Guest Reviews
- Abby Varghese (10/5): -
- Richard (10/5): Neeleshwar Hermitage is a wonderful, luxurious coastal resort for relaxation in North Kerala. - The resort is set in a beautiful and quiet location beside the Arabian Sea in North Kerala. Situated in glorious landscaped gardens, the cottages which serve as rooms are very spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The two restaurants serve delicious, individually prepared food and all the resorts friendly staff do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. if you just wish to sit and relax you can do so either on your cottage's private varanda or beside the magnificent infinity pool. If you are feeling more active, you can walk for as far as the eye can see along the deserted beach, borrow pedal bikes to cycle around the local area, visit the nearby historic fort or go further afield to explore Kerala's hill region, all of which we would recommend. The resort also provides a comprehensive spa where you can opt for a number of therapies and free yoga in the mornings or private sessions if you prefer. Nothing

- Dorian (7/5): Loved the place, but not the constant questions - I stayed here for 4 nights, and overall, it was an amazing experience. The hotel is truly a peaceful haven, a little slice of paradise in India. The pool is incredible, the beach is stunning, and the property itself is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is generally friendly and attentive, but I did feel a bit uncomfortable with how insistent they were at times. They often asked where I was going, when I’d be back, which made it difficult to enjoy some privacy. Apart from that, everything else was wonderful. It’s a fantastic place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.

- Bhavana (10/5): It was very exceptional stay had very relaxing time very nice hospitality and service - It’s very calm and beautiful view Nothing now! Everything was perfect
- AASHICA AMRITH (10/5): Serene peaceful getaway to connect with oneself - Beautiful property and amazing hospitality. Serene peaceful and a quiet break away from city life. Loved the concept of no TVs in the room and eco friendly everything- from water to shampoos -loved it. Food and drinks were awesome. Staff is just amazing. Loved the ayurvedic consultation and the recommended massage was brilliant. Can go sit by the beach. This is a public beach though so not maintained and during monsoon not safe for play or swimming. Can watch the beach from most of the cottages in the property. The cottages are amazing with the open to sky bathrooms. Complimentary yoga every morning is a bonus. Would go again. Infinity pool is lovely too. There is not a lot to do for kids except pool and beach.
- Ghosh (8/5): A quaint get away from city life - We stayed in the garden view room. Room was top notch. Cleanliness is beyond mention. The staff are wonderful from the managers - Jesse and Jayan to the restaurant staff to even Mr. vinod who helped us at the pool. Everyone was wonderful!! And the stay was blissful The only thing was the food had limited choices and extremely overpriced. We did voice it to the managers and they very politely obliged to it... Which was again wonderful.
- Vinduja (10/5): - The view, the food, the spa, and the service - everything was amazing. The beach next to the property is beautiful :) Open washrooms- so expect some insects. Bathtub doesn’t have hot water.
- Varghese (9/5): Superb -
- Pradeep (9/5): Superb -
- Mini (9/5): Was a relaxing gorgeous trip - Everything was fantastic. I would recommend more variety in the food menu.
- Clinton (7/5): Sleep, eat and repeat - Lovely location on the beach. Beautiful gardens. Nice bungalows with comfortable beds Good food - especially breakfast. Very helpful and polite staff. Outside bathrooms are a real drawback - too hot and a magnet for bugs. Enough to put us off returning. Swimming pool was too warm and a lot of leaves and bugs in it. Both restaurants essentially outdoors so no escape from the heat or bugs. Also, the fish restaurant had essentially the same menu every day. There’s not much to do apart from walk on the beach, pool, spa and eat.
- Colin (10/5): Exceptional -
- nina (10/5): Best beach property! - Amazing location right on the beach,super clean and comfortable,great food and infinity pool.The treatments at their spa are par excellence and they also have a yoga room facing the beach.Can’t wait to get back soon!
- James (9/5): Beyond expectations. - Breakfast was of very good quality and served to table, not a from a buffet, which was a great bonus. The fresh fruit juice cocktails are amazing. Dinner was also very good and the portions were large, too large on one occasion. Served by knowledgable staff who knew the contents of the dishes they were serving. We very much enjoyed the Neeleshwar Newsletter. What a nice touch. Pass! I’ve no idea. We seemed to like everything. We didn’t like not being able to stay for longer.
- Edith (10/5): outstanding food, service and relaxation in a beautiful environment - Everything about this hotel is excellent. The landscaped gardens, well-designed cottages set among them tastefully, the lovely pool with its view of the ocean, the golden sands within yards of one of the restaurants all contribute to a beautiful environment. The food is freshly made every day and only uses fruit/veg which are in season. The fish dishes are prepared from what has been caught locally - you can see the boats coming in to go down the coast to the fish quay in Nileshwar from the breakfast table. Everything is cooked and presented to a very high standard, and cooked to order so one can ask for the spice level to be varied if needed. There is no noisy 'musak' to disturb the peace, and staff are trained to move about the site without rushing, and to speak quietly. There is a real sense of everyone being valued equally, and the welcome guests receive -not just at the beginning, but throughout their stay - adds to the sense of being in a very special place. If de-stressing by the pool and being well-fed are not enough, there is complimentary yoga each morning; an early morning canoe trip along the beachside lagoon to look at the birds; a shop where you can order fabrics and have items made by the in-house tailor; and the hotel also arranges excursions, for example on their traditional houseboat, or to see a performance of traditional Kathakali dancing. This was our 3rd visit, the last one being just before Covid in 2020; Neeleshwar survived the Covid problems and it was wonderful to see that the very special experience offered here is still very much one of the most relaxing places to be, a small slice of paradise.
- Sajeer (3/5): Poor -
- Pico123 (9/5): Superb -
- Conor (10/5): Top of the range luxury on the beach - Luxury of the highest order: proper spenny, but oh such a special treat. Staff and location are fabulous. Food excellent. Nothing
- Christopher (9/5): Wonderful, relaxing resort away from the crowds - Location on a lovely beach, no other hotels in sight and with occasional local fishermen or boys playing football. Very peaceful and relaxing, wonderful.pool. Not much to dislike if you want a quiet, relaxing stay. Food options are inevitably limited with only 2 restaurants, but the food was great.
- Nand (8/5): Very good - Location and ambiance was great Food was pricey
- Sooraj (9/5): Superb -
- Shravan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (10/5): Paradise in northern Kerala - This is the most wonderful place for a relaxing vacation. Kerala has lush greenery, gorgeous people and is very clean compared to north India. Everything at Neeleshwar is superb: the spacious comfortable villas with private open-air bathrooms, the consistently delicious food at every meal and the attentive chef and waiting staff, the gorgeous beach and pool (swimming at the beach is not always available due to the ocean swell), the fabulous excursions (don't miss the Theyyam temple ceremony and a day on the back waters in the resort boat - you'll be pampered) and the excellent yoga, meditation and spa packages (note that some of the hair treatments contain henna, but the staff are happy to advise you on the best package if you wish to avoid henna). Thank you to all of the amazing staff - you made us feel at home. We miss you and Neeleshwar already.
- Olivier (10/5): Hidden paradise. - Rustic yet luxurious an amazing property next to a small backwater and amazing clean beach. Staff were friendly and attentive. Meals at the seafood restaurant were scrumptious. Spa was a genuine treat and early morning yoga too. Overall we loved our stay. We really loved our stay and time however to improve peoples experiences here is some constructive criticism. Fruit juices were diluted with too much water. Day pool-side snacks need to improve. Rooms need to be cleaned better each day. Some maintenance needs to be done with some termite damage on the wooden floors and some care to the lovely red teak wood used for the cottage roofs. Although we loved the seafood restaurant, prices were quite high.
- Sarah (10/5): A peaceful, relaxing , oasis - just an amazing place to stay, staff were amazing! mosquitoes haha
- Mr (10/5): Really enjoyed the stay - Spacious rooms and the hospitality Food was very expensive

