    Kerala

    Varunrayana's 5 days trip to Varkala

    Hotel booked at Munnar (trio rivea resort) was very bad in terms of rooms, bedsheets, bathroom, food and even service management was not upto mark. Geyser experience is the worst and management does not even care about it. I strongly recommend not to book this hotel unless and until they improve in
    all aspects. Before booking hotels for anyone kindly check the latest amenities and facilities only then book the hotels so that people do not suffer during their trip Apart from this very bad experience in terms of hotel everything went well.

    Saikatrc's 7 days trip to Varkala

    It was Kerala trip with the team. Over all it was good and reasonable experience but there are some areas or improvements 1. Tour manager and driver both are good but they have coordination problem due to which driver took us to wrong hotels twice in kochin and Munnar 2. In the some of the hotel t
    oo much restrictions were there. Like in Hotel in Varkala they did not have own restaurant for lunch and dinner and they are not allowing food in the room as I was travelling with my parents (64 & 58 yrs old) So all the time going out side and having food was difficult. Rest other things were fine.

    Sanketparate's 7 days trip to Varkala

    Firstly the hotel provided by the travel agent in athirapally was not good, the rooms were not in a good condition, old furniture and very small. The driver provided by the agent was not able to communicate properly in hindi. We had a lot of issues talking to him and understanding him, Also he had q
    uarrels with other people during the trip 2-3 times. He was himself ready to show us places outside the itinerary which were known to him, may be there was commission for him. But when we asked to take us to a place other than itinerary, He said it is not in the itinerary and i cant take you there

    Abhishek's 4 days trip to Varkala

    I had a very good itinerary prepared by Mr. Mukesh Chaudhary, with many discussions on the call. His right guidance made my trip very comfortable and memorable. We covered most of the points easily and we enjoyed very well. Some stays we rated 5 star, however a few stays still not that great. Overal
    l experience was good. The driver was polite and on time always.

    Hrushikesh Chaudhari

    Pune

    Hrushikesh's 5 days trip to Varkala

    We recently booked our Kerala trip with Pleasure India, and honestly, it was a really awesome experience. We had been exploring multiple vendors for a few days, but what really stood out was the support we received from Ms. Alia. She suggested different options, understood what we were looking for,
    and helped us choose the right itinerary and stays. Her suggestions were so helpful that we decided to go ahead with Pleasure India and booked the trip on the same day. Her recommendations also helped us explore a few more places while saving around ₹8,000 to ₹10,000, which was a great plus. We also had a small issue with our room at one of the stays because we checked in late in the evening. Alia immediately stepped in, spoke with the hotel management, and helped us get the issue resolved. There are many more things I can mention, but overall, Pleasure India and especially Alia made our Kerala trip much smoother and more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Pleasure India to anyone planning a Kerala trip.
