"It was off season and there was some annual maintenance going on - it has to happen sometime - but the hotel manager and staff had made every effort to minimize this and to more than compensate. If you wanted a fully equipped gym you might have been disappointed but if you wanted to stay in a simply beautiful property - and we were delighted in all respects from room, food, amenities, activities, and location this place is it. But what makes this property special is quite the most genuinely charming and hardworking and professional staff I have encountered in my 45 years of international travel this is the place. From room and catering to garden and security the staff are very well trained, clearly Taj brand appreciative based on conversations I had with them, motivated and make this property as nice as it is. We stayed at 2 other 5 star properties on this trip and this was our clear favourite and made it an exceptional memory. "

"It’s probably used to be 5 star but not anymore. Need some remodeling."

"It was a pleasant stay"

"This must be the nicest hotel in Trivandrum, because everything was perfect. It’s a beautiful hotel, everything is spotlessly clean and the staff are so attentive. It’s truly a hotel where the pictures match how beautiful the property actually is. We travelled from abroad and loved our stay. "

"Clean wonderful staff"

" Overall good experience Couple of noteworthy items 1. Misleading listing Beach is NOT PRIVATE 2. Shipping Port The port right next to the hotel with the ongoing construction work (which went on even through the night) is noisy and is a blotch on an otherwise scenic sea view experience"

"Overall Impression While the general condition of the hotel is satisfactory and the staff were initially helpful, several serious lapses in hygiene, housekeeping, and data privacy protocols negatively impacted my stay. 1. Food Safety & Hygiene Concerns During a visit to the downstairs restaurant , I observed approximately 10 to 15 fruit flies resting on the handles of two trays containing sweets. Staff Response: I immediately brought this to the attention of two staff members on duty. Regrettably, no corrective action was taken, and the staff appeared indifferent to the issue. Impact: This lack of urgency is highly disappointing and raises significant concerns regarding hygiene and food safety standards. 2. Housekeeping & Amenities The room supplies provided were insufficient for a double occupancy. The quantity of items remained limited throughout the stay, which was inadequate to accommodate the needs of two guests. 3. Data Privacy & Documentation Policy Upon check-in, I raised several specific questions regarding the handling of my passport copy, yet the front desk team was unable to provide any information regarding your internal policies. Retention Plan: What is the hotel’s official policy for retaining guest identification? Access Control: Who within the organization has access to these copies? Disposal Protocol: When and how is this sensitive data destroyed? The fact that front-line staff are unaware of data protection procedures is a matter of serious concern"
