which included good options that catered to all tastes. The dinner, although limited in variety, was still delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, the culinary experience added a nice touch to my stay.

Cozy and Inviting Rooms

The Lilikoi room I stayed in was exceptionally cozy with amazing views of the mountains. The spaciousness of the room added to my experience, making it a perfect retreat for relaxation. Despite the bathroom being separate, it did not detract from the overall enjoyment of my stay. The furnishings were well-chosen and contributed to the serene atmosphere.

Stunning Bathroom Views

My bathroom had a huge glass window that provided a stunning view of the surrounding nature. It was a unique experience to enjoy such beautiful scenery while getting ready for the day. Though there were some bugs at night—being a forest resort—I appreciated the connection to nature and the overall experience it provided.
