Niramaaya: the escape my family needed from the hustle and bustle of some of Southern India's bigger cities! All of the staff was incredible, but a few deserve special mention. In particular, we want to thank Anupam, one of the resort's waiters, for his kind treatment and rapport with our little boy, who became a fast friend. Our son loved seeing Anupam at most of his meals. Anupam went above-and-beyond for us and made us feel incredibly welcome and special. Samson was also incredibly cordial with us, and we thank him too. Joseph, one of the security guards watching over guests on the beach, was also incredibly kind. My son was drawn to the heavy waves, and Joseph came over to hold his hand with me so that he could feel their pull (the only way to do it safely). Joseph managed to get himself soaked in the process, and we could not communicate much because of language barriers, but through hand gestures, smiles, laughter, and the few words we did share, we managed to have a great time. I feel remiss that I cannot remember all of the wonderful staff members' names, in particular, the woman at the front desk who played games with our son while we waited for taxis and the men who helped coordinate our taxis. The Ayurvedic spa treatments were very good, although be prepared for wooden tables and some tough scrubbing for some of them! The food at the restaurant was good, some dishes better than others, particularly the ones drawing more heavily on local food from Kerala. By far and away, breakfasts at the hotel were our absolute favorite meals. The buffet spread was incredible, a mix of local breakfast options, American/European style breakfast options and fresh local fruits and veggies. If something was not available, the kitchen would make it for you. I could live off of those breakfasts. Hotel highlightsLuxury · Great view · Romantic · Quiet · Kid-friendly · Great value RoomsRooms are lovely, and the views from all of them are quite good. The WIFI is not good. This is not a place to come if you need to work and stay connected. Nearby activitiesBe wary of which local activities you select and check them out online first. We went to an elephant sanctuary where the elephants were chained to trees and under pagodas, and the babies were separated from the mamas. This was not the "sanctuary" we expected. On the flip side, we enjoyed the backwater tours and the small beach we visited (although we skipped the camel rides because the camels are not indigenous to Kerala, and they are suffering in the heat there). We did visit a number of temples and churches - it's not for nothing that Kerala is called "the Land of the Gods." Note that if you're a seasoned yoga practitioner, the yoga at Niramaaya might be too basic for you. SafetyWe felt very safe at Niramaaya and also with the drivers they arranged for us. One caveat is that the waves and ocean currents are VERY strong. These are not beaches for children or for novice swimmers, and possibly not even for swimmers of moderate ability. Everyone local warned us to stay out of the ocean and far from the unpredictable waves at the water's edge. The net fisherman told us tales of rescuing visitors swept into the water by rogue waves on more than one occasion. That said, there were some visitors in the water in the morning at times between tides. Food & drinksAmazing restaurant staff. Great food, especially local food. Noteworthy detailsAmazing views, incredible staff, great spa treatments, awesome food. At night, the ocean skyline looks like there is a city in the distance due to all the fishing boats looking for an overnight catch! We loved watching the coconut man climb the coconut trees and knock down fresh coconuts for guests to drink and then eat! We also loved watching the net and spear fisherman each morning as they began their days. Those who are not strong swimmers must be careful on the beach with the waves and tides. Thankfully, on the resort's beach, they have a guard posted. The infinity pool is lovely during the daytime! It also makes for spectacular views and photo ops in the evening as the sun sets. But at that time it's not for the faint of heart, as it's not heated. Guests can arrange for romantic dinners in private spots throughout the resort - we saw couples doing this and it looked lovely. Note that there is a port being constructed on one side of the resort, which is on the restaurant side and may disrupt the impression of complete tranquility. But it's still a beautiful view and location.
