We had a mixed experience during our stay. The location was beautiful with breathtaking views, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Ayurveda massages. However, our room was not what we expected and the dining options were quite limited, especially for vegetarians. The noise from nearby construction and slow service at the restaurant were also disappointing.

The initial room we were given was inadequate and did not resemble the photos we saw. After much coordination, we finally moved to a better room that was cleaner and more comfortable.

My stay at Neeramaya Surya Samudra was truly exceptional! The breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, combined with the outstanding service from staff, made it a memorable experience. Each meal was a delightful exploration of Kerala's culinary offerings, thanks to the chef's creativity. Although the resort was generally fantastic, I did find the rooms a tad darker than I prefer. But the overall atmosphere and amenities made up for it. I'm definitely looking forward to returning!

My stay at the resort was an incredible experience with stunning sea views and private beach access. The rooms were luxurious and offered a unique Kerala architecture vibe, and the dining options were delightful, showcasing a mix of local and international cuisine. However, ongoing construction nearby created quite a disturbance and affected the overall relaxation vibe of the stay. Additionally, there were occasional shortages of sun-beds and tables around the pool area, making it less ideal during peak times.
