    Ashish's 5 days trip to Kerala

    We recently spent 6N and 7 days vacation memorable trip in Kerela. I got a very customized package from TT that suits to me and my wife. hotels and breakfast was awesome which we liked very much. The only problems we faced with unprofessional drivers. Kerela is a tourist place where whatever amount
    you spend on activities and other things you have to rely on your driver who has little commission. On our trip to Munnar, I checked in at the hotel around 8 pm which we didn't like. I would recommend fellow travelers to Just fix the time before they plan their day in and day out on vacation.

    Jitendrasingh Moc

    New delhi

    Jitendrasingh's 7 days trip to Kerala

    Everything was ok, except hotel isola de coco. I was told while booking that it is in kovalam, but it was in Poovar just adjacent to the one which I stayed for previous days. Even the itinerary mention it in kovalam. It is a kind of misguidance on Agents part because when I visited kovalam, it’s t
    otally a different place and not same as Poovar as told by travel agent. Last resort in Munnar (Exilir) was very bad, that was not a five star property, rather it can not be given 3 star. Food was so low quality, stinky room with stinky toilets. It is only when I asked staff to change my room , they took initiative. Rameshwaram was incredible, Munnar teas estate is something lifetime visit

    Interesting 5 days through the nature of Kerala. Nice driver and houseboat crew, one of the best meals on the houseboat. Car and houseboat under expectations (or we would have upgraded if we had known), hotels very good but our own choice and upgraded. all in all a good experience!

    Karanpal's 5 days trip to Kerala

    Shiva Shankar

    Hyderabad

    Shiva's 5 days trip to Kerala

    Agency booking for hotels : Overall its not promising as i had specifically requested to have bookings done near munnar and Thekkady. They have booked 12 to 15 kms away from Munnar which has caused a lot of inconvienience to travel morning and evening . I have asked them to book near by hotels they
    have not taken into consideration Driver and Car: Excellent driver and shown the places but it would have been better if he was given more instructions of places to visit. which was missing Hotel in Munnar : i was the only guest in the hotel and charges are more per day. no provision for lunch on the day of check in. we had to travel 10 kms for lunch as its far away from city. Hotel in Thekkaday : Same story far away from Thekkady . it could have been better if we were given room in Thekkady as tthis is off season. House boat in Allepey : worst 2 bed room not cleaned , it was very old boat and cleaning was not done from Dream waters. Maintainence is very poor. after i have gone there i have seen other better house boats at same price. this is worst. But the caretakers service was good . Massage was very bad. house boat has tied up with Massage center in the village. it was not worthy for the money.
