The hotel had a cozy atmosphere. The service personnel was very attentive and did their job with high quality. Housekeepers changed sheets every other day and the sheets were very clean. The food that was included in the trip package was delicious and diverse. I would especially like to compliment ayurvedic center, where I was treated individually, massages were done... More

The Ideal Ayurvedic Resort in Chowara is handily located within a 30 - 45 minute drive from Trivandrum airport. The venue is very clean and comfortable, and even though the rooms are quite small, they have fill all the basic needs of a traveller. The staff is really friendly, and as the hotel was not fully booked during the time... More

On arrival we wondered where in the world the little mud path led to! The gates opened to a wondrous sight. A quiet peaceful pool area, surrounded by palms. This Centre offers Ayurvedic programmes, for our short stay we received a daily General Massage which was amazing. The food was excellent (especially the Fish) cooked and served at the pool... More

Good WiFi so we could skype our family on Christmas Day by the pool. We had... More

The resort is set away from the busier/ dirtier town of Kovalam, and is a short walk from a beautiful white sand beach (Chowara). Rooms were... More

In 2011 I returned for the second time to Ideal Resort especially for Ayurvedic treatment. I took my time and stayed there for 30 days. That was an excellent idea. I very much enjoyed how the doctors' prescriptions were exactly executed by the entire team of therapists. I enjoyed the emphasis they put on cleanliness and hygiene. That was primordial... More

I have just returned from a stay at the ldeal Ayurvedic Resort for 9 days and had a wonderful experience there. The room was simple but clean and roomy. The food was thoughtfully prepared and fresh. I asked the cook to prepare vegetarian meals without much spice and every day he brought the perfect meal. The fruit salad is huge... More
