Elephantpass Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat

The scenic location of the resort, situated near the bank of River Periyar, is impressive.However, I am dissatisfied with the services provided:1. Only two mini Medimix soaps and two sachets of Clinic Plus shampoo were provided for toiletries; unfortunately, no other basic toiletries were available.2. Each morning, there was no water in the washroom, requiring me to remind the staff for both normal and hot water for bathing.3. There was no telephone in the room to call the front desk; I had to either communicate with the workers or walk to the front desk. Later, the front desk manager provided his mobile number for contact, mentioning that the installation of a telephone is in process.4. On the second day, room cleaning was performed upon request, but towels and beds were not changed, only basic cleaning was done.5. As part of the package or booking, an extra bed was provided without a cot, forcing me to sleep on the floor.6. Breakfast consisted of only one food option; upon inquiry, I was informed that a particular dish would be provided every day. The first day's breakfast included Idly, sambar, and chutney, which was tasty.7. No Electric Kettle provided for making tea or hot water, when enquired they mentioned that no such facilities were provided.8. The TV provided was small, ranging from 22 to 24 inches, and initially had issues with the remote.9. Ayurvedic massages were available at a nominal cost, but I couldn't avail them due to lack of time.Overall, while the stay in the scenic place was enjoyable, I was not satisfied with the services and amenities provided.

If you want to go on a peaceful, sathvik and healthy holiday without drinks and non-veg food this is the ideal choice. Truly you will be rejuvenated out here on the banks of river periyar. Biggest plus point is staff is very friendly and they take care of you every minute of your stay. Just reducing one star here (though I did not wanted to) is because the morning breakfast for all the 3 days of our stay was the same (rice noodles idly), which was quite boring. :( You get good vegetarian Lunch and Dinner of their choice with standard charges, which I felt little expensive. You can easily reach this place from Angamaly (If you are travelling from Bangalore towards Ernakulam). You can take local transport Angamaly-Vallam-Kodanad and walk directly to this Resort. Travelling in local bus was also good experience. Resort got their own travel arrangement which will take you to nearby places if you wish. Overall a wonderful experience. ..!!!

This hotel is in Avery nice location by the river the rooms were ok the bed is not very good quality it is one of those cheap spring mattress when u come to one side u tend to fall that side because it is of cheap price a normal bed would be better.
