“has potential, but....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Amruthamgamaya has potential but we just didn't see it living up to it. From the guest book we read, it sounded like some people really enjoyed there time. For us, however, it just didn't live up to what we were hoping, given the ranking on Tripadvisor. The main reason we chose the spot for for yoga. However, during our 4 day trip there was only yoga two times. One of those times we waited 30 minutes for it to start. The start of meal time changed within a 1 1/2 hour window each day without us being told when to plan for it. Things like this made planning activities a challenge. This was an example of how poor the communication was between management and guests. Another example was that we had been there for a full day when we received an email from one of the owners asking us why we never showed up and saying they lost business because of us. Meanwhile, we had already spent the night there. Toilets can't accept toilet paper. If you do get the ayurveda treatments, I'd recommend bringing a mosquito coil or candle, as they were biting me through my treatment (despite wearing repellent) which made it anything but relaxing.

“Beautiful beyond words…”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

Earlier this week, I was at Amrutham; a boutique hideaway cocooned in the lap of nature near Kovalam. Amrutham is beautiful beyond words…

Amrutham is small and intimate- there are just 7 rooms (with en -suite bathrooms) at Amrutham. All the rooms are airy and spotlessly clean. The facilities at Amrutham include an ayurvedic centre and a swimming pool.

Your host at Amrutham is Sarah Cohen who hails from U.K. She runs Amrutham along with her friend Ajit who hails from a village near Kovalam. Sarah is as charming as the place she runs. Sarah first came to Kerala in 2001. She was so captivated by the beauty of Kerala that she decided to make it her home, a few years back.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Amrutham is a nice place to unwind. Personalized attention is given to guests staying at Amrutham by the in-house staff. Hats-off to them.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time that I had spent there. I can hardly wait for my next visit…

“holiday of a lifetime”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

peaceful heavenly atmosphere in comfortable accomodation
staff are helpful and friendly
lovely setting with pool and delicious food
main attraction is the yoga, massage and ayurvedic treatment
wonderful feeling of rejuvenation that was much needed!
good to be so close to the beach, fun for strolls.

Room Tip: higher floor has only AC room, usually not needed because good breeze and air flow

Not a pleasant experience. Poor food, service and over friendly staff. Would certainly not recommend this to anyone.

“This is the real McCoy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011

Fabulous fabulous fabulous!!
You cannot go wrong with this very special establishment that Sarah has put her all into setting up. She has done a fantastic job and is deeply rooted with the local community who have benefitted greatly also. Plenty of smiley faces around as a consequence. The Ayurvedic treatments are wonderful. Do go!
