Review

Beautiful resort, 2hours drive from Cochin airport, spacious accommodation, tropical gardens, sun & beach.
Staff are nice, try to look after all guests., but lack of communication, operation is not smooth, you have to request multiple times to get small things done. Appointment book is still managed manually, although a computer program is already in place. Management has good intention, but needs to provide more training.

The resort is generous with treatments required to get results, no additional charges except for special classes you request which are not offered to all guests.
The detox program is very effective. You definitely get a new healthier thinner body following the program.
The twice daily yoga classes are easy to follow, and your body is definitely alot more flexible after only two weeks. me
I tried healing program the first time, trying to develop more spiritual side, I did not experience any break through yet.

Accommodation is nice and spacious but not so clean.

Food is tasty, vegetarian menu subscribed by your doctor, but you can order additional non vegetarian food. First week, I really enjoyed it, and did not miss meat. Second week, starting to get tired of curries, but still ok. After two weeks, I could not eat meat, bit strange flavor🙄 let's see how long it'll affect me..

The resort also has a luxury house boat taking guests on a Kerala backwater lunch cruise, and few nights live cultural performances.

The resort offers complimentary day trip to Cochin city, 1.5hr drive from the resort
If you are not tired upon arrival, its better to visit the city on the way to the resort. Or you can see the attractions on the way to the airport.
Silk Air flied at almost 11pm from Cochin to Singapore. But I wasn't impressed by that flight, the seats in business class are recliners, not flat bed, not very comfortable, considering its an overnight flight.

Although Air India has flat bed in business, I'll try to avoid that airline, see my Air India review.

Cut your hair as short as possible before arrival, you'll need to wash your hair daily after the daily oil/herb massages.
