PJPRINCESS what a lovely setting, very peaceful, great pool with peddle boat around the lake, table and tennis We had a view of all from a massive balcony just lovely photos in advert are exact.
Train station exit a man offering tuk and taxi asked price no reply you know the type, he had something to do with station tuks and told drives to charge 800 rupee, we refused and tried to do a deal with driver, the man was not having this so the tuk tuk left, next one was going to do the same, I was furious with the man and told him to butt out severe times as my I was speaking to the driver, he continued until I threatened him with station police, the driver said to come outside the station and we dealt at 400 giving him 500 for his patience.
Whilst at the hotel the staff would order and ask the price before we got in it was 80rs to the ferry which cost 6 rs to Cochin fort. However the cheapest tuk we could get going back was 120rs.
Leaving after 3 lovely days by night train meant we had a long wait so we asked if we could pay to keep our room for the last day, Micheal front of house manager really nice and helpful always with anything, well travelled and educated agreed to speak to his manager.
As the hotel was not so busy not only did we get our room till 7pm, but it was a gift!
The food is very nice and the chef very accommodating, also it was much nicer than food which was more expensive in Cochin.
Downside the hotel has no alcohol licence,be discreat T.Y.O
