아바드 터틀 비치

The resort is quite mediocre at best. For the price they charge, a lot more is expected- no value for money. Food (4 of our 6 dishes) frequently had excessive salt, same was conveyed to the restaurant. The New Year’s spread was quite good though.

The biggest highlight of this resort is its stunning beachfront location—peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The property is well maintained, rooms are spacious, and the food quality is very good. The staff is warm and welcoming. That said, there are a few areas that need attention. The room interiors are somewhat outdated, and management coordination can improve—especially with golf cart availability. A power outage lasting over an hour without backup was inconvenient, though the complimentary dinner offered afterward was appreciated. Connectivity is a concern, with weak mobile signals and unreliable Wi-Fi. Kitchen service could also be more efficient and better organized. Due to the LPG shortage in the state, outside dining options are limited, making in-house service even more important. Overall, a very enjoyable stay with scope for improvement in operations and infrastructure.

Had booked two beach cottages and it was quite spacious. Pros: Nice property with a lot of greenery all around. They have private access to the beach. The cottages are beautiful and quaint. Staff are polite and ready to help. Special shoutout to the security guards stationed at the beach side. Close to Kochi, so would definitely stay here again. Cons: Lunch at the restaurant took almost an hour to arrive. It was quite uncomfortable to sit in a bench waiting for the food arrive in the heat. The cottages need to be maintained a bit more, it is clean just that it is a bit jaded. The dinner buffet was quite good but the morning breakfast buffet was bland, I was expecting something vastly better as it was the Easter Sunday.

The resort is in the outskirts of the city. It leads to overcharging cabs to main city for tourist attractions. Also uber is not allowed, even if someone is coming to pick up for uber the union of taxi drivers forcefully make you cancel that. The restaurant is below par. The service in restraunt was inconsiderate and rude. With server mention that’s how it’s done here. Overall beach location is the only take away. You can’t swim here as the tides are high and unpredictable. Beware of big spiders and geckos in your rooms. As my pool room had plenty of them.

My best memory about the stay was the roar of the ocean while approaching the back of the resort. The stay was comfortable, the rooms were more or less clean and functional. The benches outside of the rooms facing the beach provided a convenient space to soak in the sun. The glass roof part of the bathroom in our room was cool but was leaky at some points and would let some rainwater seep in. The testament food was delicious though pricey. Did not have much staff interaction during our one-night stay with families of cousins.
