Manaltheeram is rightfully one of the most popular resorts for a proper Ayurvedaholiday. With a lovely setting overlooking the vast beach in Chowara, south Kerala, bungalows imbedded in greenery; bushes, flowers and coconuttrees and all facilities in the resort in close proximity.

After a 9-day trip in Tamil Nadu and northern Kerala we arrived at this hotel to relax only for a day and a half ( due to an early flight back home ). I really didn't like the travellers' photos of the hotel but we chose to go there. Fortunately the hotel is much better. The rooms are nice, wooden... More

Definitely a place I would recommend. On the Kerala coast you could spend double the amount at a hotel which has a brand name and still not have such a good time. The accommodation at Manaltheeram is of a high standard and the setting is fabulous. (The Manltheeram Resort is in a better location than the sister hotel Somaltheeram which... More

Have been in south... More

Had we known how great this resort was we would have stayed longer because our next resort was a disaster. M.A.B.V was truly awesome with the hammocks dotted around all over, the eating under the palm trees and more than anything the tranquility. How we wish we had stayed longer.

We did not indulge in the ayeverdic... More

Nice location but totally rip-off We booked via booking.com a bungalow with "air Condition" and "see view". But when we arrived the stuff said us, that they are totally booked out and they will send us to the neighbor resort in the Hills which is the same (it´s not...it´s in the Hills and not at the beach). There they tried... More

We came for 3 nights over Xmas and it served its purpose of being a beach resort and not being too expensive. The setting of the resort is fantastic, you cannot fault it; right next to the beach, with the resorts outdoor dining overlooking the beach and sea. The main let down was the food and drinks, with the buffet... More
