“Stepping into this beachfront heritage property is like traveling back in time, but with modern comforts; the location is superb for exploring Fort Kochi, and the promise of customized Kerala meals certainly appeals. However, potential guests should be aware that some may find the standard of upkeep and service inconsistent with its 4-star billing. Overall, the experience seems to depend on managing expectations and appreciating the property's unique, if slightly faded, charm.”
