We, 6 friends, had a get together at Renai Kappad Beach resort. They have beautiful cottages with balconies facing the beach. We enjoyed the food, especially the buffet breakfast. They have some minimal facilities to play badminton, tt, cricket, cycling etc. We enjoyed playing cricket on their lawn and swimming in their well maintained pool. When I forgot some of my clothes there, they even couriered them to my address.
Kappad Beach resort is a short 40 minute drive away from Calicut Railway station and a good hour or more, depending on traffic, from Calicut International airport. The best thing about the resort is that it is just across from the main public beach and you can watch the sunset from your rooms. Staff were nice and helpful and breakfast had a decent spread. Food otherwise was alright. Rooms were nice and cozy though quite dated. WiFi was spotty and there was no phone reception in the room. And you had to wait for quite some time before you got any hot water trickle from the shower. The biggest issue was communication. They had initially agreed to upgrading our room to the upper sea facing room in the newer block but then refused to do so without paying extra. When I raised this with their customer service, I received no response, which I thought was quite poor. Breakfast starts at 7:30am and on one of the days when I went in early and asked for black tea, instead of just telling me that they were not ready, one of the staff mentioned that they would have to charge for serving before 7:30am, which was just plain disappointing. They need to take their cue from other resorts who go out of their way to prepare breakfast take-outs when guests head early for tours or departure! Their transfer to the airport, though at a charge, was quite nice thanks to a joyful driver, who was on time even though it was quite early. Since there is not much to do around the area, this resort is best for folks looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing time.…
We have been here for 13 nights & initially we wondered if that would be too long. We now wish we were here longer! We were in room 404, one of the newer and more modern rooms. It has the best sea views & a couple of days we've watched dolphins play for hours from our spacious balcony. Above all are the wonderful staff..everyone from Reception, restaurant staff and housekeeping. Always smiling & keen to make sure our stay was perfect. We have a late flight & they let us have a late check out which we really really appreciated. There is not much to do in the immediate area but we were more than happy with this as we wanted the first 2 weeks of our month trip to be relaxing. Theres a beautiful large pool and the beach (uncrowded) on your doorstep. Theres a bar within the grounds that sell beer and wine (the wine wasnt great) & initially can be intimidating for a woman to go in there..its not common. However, the beer was cold, cheap and we met some great people there. All in all, we've had a great stay here and will miss the serenity and beauty. Thank you to you all …
It is a fantastic place for leisure travel.Rooms are sea view.Beach is just across the hotel.Rooms are neat and clean.Food in restaurant is very good.Nice staff.Overall the experience us very good and relaxing
An ideal location for a complete family meet. Our family meet was on 25/26 of December and we booked the complete resort for all of us. A total number of 80 guests working at various locations all over were present and everyone equally enjoyed. The food that we selected was served and it was absolutely flawless. All of us are still talking about the enjoyment and the good time we had. The staff under the leadership of Mr Ramesh was great and they were absolutely dedicated in serving the guests. We have no hesitation in recommending Renai Kappad Resorts to anyone who are looking for a good break near sea side with all family atmosphere. The place is great. Best wishes....keep up the good job. Sudeer chandran
We stayed at kappad beach resort in the month of October...our choice was beach facing premium room...stay was good...food was ok...staff ..lacking professionalism ...beautiful view of beach...got some good pics of birds too...
My family & 22 students visit in this resort. it was a amazing experience. The room was very clean. The ladies staff was very friendly. They started new activities for customers, their Ayurveda massage center, and all of us took masssage,my students are very relaxed......... . The food was tasty."And not attending the call to reception or room service in night time...""Very good ambiance ,tasty food and beach view rooms.A room with a great beach view. Professional and perfectly trained staff. Super stay, super service. Absolute value for money. Most recommended!
Bad experience, some bad smell in the room,insects in the room that spoil our holiday, after lots of argument they have ready to change the room, we have paid for beach facing room but our new room was not provided beach facing room,swimming pool hasn't worked so children have become unhappy.
overall bad experience from the time i entered the room ,i was offered musty smelling room later i had to ventilate self by opening the windows and calling for a room freshener. The hotel operates only selected Tv Channels as per their deal with the satellite vendor and quality is extremely bad had to call the front desk several time for assistance since the signal transmittance was extremely poor quality . The Menu card available in the Rooms do not serves all the dishes ,i was told the the tandoori chef is on leave they can serve only the limited food ,finally i had to order food as per the hotel choice. The swimming pool has no privacy for the in house guest ,the hotel is conducting summer camp where the pool is fill up kids and curious looking parents across the pool.Post our swimming pool usage we had to walk with to the front desk requesting for towels and the same was offered only after 15 minutes of waiting. At 7.00pm a steward walk to rooms forcing us to place dinner order ,later we will be left with no choice in changing the order in case of any alternates or cancellation. Tea /coffee kettle in the room is broken and the top lid have rusted screw ,when request for coffee sachets it was informed we keep only tea bags in the room. The switch board in the bed had loose connection and had to call for assistance it was rectified late in the evening. The management has provided me with Preferred guest card so there is entitlement of 15% discount on food & beverage during my stay ,however i was refused and denied by giving discount . The greatest part is when requested for an update from the Hotel Manager i was told he is extremely busy in meeting and he had no time to meet. overall bad experience from this resort. Kindly do not take as for grated !!!…
I stayed just a night. Did late check in but found room was ready . Awesome location with good food. The rooms are specious and campus is also well maintained with uninterrupted view of Arabian sea. Kappad Beach is also very clean. Worth to visit !!!
