During my family vacation, we had a fantastic time at this resort, especially enjoying the beautiful beach views and the lovely ambience. The cleanliness of the place was commendable, and my kids had a great time. However, some basic amenities in the room fell short, and the noise from nearby sources was quite disturbing. Overall, it's a charming spot but could use improvements in certain areas.

My stay at the resort was delightful, especially as it offers a gorgeous view of the Arabian Sea, giving a real taste of Kerala's cultural charm. The rooms were beautifully designed, with authentic elements reflecting the local architecture. However, the property is quite expansive, making some areas challenging to navigate, especially if you're not up for steep walks. While the service was excellent, providing for my needs and making my stay comfortable, I did find there was slightly less dining variety than I'd hoped for.

My stay at the resort was quite delightful, offering a refreshing escape with its traditional Kerala style and lush surroundings.

I had a wonderful experience at Travancore Heritage. The resort offers a lovely environment with great amenities, including two swimming pools and a kids' play area. The staff was friendly and accommodating, although there were some issues with the front office that could use improvement. Overall, the dining experience was a bit of a disappointment, especially when it came to vegetarian options. Still, the value for money was quite good given the overall pleasant atmosphere.
