Sunsets and Palm Trees

Everything - close to river, tranquil, very attentive staff, good food, worth every penny!

Nothing

We could not honestly fault this place! It is in a beautiful location, ideal for watching the traditional Keralan houseboats go by. It was extremely peaceful in a quiet area, a perfect place to come and relax. The staff were extremely attentive without being overwhelming and the food was some of the best we had on our trip. There were kayaks available to use for a small fee. Boat trips are also available which we would highly recommend. The room was a great size with everything you could possibly need. It was very tastefully decorated with a huge bed, private plunge pool and dining area situated at the entrance with a sliding door if you would prefer to eat in the privacy of your own area. If we ever come back to Kerala, we would definitely revisit sunsets and palm trees!

It was a little paradise beautifully presented. Very peaceful with fantastic views over the river We had a private jacuzzi and private garden. The staff attended to our every need with no trouble David made all of our outings easy and very well organised. We could not have had better service A fantastic place as a first stay in Kerala. I would recommend this 100%

The service was really over the average...we had a late arrival and they ve been waiting until 02:00am location and rooms are made with passion uncomplicated, quiet, remote

value for money

This is a fantastic setting and set up for relaxing away from it all near quiet backwaters and is a tuk tuk ride away from amazing experiences such as the beaches and Alleppey town. There are some amazing local walks through paddy fields to appreciate nature and meet local people. The food is tremendous and David and his staff go out of their way to know you and make your stay special.

Very little to criticise. One thing would be be to use a mattress protector. There’s just the mattress and the bottom sheet. Be aware the beer is expensive so stock up before you go.

Our experience at Sunsets and Palm Trees was nothing short of incredible. The accommodations are absolutely stunning, nestled right by the serene Backwaters, offering breathtaking views that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a dream. However, what made our stay truly exceptional was the unparalleled hospitality of our host, David. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was incredibly friendly, always available, and did everything possible to ensure we had the best experience. Even when we needed a last-minute additional booking, he made it happen effortlessly. The food was delicious, and every meal was prepared with so much care and attention to detail. The warmth and generosity we experienced at Sunsets and Palm Trees made us feel completely at home. This is not just a place we will return to again and again – we truly feel like we have found a place that feels like home and a connection that will stay with us. Thank you, David, for everything! We cannot wait to be back soon!

Gorgeous rooms, stunning location, privacy and peace. Staff was super helpful and responsive. Our entire stay was lovely.

It's far from major attractions so best for rest and relaxation, there were some mosquitoes (though hotel provided bug spray)
