When I started looking for places to stay a month before the Christmas holidays, the beach resorts around Trivandrum were either full or exorbitantly priced. Thapovan Heritage Home had few rooms and were surprisingly moderately priced. The reservation desk got back promptly sending pictures of the Eagle's Nest rooms, which were the only ones available. We were surprised to find... More

This is a truly magical property! The landscaping, the food at the restaurants and the spa services - everything made our experience of this property quite special! The service of the restaurant at the beach property could be a bit quicker! The staff at the spa are very good at their profession and the massages are a must!

We stayed here for two nights towards the end of our holiday. Lovely peaceful tranquil place. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was rather small but neverheless clean. The food was very enjoyable and there was a good menu to choose from. Very relaxing after a hectic road trip.

The overall feel of the place is nice & friendly. The staff make this place great. They're friendly & well trained, always willing to lend a helping hand. The room was a little small for the price you pay, but considering the overall Kerala tourism prices, and the location of the room ( you walk down a few steps to... More

We spent three nights here at the end of two weeks throughout India and it was not long enough. The property is beautifully landscaped with orchids and exotic tropical vegetation overseen by the welcoming owner. There is a large staff onsite with kind people ready and willing to assist everywhere. The reception manager, Sunil, was absolutely outstanding. He was very... More

We have toured Kerala for 18 days and slept at at least 10 different so called mid ranged hotels. In comparison with all of them, Thapovan was a pleasant surprise. Don't expect European standard hotels in India except if you are prepare to pay for luxury hotels like the Leela's, Kempinski's etc. Hygiene is a major problem in these hotels... More
