Pozhiyoram Beach Resort

Overview: This review is based on our stay on 3 days 2 nights viz 14th 15th 16th Feb 2020. I booked two rooms for 5 people including 3 guys and 2 girls. Location: The resort is located right at the beach. However it doesn't have a direct entry/exit to the beach. It has a side entry but luckily the beach isn't far from this. You just walk out on the beach itself. How to reach: If you are self driving, you might end up in the sand as the maps suggestion was wrong and our vehicle got stuck in the beach sand. However I did suggest map about the closed road and I hope it suggests correct route now. There is a narrow street beside Colonels Beach villa which needs to be taken and it leads to the resort. If you are coming by Auto/Taxi, it's pretty famous there and you shouldnt have issues reaching there. Room: The rooms are just ok I would say. In terms of size it's neither big nor small. Just manageable. The rooms were neat. Ambience: Lighting is OK. I don't remember if there were any tubelights/white lights except for bathroom. Rooms had plenty of lights - yellow lights. However, it was pretty bright which I liked. Bathroom: This is pretty big in size. As you can see the images, the bathroom starts with a commode, a washbasin in front of it, and then stones on which you can bath. I liked the concept as it was something different from all the places. However it was a little uncomfortable bathing on the stones and they kept pricking my foot. Not to mention, they have provided Matt on the stones on which you can step but it's still uncomfortable. However I did like bathing on these stones as it was new for me. Since the stones are directly kept on the beach sand so there is no outlet for the bathroom. All the water seeps down to the sand through stones. This creates one more issue, due to water splashes some sand comes out and settles on the bathroom tiles which sometimes annoys you. Cleanliness: The rooms and bathrooms were decently cleaned initially. However, it started getting filthier due to above mentioned reasons. Plus you carry sand from bathroom to bedroom. Plus you carry beach sand to your bedroom. They need to provide sufficient footmats. Restaurant: There is no restaurant of the resort. However, they have some contacts with nearby hotels it seems. They arranged us food and said food can be made available till 10 pm from their partner restaurant. Beach: As described above, there is no direct entry to the beach. However, the side entry isn't too bad except for the fact that the side entry is little narrow and you have to walk some 20 fts to get to the beach. But that's acceptable and it 5he beach acts like a private beach. You can sit, relax, see the fishermen boats, observe the waves, listen to the sound of water. Outside room: Just outside the rooms, they have placed some chairs and tables on which you can relax and enjoy the calmness of the area. More relaxation: They have plenty of trees and good amount of greenery within the resort. In addition they have many rope tied hammocks which are tied to the trees on which you can lie down and relax for hours together. Staff: Staff and manager is good and friendly. They helped us with arrangement of food. They can arrange for beer as well if you as for it. Places to visit: This resort isnt too far from the city. The distance from the city makes it calm. However all the places to visit are just 30min to 1hr away from here which is acceptable. Conclusion: Overall, I liked the resort very much and would recommend you.

This place all that you wanted ever in your dreams. A place that is beyond belief and is surreal. The place is well located right in front of the Beach and adjacent to back waters. Tge place is designed and constructed so beautifully and is the epitome of calmness. In the days and in the nights, the sound of the sea enthralls you and the place filled with trees, plants, flowers abd hammocks and white beach sand gives your mind a lot of relaxing vibes. This place came in a such a good price that it was that relaxing break which we as a family needed. The place offers clean atmosphere and good food. Everything you need is taken care of and all you have to do is to relax. The manager and the care taker Mr. Joicy I guess where very humble and polite and the automan Tony was friendly and helpful. The place is located inside the coastal hamlet of Thumpoly and is not in a main road or a connected area and hence the calmness. Nevertheless if you need a transport they will arrange you one for sure. Great place to be in and once you have stayed here you would not wanna go back ! Such a great place it is ! This is the safest of resorts I have been in as the locals take good care of you!

The resort is not too hard to find, especially with the extremely helpful rickshaw drivers in Alleppy, who go out of their way to make sure you are safe and comfortable. The resort is a place really worth its value. We had taken a Non-Ac Cottage, which gave us a nice view of the resort grounds and the beach. Jose and the other staff are very hospitable, helpful and considerate. You will definitely feel at home with their service. The beach side is an amazing place to relax in during the evenings. The room was good, clean and spacious. The bed was neat and comfortable. The food was so tasty and very much worth the cost. They surely served well on both basis of quality and quantity. This is one place where i would love to stay for days together. Its secluded and peaceful. The sound of the waves clashing at night is soothing to the ears.

Pros Hospitality Beach Side Price Location/ Environment Cons Bed Room Amenities No Phone in room. Resort is average specially room( Kerela Cottage) facilities are not impressive but services are really good and location is beach side with very few people gives you personal beach experience. We stayed for 3 nights and we booked AC Kerela Cottage but we didn't use AC as weather was good, so that amount is waived off by resort. Also they don't charge for additional tea, coffee or milk. It would be great if existing bed could be replaced by double bed.
