Revitalizing Ayurvedic Treatments

The Ayurvedic spa at The Travancore Heritage was a game-changer for my wellness journey. I consulted with Dr. Jill, who tailored a treatment plan that addressed my digestive issues remarkably. After a few sessions, I felt more energetic and even lost some weight as a good bonus. The ambiance of the spa added to the overall relaxation experience, making each visit something I eagerly anticipated.

Delicious Culinary Delights

Dining at The Travancore Heritage was a culinary journey in itself! The food was diverse and expertly prepared, offering a great selection that catered to my dietary needs. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which featured live cooking stations for dosas and omelets along with a wide array of local and international dishes. Knowing I could order lunch and dinner based on my dietary preferences made meal times enjoyable and stress-free.

Spacious and Luxurious Accommodations

My room at The Travancore Heritage was a spacious haven that offered amazing views of the sea and gardens. I stayed in a separate Maisson building that provided me with a comfortable balance of luxury and authenticity. The furnishings were tasteful, blending modern amenities with traditional decor—a true reflection of Kerala's heritage. Each morning, waking up to the serene landscape was magical!

Refreshing and Modern Facilities

The bathroom in my accommodation featured a modern design with plenty of space—a nice touch that made my stay more comfortable. I appreciated the large shower that had a soothing open-roof concept, offering a bit of nature while I remained indoors. This thoughtful design not only enhanced my relaxation but also connected me to the vibrant flora outside.

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.