- Ajitta (2/5): - Improper guidance from the staff last minute changes informed by the staff and rules are not clearly mentioned to the customer before check in, totally waste of time and lack of hospitality manners overall it was horrible experience for me if you are coming after a hectic day to enjoy your stay it’s not your place
- Pranovi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dalila (10/5): Perfect. Just perfect, in every single aspect - The property is beautiful. All the cottages are very well maintained, the gardens and paths between them are always pristine clean and it’s a sight for tired eyes. Both restaurants are amazing, and the staff!!! They are just perfect. All of them, so professional and so kind! We had the luck to arrive on Diwali, so there was a special performance by musicians and we all helped with the lights after sunset. The pool area is also very peaceful and quiet. Our cottage was very big and very comfortable, and the bathroom was half-closed, which gave a sensation of being outside while showering and a very nice one. We chose this resort precisely to take a break from the traffic and craziness of the last 2weeks traveling by motorcycle, and we couldn’t be happier with this place. It was the perfect ending for the perfect trip to India. I recommend it vividly to everyone who has the opportunity to stay here. There wasn’t a single thing that wasn’t perfect.
- M (8/5): Very good -
- Raphael (7/5): Good -
- Blessen (10/5): Mr Jayan the GM personally invited us and was at our beck and call - Infinity pool Lagoon and beach view

- Yogmaya (8/5): Beautiful location! - The ambiance and the fact that it is walkable to the ocean. The staff was friendly. Good service!
- Pieter (9/5): Superb -
- Abhay (9/5): Rest, Refresh, Healthify in the luxurious experience of nature and gourmet cook - Cottages are nicely spread out giving privacy and sense of security. Large rooms and open air bathroom was lovely. Staff provides service with a smile and met our special food requests also. Breakfast items are as per request and the freshly made dosa, pancakes, omlette, coorgi coffee in french press was a great way to start the morning - all were tastefully made and presented. Privacy at the beach, pool by the beach were enjoyed to savour the sea exposure. Dont miss the cycle ride to the neighbourhood - good physical exercise. Food while tasty was a bit overpriced - request the resort to relook at the pricing. Perhaps because of the festive holiday, the housekeeping staff was unreachable to attend the A/C in one room that was not effectively cooling. Besides these two issues there is no reason to not visit this place for a leisurely, refreshing, healthful stay that we will cherish for a long time.
- Anish (8/5): Very good - The prices at restaurant are at par with foreign currency values very costly on locals like us
- Vasantha (6/5): It was average not worth the value. - Location is good. Major drawback no fridge and coffee kettle in the room. Quality of food is average prepared with coconut oil and cashew nut. Rooms are not maintained well ceiling fan and geyser were not working. Parking place is haphazard not planned.
- Krishna (9/5): Exceptionally clean, eco friendly and value for money location must see - Courteous People, Tranquil Ambience, serene location, clean beach, practice of sustainability and usage of local, traditional architecture and art. Breakfast spread could have been better, it was very predictable and there was no wow factor there. Could have been more exciting
- Mohammed (9/5): very good - rooms and views food
- Jahnavi (9/5): Superb -
- Verified traveler (10/5): Outstanding Stay - We had a fantastic stay. The staff are so helpful and the location could not be better. An amazing retreat on the coast of Southern India
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent beach facing cottages very curative hospitality truly eco luxury will.cherish this.experience forever
- Starsitar (10/5): - Beautifully presented property on the beach. High quality amenities - not the full 5 star facilities - but this is more idyllic retreat than resort. Friendly staff. Free yoga. Great breakfast. Recommended.
