Really friendly staff - you feel that your comfort is their number 1 concern. Room is just like the picture, it is spacious and really comfortable. The food is very nice and very reasonably priced. The location is excellent too with shops, sights and good restaurants within walking distance.
There is no bar, which is a slight shame, but it appears that will be addressed soon.

We had a great Onam getaway at Gokulam Grand. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The sadya was excellent. Special mention goes to Sangeetha, Nandana, Akash, Aditya and Onam sadya team. The rooftop bar has a great view. The food was delicious. Overall a grand experience and shall definitely recommend.

The staff were excellent and made us feel comfortable as well as organising some great experiences. The room was lovely and the location adjacent to a pretty much private beach is exceptional.

Good location. But in the hotel. You cannot get, Okay and uber taxis, since the hotel has their own transport. And they charge double. They blame the union.

this was a family holiday-a first time visit to Kerela
this hotel far exceeded our expectations
I cannot raise a single flaw
staff humble kind and honest
we have to give specific mention to Santosh who was the hotel driver he was brilliant! He went out of his way to acomadate our internirary-even arriving at 1am to take us towards north Kerela. He was professional, very kind and very knowledgable of local and distant tourist spots!
Santosh is an asset to this hotel.

SomaPalmshore is an amazing place to stay if you just want to chill out for a while. The people are first class and were always there to help. The garden and pool are really clean and well maintained. The beach at the bottom of the garden feels as if it's private because so few people go there. Sunset from the rocks will melt you.

Hotel has got very limited choice of food, no tandoor items, breakfast was very very limited as the food was basically for folks who were getting Ayurvedic treatment done. This resort is very good for privacy, relaxation if you undergo Ayurvedic treatments. The beach is not very near you have to walk down a 50 staircase steps and then 50 more steps.

We will always remember our stay at Ideal Ayurvedic Resort, as a blend of different experiences, mixing medicine, relaxed stay, short walks to the nearest beach and longer trips to the surrounding attractions. If you are looking for a luxurious stay, maybe Ideal Resort is not the one, but if you want to be pampered and looked after and offered high level ayurvedic treatments, medical care and stay in clean, comfortable rooms, in other words, if you want to spend a couple of weeks feeling like...
