Cherai Beach Resorts

Utterly disappointing. That in short summarises my recent experience at this “resort”. Had stayed there recently with a large family group expecting some fun times. A far cry from the Utopia that their website and ebrochures claim, this resort sadly lacks in basic maintenance and professionalism. A very large property in an idyllic location at Cherai Beach nestled between the majestic Arabian Sea and serene backwaters, this seems to be their only claim to fame. The rooms, though spacious are crying out for better upkeep. Cobwebs behind the electrical fittings, lizards in the room, rusted door fittings, an AC which couldn’t be coaxed to be turned on at night (in one room), mold under the toilet seat and rusted fridge doors….. certainly isn’t what anyone would look forward to… and that too, paying exorbitant “peak season” rates. Outside of the rooms, quite a few buildings in ramshackle condition with boards indicating ‘renovation’ status surely doesn’t add any face value to the property. Stagnant water in open drains and rusted grills on storm water drains are not exactly what the doctor ordered for a relaxed holiday! And what takes the cake was the condition of the only wheelchair they have…. decrepit, rusted and likely to fall apart anytime …. we had to use all our persuasion skills to coax our super senior aunt to use it, only as there was no other option! Perhaps the only silver lining was that the staff were quite polite in their interaction. I do hope the management pull up their socks and set right so many issues – else, it would just be a matter of time before this resort, which has seen better days, goes to seed.

This resort is a prime example of how neglect and poor maintenance can ruin what could have been a beautiful property. The pathway to our cottage was in disrepair, with stagnant water and old buildings—once likely charming—now hidden behind makeshift boards, supposedly for renovation. The restaurant offered below-average food, and the cleanliness was appalling; the sheets, towels, fridge, and door mats were all filthy. Overall, it was a huge disappointment, and I would not recommend it to anyone!

Hotel is good and close to nature with lush greenery in the premises. Beautiful backwater can be viewed from resort and room. Food was good , even vegetarian was well cooked. It's was a amazing stay. We'll maintained swimming pool with yoga centre was equally good. Cherai beach was very near.

We stayed for a day at the Cherai Beach Resort. The villas are well furnished and comfortable. Restaurant is good. BUT there's no Wi-Fi available inside the villas, the coffee/tea/sugar/milk provided is just 2 packets for a 21 hour stay. Washrooms do not have shower gel /shampoosin the containers on the wall. Towels aren't soft. There aren't adequate staff to attend to guests. The beach access isn't direct. Overall not satisfactory. Wouldn't recommend it

We traveled from Kolkata to Kochi and stayed at this resort for 2 nights 3 days. We planned for Munnar but due to landslide we land up at this resort. The first thing which attracts me, their warm hospitality, service and staff Behaviour. I found foods prepared with hygiene. Overall my experience was very good. We had a pleasant stay here.

The best beach resort near Kochi city. The rooms built on pool of water with beautiful fishes gives amazing vibes. Beach is normally less crowded and has wonderful sand. After exploring Kerala, you may relax here for 1 or 2 nights.
