I had an amazing experience at this unique retreat in Kerala, nestled on the river bank with stunning views. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the food was simply delicious, showcasing the best of Kerala's cuisine. However, there were some challenges with communication and the facilities could use some updates. Overall, it's a great place to disconnect and embrace tranquility.

My stay at this retreat was truly rejuvenating and memorable, with excellent yoga classes and wonderful Ayurvedic treatments throughout my time there. The serene location by the river provided a peaceful backdrop for relaxation. The staff's attention was remarkable, particularly the managers and the massage therapists. The only downside was that the yoga could be a bit challenging for beginners, but the instructors were accommodating. Overall, it was an incredible experience, definitely worth the visit!

My stay at this resort was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was peaceful and serene, perfect for anyone seeking relaxation. The service was very kind and attentive, making me feel at home. However, the bug issue in the room and the lack of adequate facilities were major drawbacks that cannot be overlooked. While the food was splendid and made me feel comfortable, I believe the resort needs a serious upgrade to improve the overall experience.

Staying at Elephant Pass was truly a memorable experience. The serene location by the river and the exceptional food made our retreat truly special. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, but communication could be a bit challenging at times. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind and connect with nature, although I would have loved more detailed guidance on Ayurvedic treatments.

I had an incredible experience at this retreat by the river where I could relax and recharge. The vegetarian meals were among the best Indian cuisine I've ever tasted, and the staff truly made me feel at home. Although everything was nearly perfect, I did wish for a bit more variety in some of the treatment options. The location is absolutely stunning, but a few more on-site activities would have been great.
