Better than the best hotels in Kovalam

Poovar Beach
Estuary Island Resort is a hidden gem in Poovar, Kerala. Visiting God's Own Country is something one should definitely do in one's lifetime. So this time around I settled on Estuary Island Resort- I'd heard great things about it from my friends who went there last year and the reviews on TripAdvisor clinched the deal.

The location – from all that I’d heard- was wonderful. Apparently, it is where the backwaters meet the estuary, hence the name .And I decided to check it out myself. The location of resort could not have been better. It’s actually pretty amazing. The evenings- oh I still reminisce about the time I spent sitting in gazebo watching the sun set and it was all just wonderful.

Poovar’s main attraction is the Poovar Beach, located a short distance away from the resort. It’s a great place to chill during the evenings.

Talking about food- they have some three-four restaurants! The resort’s flagship restaurant, Ripples is simply wonderful- brilliant ambience and really yummy food.

As far as accommodation goes- they have nice, huge rooms with great views. Talk about room with a view. The rooms were good, all the modern amenities. I visited the spa as well during my week here and found it to be pretty relaxing.

Overall, a pretty good vacation at this beach resort!
