Testimonials

"

A beautiful setting in the middle of so much nature and tranquillity, Neelambari Resort is a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. Sreeni, Meera and their staff were so welcoming and went above and beyond the call of duty to make my stay very special. My double room included a dressing area, very large wet room and a huge terrace, all of which was tastefully decorated. The cleanliness and comfort of the bed and amenities were superb. The traditional Kerela food, cooked fresh every meal time was a sheer delight and such a treat. It was so wonderful to eat fresh fruits lovingly prepared to complement the meals. Sreeni is a very humble Gentleman, a superb host and very attentive to his client’s needs. The events that he arranged were authentic, traditional and so interesting. I was blessed to see the stunning elephants at Pooram festival, an absolute dream come true for me. It was such a joy to learn about Indian arts and culture, especially the visit to the Ayurveda Museum. My 2 weeks stay included an Ashtangam Retreat programme with the renowned Yoga Master Ajan Yogi. The personal program contents and structure worked beautifully and served my Yoga and Meditation practice well. My sincere, heartfelt thanks to you all for making my stay in your beautiful resort so very special. Kind regards Dawn (Spain)
