Nice experience as rains came pouring with greens all around, mango trees and swings to sit on. Danny, the caretaker, and the staff were kind and very helpful.
The hotel is in Ernekulum, close to the Lulu Mall, 15 minutes by public transportation to the ferry to Ft. Cochin . The hotel room was basic, clean, TV worked, Internet was best near the office and to some degree in the room and the hot water was slow to come ( but it did get hot).
There is a beautiful, large garden with many birds. Free yoga classes were available in the morning - with a teacher who tailored the class to our needs.
The owner and staff were very accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. There is no restaurant on site but at least three within a block.
We would strongly recommend this hotel for anyone who is interested in being in a real neighbor hood, not in the centre of the tourist area.
Gute einfache Unterkunft wie angegeben. Wir fĂŒhlten uns wohl.Einfaches sauberes ruhiges Zimmer. Leider etwas weit (45 Min. Taxifahrt) vom Flughafen entfernt. Ein Familienrestaurant ganz in der NĂ€he(alles auf indische VerhĂ€ltnisse abgestimmt und jene die Indien schon kennen).Freundliches Personal. Anlage mit vielen Orchideen und beschrifteten Pflanzen, Vogelvolieren.
A lovely little oasis, stayed just the one night after gruelling flights. It is a very quiet complex with beautiful gardens. We didn't like seeing the birds and animals in awful cages though.
I hadn't spent much time in the resort, as I had checked in late night, and left in the morning. But as far as I had stayed there, the stay was pleasant, and the services were good. It's hard to find such a place in the middle of the din of Kochi.
We found Palm Grove to be truly value for money.The hotel setting is very good surrounded by a garden. The rooms were decent and clean. The only drawback is that they do not have a restaurant service and had to order from a nearby restuarant
