I had a fantastic experience at the resort, nestled in a tranquil setting away from city chaos. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure our family felt safe and cared for, especially when my son had a health scare. The food was a delightful highlight, featuring authentic Kerala dishes. However, the amenities, while wonderful, could be enhanced further. Overall, it was a great value for a memorable getaway.

Our stay at the resort was truly enjoyable. The rooms were ultra spacious and impeccably clean, which made for a comfortable experience. I particularly appreciated the beautiful landscaping and artistic touches around the property. The food was tasty, but it's best to order ahead as it takes time to prepare. The swimming pool was a highlight with stunning views. The only downside was the need to wait longer for meals, but overall, it was well worth the price.

My stay at this resort was absolutely delightful. The serene environment and stunning sea views made it a mini paradise. The rooms were beautifully crafted and incredibly comfortable, providing a perfect space to relax. The staff were exceptionally hospitable and attentive. However, it was slightly distant from the main city, which could be a con for some. Overall, it was a fantastic experience worth every penny spent.

My stay at Over the Hill was a restorative experience, surrounded by breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The resort is well-situated on a hill, providing stunning scenery and a charming escape from typical tourist hustle. While the staff was particularly welcoming and the food was excellent, some room conditions and facility maintenance could use improvement to enhance the overall experience.

The grounds are beautiful, and I enjoyed the ambiance, but the pool area needs an upgrade as some of the chairs were old and painted in a way that left residue on me.
