Delicious Local Cuisine

During my stay, I dined at the hotel restaurant and was blown away by the authentic Kerala food. The flavors were rich, and the dining experience was enhanced by the beautiful ambiance. The staff went above and beyond to meet our requests, especially Praveen, who was incredibly attentive. I would highly recommend trying the local dishes here.

Luxurious and Comfortable

I stayed in a spacious palace suite that offered a unique royal experience. The room was elegantly furnished and showcased the rich history of the palace. I particularly loved the large windows that provided amazing views of the gardens. It was a true retreat where comfort met elegance.
