We loved our 3 night stay at the Old Lighthouse Bristow. We stayed in a garden view room, which despite being the cheapest room was lovely, light and spacious with a huge bathroom and bath if you were so inclined. The hotel itself has a lovely, old world charm and you can definitely feel the history being there, plus the location overlooking the sea just can't be beaten. I was very pleasantly surprised by the pool area, it is small and could benefit from a couple of extra pool lounges but it's impeccably clean and the setting amongst the garden is just gorgeous. We spent several mornings relaxing there and then sitting at the sea side lounge enjoying a couple of beers.

The food is also delicious, we ate there multiple times and everything was great. You can even get bacon for breakfast.

Lastly the service was awesome. For instance on our first night when we went to sit outside, our waiter followed us out to bring us insect repellent because of the mosquitoes. Super thoughtful. Everyone was like this, right up until we left, after enjoying the facilities for several hours after we officially checked out, at the staff's behest. My only critique would be that they need an extra staff member working the outdoor lounge in the afternoon because the poor guy doing that shift was run off his feet.

We enjoyed it so much, we're considering leaving our current accommodation and going back to the lighthouse for one more night. Highly recommended.

We arrived after a long flight from Shanghai and we’re welcomed by Manuel at the airport. On our way to the hotel Manuel shared great information for our stay in Kerala.
The hotel is a bliss, wonderful, spacious rooms, fantastic location with great views. The hotel staff are most friendly and the restaurant serves delicious, authentic meals.
We took a spa treatment (full body massage and foot massage) in their spa. Johnston, Jessie and Yosemi were very professional.
Manuel drove us to our next location (Kumarakom) and made all efforts to take a scenic route to show us beautiful Kerala

I spent three very pleasant days in this beautiful colonial house very well located in Fort Koshi. The food in the restaurant is delicious. I particularly appreciated the service: as my room above the kitchen was noisy I was changed immediately without problems. I was able to book my train tickets thanks to the manager. Special mention for the driver Manuel who is an excellent driver, friendly, full of good advice. He even accompanied me to the platform of the station to be certain that I was not in the wrong train. I really appreciated !
