‘A magnificent stay’ Original review
everything was fine. The treatment did us a lot of good. We enjoyed the smile and the availability of all the staff. show more
-
- Hotel in general
- Very nice, well maintained, clean and quiet place. Too bad the view of the sea overlooks the back of the temple which is not always very clean
-
- Service and hospitality
- Professional staff, smiling, responsive and attentive.

- Excellent tasty food, creative variety ... We did not get tired of it!

- Spa, treatment and pool area
- Beautiful spa area. Pool too small and with the sound of a nearby engine which makes the experience not very pleasant

‘perfect first Ayverda treatment’ Original review
The treatment was perfect from start to finish. Picking up from the airport in the middle of the night with the immediate availability of my cottage to all the Ayurvedic applications (Anand is the best masseur for me) and the absolutely delicious food ... everything was super perfect! show more
-
- Hotel in general
- Super friendly lobby area with Wi-Fi. I had a cottage (without air conditioning) which was simple but perfectly adequate. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and almost every cottage has a hammock. The nearby temple did not bother me personally.
-
- Service and hospitality
- Super friendly staff. The entire Ayuverda area, the doctors and the masseurs were absolutely professional and friendly. Problems were immediately addressed (for example, the beds are a little hard and you got a topper on demand). Also the waiters in the restaurant were always very friendly and professional.
-
- Cuisine
- What can I say, I was 21 days in the hotel and lost 4 pounds. Still, the food was fantastic. It was extremely varied and I have hardly missed any meat in all 3 weeks. Especially the soups were for me (I love soups) an absolute highlight (mostly reordered)
-
- Treatments and programmes
- The entire team (doctors and masseurs) was absolutely professional and endeavored for the well-being of the guest. It was my first Ayuverda experience but definitely not my last one. All my "problems" have been fixed and after the 3 weeks I am completely relaxed and "committed". I can even sleep through the night again. All applications have been successful with me and have helped me to a very beautiful and balanced life.

‘Relaxing and an almost spiritual place for me.’ Original review
An Ayurveda hotel that is simple in the bungalows, top food and treatments with a family atmosphere. Price-performance is also great. show more
-
- Hotel in general
- The hotel is located in the tropics, right on the ocean, well maintained with minor architectural flaws that you can overlook when in India. The food is fantastic, the 2 hour massages too.
-
- Service and hospitality
- A hotel with a family culture, 90% German guests, many solo travelers, one quickly gets into conversation and can also withdraw, if you need peace.
-
- Cuisine
- Breakfast consisting of tropical, ripe fruits that taste wonderful. You can also have Indian breakfast, wheat pancakes and cereal if you want. For lunch and dinner about 8 different vegan vegetable dishes (wonderful aroma), salads and desserts. Everything 5 stars in the sense of health.
-
- Spa, treatment and pool area
- The pool is a bit small, but enough to swim and relax for half an hour. The treatment area has several rooms, each with a couch for the different oil applications.
-
- Treatments and programmes
- I have been to the Nikkis many times and find the 2 hour treatments to be very beneficial to the body, mind and soul as well as to the skin and muscles. In the ayurvedic sense, the massages do not have to do with well-being as with us but with the discharge of toxins through the skin. The approach is different.
