We were booked by an agent, and thought we were going to the Sheraton. On arrival we were disappointed at the error, but not for long. Staff were lovely and very accommodating, room was great, with a balcony as well. We went twice to their seafood restaurant across the road, which has only been open a month, not even a sign up yet. Food was sensational, I was so surprised. The first night we had a seafood platter, which had 2 giant tiger prawns, a big cutlet of seabass, calamari and prawns, and a side dish of fried anchovies. The second night we had whole sea bass and mud crab I only wish they were licensed, a glass of Reisling would have made it perfect.

Nihara is a beautiful property located at Cheranalloor, Kochi. It is very close (within one kilometre) of Aster Medcity. It has a chalets type accommodation consisting of one bedroom studios. The place is close to Kochi’s backwaters. It is a calm and quiet place with lust greenery and plenty of fruit trees. There is an open space for campfire and open air gatherings. The property has a restaurant which serves authentic South Indian breakfast every morning. The breakfast is good for Indians, but overseas visitors will not relish it. They need to improve it with more continental items to make it attractive for foreigners. The property ha excellent housekeeping team and all the staff are friendly and helpful. My friends from Oman and me spent around seven days in the resort. We enjoyed our stay. My guests enjoyed everything except the food which was predominantly Indian.…

We had an amazing time at Nihara Resort catching up with good old friends and their families in Kochi on vacation away from our home in New Orleans, USA. Our school and college buddies were treating us at the resort. Nihara offers the serene Kerala beauty of back waters, yet close to the busy city center. We could watch the lively waterway from the sit out yard, traditional ferry crossing boats passing and fish vending small canoes filled with fresh catches docking at nearby residential waterway steps, negotiating prices with the neighboring households etc. Our childhood memories of Kerala village life watching from the resort shore was priceless for us. Food variety at the resort was excellent, nicely prepared Kerala dishes with choices of seafood and variety meats spiced just right. The stay at the resort gave us an unforgettable look back to a past we all could capture back. Staff could not be any more professional and nice, tending to any requests with a smile. Thanks for a wonderful time at the resort. Basil and Molly, New Orleans, USA…

Nihara Resort is a wonderful property manned by very hospitable staff. The garden view cottage is both beautiful and tastefully done. Clean and soothing you wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Again the staff at reception and housekeeping are thoroughly helpful and always with a smile. Now Nihara stands apart from other places just for the food. The lunch spread with authentic local cuisine is everything you want and more. Again the place is very near Cochin city and conveyance is in abundance.
