Lovely relaxing hotel with good food

Lovely understated small hotel with gorgeous rooms, a lovely restaurant and a super spa. We were upgraded to a lovely pool villa. Friendly and attentive staff and a great breezy spot on the beach . We both had really good massages. Fish restaurant on the beach varied its menu according to the catch of the day. We didn’t try the main restaurant with local food as the fish restaurant was great. Lovely big swimming pool. My only comment would be that our pool villa water perhaps hadn’t been changed since previous guests and was a bit oily. Great relaxing stay before catching the plane home.

This is a v very special place to stay, wonderfully relaxing and the delightful and attentive staff are so kind and made us feel part of their family as soon as we arrived. Fabulous Kerelan fish curries and the chefs special every night was indeed delicious! Relaxing massages at the Ayerverdic centre, miles of beautiful beach to walk, this is a place to totally unwind and find peace whilst being looked after by their charming and wonderful staff. We will miss you all! Francesca xx

Neeleshwar - a serene paradise

We spent nearly a week at Neeleshwar Hermitage as the last stage in our recent holiday in India. Neeleshwar is paradise! The setting is incredibly beautiful, on an endless expanse of beach right by the Indian Ocean. We had a cottage with a sea view: it was beautifully furnished, with a lovely big bed, lots of wardrobe space and a fabulous inside/outside bathroom. We had our own verandah, a wonderful, quiet place to sit, read and watch the sunset over the ocean. The two restaurants were both excellent: we ate at both and enjoyed delicious, fresh food, beautifully presented and courteously served. We also enjoyed several treatments at the ayurvedic spa - if you're staying at Neeleshwar these are definitely worth it, with wonderful environmentally-friendly products. We also had some beautiful clothes made by the on-site tailor. Neeleshwar is a truly special, serene place, in the most magical position. You are aware of the guiding ethic, embodied by all the staff and expressed in a service that is caring, courteous and full of unique touches and in the care for the environment. If you have the chance to visit this marvellous place as part of your trip to India then take it!

Thank you Neeleschwar for such a wonderful stay! We arrived after a long journey to discover beautiful cottages by the beach with out-of-this-world bathrooms. We enjoyed yoga every morning, were spoilt with delicious Keralan meals and swam in your stunning pool. Thank you also for enabling us to visit a local village's Theyyam ritual and for your gifts on our departure. Of course, without thelotusretreat.com we would never have met you!

We have stayed here many times but this year we returned with a hint of trepidation because we knew that the operations manager who had previously “made everything tick” had moved on. But we needn’t have worried: his successor, Jesse Peter, proved to be incredibly on the ball – focused, responsive and effective. In fact, everything was running so well that there was very little by way issues to resolve, but such minor hiccups as did occur were swiftly and helpfully handled and indeed we felt he was taking very personal care throughout our stay to ensure its success. Similarly Avinash - a new member of staff for us, but in fact the most senior waiter - took exceptional care of us at all three mealtimes. Moral: come here often and they REALLY look after you! The menus for dinner in the Annapurna restaurant (uncompromisingly Indian cooking) and at lunchtime in the Meenakshi restaurant on the beach (cold soups and salads) had both improved on previous years (already themselves very good) with a lot of new recipes that surpassed anything served here before. The new head chef is a star! The one time, however, that we had some grilled fish and vegetables form Meenaskshi for dinner we found them boringly Western and poorly seasoned even on those terms. This was the first time that I had needed to specify a Gluten Free diet and initially this seemed a bit of a challenge to the kitchens and the first time the current team had encountered the issue (itself surprising, given that about 1% of the population suffer from coeliac disease). Other hotels had readily managed chapati-style flat breads made from a variety of non-gluten grains (millet, corn etc) but at first even this seemed to defeat them. However, before the end of an eight night stay, they had not only figured this side of things out but were managing a very successful toastable bread for breakfasts. It must have taken a good bit of time on Google but they really made an effort and succeeded brilliantly by the end. The gardens meanwhile were looking the best that they had ever been. All in all we left even more determined than usual to return.
