Abad Turtle Beach

We stayed at Abad resort for one night for our return trip from Kochi (We were coming back from munnar) to Delhi. Abad resort is located near beach and location is quite good. Overall we were happy with the stay. Hotel staff was quite responsive although room service was pricey. Food menu was quite comprehensive. Loved prawn curry and other delicacies. Breakfast buffet could have been slightly better. Rooms are quite spacious, liked the idea of bathroom design (there is a space on the room that is covered with wire mesh for air and natural light). Car service for day tour and drop to airport from hotel was really good (we were offered brand new cars for all our trips) and drivers were really professional. Would advice other to opt for that. We also opted for backwater boat ride and luckily the boat arranged (again by resort management) was brand new. On the way we were directed towards a local (on the water front) restaurant that served awesome fried prawns (would definitely recommend others to go for that). We did not opt for night stay at backwaters as it was boring after a while and not safe (water snakes and mosquitoes!) however lot of people do try that!. Since the resort is situated right next to beach there is a way to reach it directly from hotel (almost like a private beach) however we were not able to go for swimming and other water activity as the beach was quite dirty (loads of fishermen do their early morning business on the beach). However the view was quite nice. Resort area is huge, there is a farm, souvenir shop, and a beautiful butterfly garden. We were able to see range of flowers and butterflies. There is decent size swimming pool area which was kept clean all the time. Resort management arranged for live music during dinner session. Overall our stay at Abad was enjoyable. Looking forward to repeat stay.

Property- A very good property I must say. Huge property, can spend a very good time with your partner or friends inside the property. Developed to give full for every penny paid by the customer. Beach- As the name suggest, beach is an awesome one, i can easily bet that this beach is far better than that of GOA. No unwanted elements present, only few couples were there. A superb experience, very clean and silent beach. Staff- Staff was very humble and courteous. Rooms- Rooms very like a 5 star experience, superb quality. Beach view villas has a tree swing outside it which is really relaxing. One can spend endless hours relaxing there, Though beach view villas don't have any sea view, it is just for the name. Food- Food was very good. The best I tasted in Kerela so far, basic north Indian like food with a live dance performance. Cost- Cost was very good as compared to the quality of food and rooms. The buffet dinner costed me Rs 320 / head with so many options to eat. Thanks to goibibo foe their promotions, which helped me again in saving my money. Extra Activities - The resort has many activites inside. One thing which I found very weird is that the hotel has not put convincing photographs on various websites. They have a very good property but its images shows a very limited part of it which can cause customer to doubt. Common guyz put more images here, you had a really good property. Hope this review help other people in choosing this place.

Good property spread in acres. Neat, clean. V nice cottage. I was really impressed when I entered cottage. Cottages are located at a distance to each other so you have privacy. It was very near to Beach. I can understand why foreigners choose this place. You can visit this place again & again for relaxing & enjoying quietness. It was definitely worth what i paid.However I noticed that it is very expensive in peak season. Food is good(not excellent). Strange thing is that gates are closed after 8 PM towards beach because of dogs. This is very stupid. You should warn customers & then let them decide what to so. Don't try to be parents of children. Warn them hard.

Abad turtle is one property you should stay in, if you a true love nature.. butterflies, birds, coconut trees, organic farm, beach..the resort has it all. The service quality is ok. The team need to ensure that the pool is cleaned up every day and a overnight resting facility is arranged for drivers as they have to sleep in the car. Drivers have to be completed rested to ensure that the trip is safe and fun.
