Neela Waters - Beach Home

Alleppey Beach, Alleppey

Set within 200 metres of Alleppey Beach and 2.6 km of Thumpoly Beach, Neela Waters - Beach Home provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Alleppey. The property features sea and inner courtyard views, and is 1.3 km from Alleppey Lighthouse. Free private parking is available and the guest house also offers bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. There was nothing not to like! Starting from the amazing sea view from our balcony to the tastefully decorated room, we loved it all! The property is located right on the beach and we just had to walk a few steps to reach the water. Mr. Anup was extremely friendly and helpful. He was always ready to give us suggestions and arranged a wonderful shikara ride for us. An auto was arranged to pick us from the hotel to reach the boating place. He also arranged a car to take us to Munnar after our stay here. The property serves amazing local breakfast which is included with the stay. It was so tasty and the beautiful sea view next to the tables added to the experience. They also provide an electric kettle, water and tea bags/coffee sachets in a common area just outside the rooms. Some cafes and restaurants are located within walking distance otherwise one can also get food delivered here for lunch/dinner. Altogether we had a memorable experience and would love to visit again!

Ashtamudi Villas

Kollam

Located within 4.3 km of Kollam Railway Station and 4.9 km of Thangassery Light House in Kollam, Ashtamudi Villas provides accommodation with seating area. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house features family rooms. Wonderful lake front location with a super friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble for the team, who leave you space to relax whilst always being ready to help in any way. Prabhath Joseph went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our time here. He organised a fantastic punting trip to the Munroes (and Rajesh the auto rickshaw driver made the journey there just as much fun). Prabhath Joseph also took us to the local temple festival which was unforgettable. And when we had to leave he helped us find the right bus/rickshaw etc.

Breeze Hill resort

Viripara

At the guest house, some units have a private entrance, dining area, fireplace and kitchenware. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet, units at the guest house also provide guests with free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a balcony. We stayed in the tree house and loved being a little part of the forest. The Breeze Hill resorts are located at a pristine location, away from the hustle of the city. There was a little difficulty we faced in reaching the place as it was hilly. Please travel with a driver who knows the area already. The tree house was very nice, and the staff was very very helpful, polite and friendly. Thanks to them, we had great food everyday, in the beautiful forest. Would really come back for this. :)

This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. We absolutely LOVED our stay at Shore Stories! From the moment we arrived, we knew our stay was going to be very special. This was our 'relaxation phase' of our trip and Ajay went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was accommodated and exceeded! Food, drinks, transport, entertainment, restaurants... he catered to our every need and he's also an incredibly kind, caring and considerate man! The space is pure bliss - secluded beach with golden sand and clear warm waters, with an immaculate room, huge comfortable bed, outside terrace with sunset views every evening (either from the room itself or the upstairs terrace). We've since recommended his beautiful place to friends and we 100% recommend Shore Stories to other booking.com guests! Thank you Ajay!!
