Tucked away on the secluded shores of Kakkathuruthu, the Island of Crows, Kayal mirrors the undiscovered, unspoiled natural beauty of Kerala. The only way to get here is by traditional rowboats. And when you're here, all you've got to do is give in to the moment. Take a pause. Put your dizzying routine on hold. And experience life as it were a hundred years ago.

At the outset Thanking Maneesha and her team for the wonderful hospitality. We were picked up by the capitan on the mainland then taken by the boat to the island. The sun can be pretty hot, please use appropriate head gear for protection from the sun. Try and book the bigger rooms if possible. The bed is comfortable and rooms are done well. The showers and toilets are outside the room. We had beautiful experiences from picking coconuts to fishing with a line. The most amazing was the sunset canoe cruise, this is absolutely peaceful and we highly recommend this. The captain sings well as, this makes the experience like Venice...

My first stay after the lockdown for 7 days. Felt extremely relaxed after almost a year of restrictions. Great nature all around with one side entirely overlooking the backwaters. The cottage room is nice, neat with all essentials. All variety of great food over the 7 days, without repetition. Extremely great staff with special mention to Saiju, Srikanth, Abhijit, Vijay Lakshmi and Indira. Host Maneesha takes care of all details.

What an amazing experience our stay here was! From the boat ride to the island it was a magical time. The peaceful atmosphere was a treat but the activities offered were also unique. The early morning trip to the fish auction was amazing. The boat dining experience under the stars was something we will never forget and the village walk was so interesting. The manager and his staff were professional and nothing was too much trouble. A fabulous stay we would love to repeat.

When I asked our trip organizer to recommend a special place to start our journey in Kerala, the answer was - Kayal! And indeed, Kayal is a little paradise. The property is beautiful, the atmosphere calm, the rooms are large and comfortable (the outdoor shower is awesome!), and the Kerala traditional food was very tasty. We enjoyed the sunset boat ride and the walk to the village, the friendly and smiley staff, especially Saiju the manager who was a perfect host. I am sorry we only met Maneesha, the owner for a very short time. She is a beautiful and special young woman and I hope will meet again!
