Abad Turtle Beach

We really loved our stay at this wonderful hotel. The staff and especially, Rashid, were attentive, hospitable and caring. Our bungalow was spacious, loved the tree in the bathroom. Food was cooked to order, and served. Lovely menu, waiting staff fantastic, room service exemplary. Thank you all for a lovely break, we would love to come back soon.

Lovely hotel, only issue is that the bathroom needs an update and water temperature is not constant. Restaurant staff are very friendly but reception staff are very laid back and don’t understand the importance of time. We were booked for one night in pool villa and second night in beach villa. It took them so long to transfer our luggage from one villa to another that we wasted nearly 2 hours in just waiting. Buffet food is good. Pool is nice and the grounds of the hotel is beautiful.

We stayed here for 3 nights in a spacious cottage set in beautiful gardens amongst ***y butterflies..the hotel was an oasis of peace and calm after our hectic tour. (We actually liked a tree growing in the semi-outdoors bathroom, even though it was warm in there with no air/con). There is a large swimming pool and the beach is vast, with the security *** and lifeguard (both lovely gentlemen) on duty to advise about the conditions for swimming and safety. Everywhere was kept very clean and tidy. All the staff were so polite and kind, they are truly a credit to the company. The food was first class and plentiful, being freshly cooked off an extensive a’la carte menu; although there was an occasion where a large buffet was laid out too, which was also very good. The restaurant service was excellent as all the staff were very attentive and helpful, we dare not name them all in fear of leaving someone out! We also enjoyed the pleasant teatime at ~5 pm, where fresh tea and coffee is served off an antique cart in the gardens, ***** with some snacks. So from arrival at the hotel being greeted with flower garlands and an efficient check-in, to sadly having to leave (although being very grateful for being allowed to have our room till early afternoon for our evening flight back to the UK) this hotel made the perfect relaxing end to our memorable trip in India.

This hotel is so nice to stay in to relax. We arrived here after having completed a 12 day tour so needed some relaxation and chill time on the beach From the moment we arrived to when we left 3 days later the staff were all so lovely and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. The little cottages to stay in were lovely and really spaced out within the beautiful garden. The air con in the room is good, the only slight issue is the outdoor bathroom complete with tree! It looks lovely and is a great idea, but the temperatures mean that you just get hot while trying to shower. We used the beach and pool and both are lovely and relaxing. The sea is quite rough and Augustin warned us about the currents. The food was amazing, while we were there there were no buffets for lunch and dinner so everything was 'a la carte' and cooked fresh to order. We didn't really leave the resort as were happy just to relax, but there are tuk tuks available outside if you want to go anywhere. Brilliant find, my only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

This is a great mid range hotel with access to the beach. Cottages were clean and comfortable with complimentary water, tea, and coffee. Food in the restaurant was excellent with a great range of choice: the prawn dishes were delicious. The beach is quiet at this end with plenty of shade. The sea is quite rough, so not ideal for swimming in, but the pool is lovely and well maintained. Lovely gardens to walk around but there is a shuttle to the beach if there are any mobility issues.

A really peaceful location for our 3 day stay after a week of travelling through Kerala. Cottages have have direct access to a clean and quiet beach. Perfect for early morning and late evening walks. Augustine and Roy advised us on safety of the beach. Rolling waves and the setting sun were amazing. Other activities such as table tennis,badminton, a good sized pool and bicycles available to exercise, after lovely meals from a range of traditional Kerala and other cuisines. Meals cooked to personal choice of spiciness. Really helpful staff who take care of you from the moment you arrive to when you leave. Reception staff allowed us to check out 2 hours later than normal as our travel back to UK was in late evening.

We booked the pool villa, the experience was exceptional. The staff were accommodating and the place was well kept and clean. The booking ***ager Vinish went above and beyond to provide the best service. He made sure we had the best time at the resort. I would recommend this resort for a great experience, it’s also few steps away from the beach. We ordered seafood last night and the food was also amazing.

Avoid this place, terrible experience. I'am really surprised of the positive reviews for this hotel. And it is obvious that the ***agement of this hotel doesn't care. Booked this hotel through a travel agent and it is our last stop in Kerala.
