    Wonderful stay at Once Upon The River
    We had a lovely two nights stay at Once Upon The River. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. We had a delicious breakfast on the first morning but sadly, had to depart too early the following day, to have breakfast. We were quite late arriving and I had messaged beforehand to ask if we would be able to have dinner. Although the restaurant was closed, the chef came to see us and asked us to make our food selection from the menu. About thirty minutes later a delicious dinner was delivered to the terrace outside our room. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. We would love to return to stay, one day.

    Nice place, great staff, great food. Definitively worth of visiting.
    Indian-style breakfasts, with their diverse selection of curries, offered us a flavourful and satisfying start to the day. The blend of spices and textures provides a unique culinary experience. These breakfasts showcase a rich cultural tapestry and culinary expertise, celebrating the essence of global flavours and heritage. "Once Upon the River" was an exceptional hotel experience. Nestled within a sprawling semi-like tropical forest park, its location was a serene oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the surrounding busy area. The staff at the hotel were incredibly eager to assist, providing impeccable service with a warm and welcoming demeanour. Despite being situated in a lively location, the tranquillity of the hotel made it a peaceful retreat, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and accessibility.

    I only spent the night here, wish I had a few more hours to enjoy all amenities.
    The resort is beautiful with plenty of greenery by the river. The room is spacious.
    There is a musky odor in the room, maybe due to the humid climate Kerala has. But there are solutions to clear the smell.
