We have just spent 5 nights at the Estuary Island on the final part of our long fascinating tour of Southern India. Whilst we stayed in a wide variety of lodgings on our tour from really fantastic to mediocre, the Estuary Island was quite definitely the most disappointing. The hotel is undergoing huge extensions and the building work was constant... More

We stayed at this hotel for two weeks and found it really relaxing. The food was excellent and the staff brilliant, they could not do enough for you. We cannot believe that some reviews said the staff were rude, all we can say is we did not come across one member of staff who was less than helpful. We both... More

It is hard to review of this hotel because of many good aspect, some really bad. My mate and I stayed there for for night in B&b. Location. Excellent views toward sea, because hotel is located on an island in front of a wide river, and further on there is the ocean. Very nice. The location is however a limit,... More

During our visit to Kerala we decided to stay at Estuary Island Resort on Poovar island instead of more touristy and crowded Kovalam. This resort is about 25 km from Trivandrum and is located exactly at the mouth of Neyyar river estuary where it joins Arabian sea. This resort is reachable only by a boat and the 10 min ride... More

This is a tired, dirty run down hotel, in urgent need of renovation. It is only accessible by boat, from 6pm to 9am there is only limited staff to ferry people to the mainland. If the hotel was paradise this might not matter, but it was so bad we tried to escape as much as possible. The website is out... More

To all western travelers. Unless the Thomas group (Owners of this hotel) seriously understands that you can't expect to mix western travelers looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday resort and organize insentives for groups playing and shouting all day long all over the place, this hotel is doomed to drop seriously in TA rating. You can't have your cake... More

I was at Estuary Island in early Dec 2011. At the first glance the property looks pretty good but the moment you enter the room, reality bites you. I was given Room No 201 and the moment I entered the room a very foul smell welcomed me, the bathroom was too small and had no ventilation which made it too... More

There's a scenic boat ride to get to this hotel, and it looks lovely when you arrive. Once you get inside it starts to go a bit down hill. We checked in and got in to our room at about 4pm. There was no towels in the room, and after various calls to housekeeping / trips to reception we got... More
