      Samkariabhanu's 5 days trip to Varkala

      The overall trip experience was 3/5 type.. Trip organised by Comfort destinations(Sameer) PROS: -The hotels in munnar and Thekkady were amazing. -Driver was more than perfect and also locally known as honeymoon specialist- Shan -Food was amazing and super tasty during whole trip including breakfast
      in hotels, local food, food at house boat in Alleppey. CONS: -Poor experience with houseboat: No TV, no ac whole day, stinking rooms, linguistic barrier with crew, boat only sailed for 2 hrs in whole day. -Many things mentioned in the itentary for 3 day(munnar to thakkedy) but driver refused to travel, later travel agent told that this was mentioned by mistake. -Driver refused to give luggage on last day due to some payment issue, it was later sorted out by travel agent. -As it was honeymoon trip, 1 candlelight dinner with room decoration was mentioned in the trip at houseboat. But unfortunately it didn't happened.. poor management.. -In Thekkady, there was no sightseeing by driver, he told to see some evening shows and go to a jungle safari. -There is a issue of advance booking in periyar tiger reserve in Thekkady, it should have been told to us in advance. Hence we tried on the spot booking and didn't get it. The munnar views and hotel was best.. Driver(Shan) was amazing

      Gaurav's 6 days trip to Varkala

      first of all thanks to Miss Sheetal from tripseller, who well planed our kerala trip. stays were excellent, princess de munnar resort was awesome place, staff was also so good and they had given well services. In Thekkady periyar meadows hotel was more than expectations, and they had given us proper
      service. only in kovalam, golden sand resort had disappointed me little bit, there was no food after 9:30 pm and no hot water for bath after 10 pm and double bed also not comfortable, they had joined two single bed with two single mattresses. our guide cum driver Mr. Raju sangun, were so humble person, he guided us very well about every place. Munnar is mesmerizing place. My daughter most liked Kathakali show and elephant ride of Thekkady. Kovalam beach is funfull and relaxing place. My daughter has full enjoy the sea water in Kovalam beach. Jatayu monuments is unbelievable place. Povar Island is heaven. Boating in povar lake brings us close to nature.
