"to say my expectations were blown away is an understatement. The service is EXCEPTIONAL from the first and last step in and out of this hotel! The pool was amazing, the spa was INCREDIBLE and the service at every single touch point exceptional. Totally exceeded my expectations - will be back - thank you so much!!"
"The ambience, service, and attention to detail made it a memorable experience. Every moment felt warm and welcoming — from the elegant rooms to the courteous staff, everything was top-notch. Looking forward to returning soon!"
"It was a one night stay before a flight. The check in was quick (but 2 forms to fill in!); the room spacious and comfortable with efficient cooling. The lift played Brahms’ lullaby.
There is a small swimming pool which I enjoyed a couple of times, which seemed seldom used, but a real pleasure.
It’s located off some main road and easy to get places.
I had my best night’s sleep in 8 days in India and that was most welcome.
Breakfast was straightforward and simple.
It is in many ways like any other...

I will definitely be coming back"

"The property was being remodeled, so our floor was dusty/smelly (they did offer us a replacement room, but we were too tired to change the rooms).
The rooms and amenities look aged! Staff was excellent."
"My mother and aunt, both 70-years-old were staying at the hotel for a religious event happening in the town. the Hotel was very helpful and made the trip stress free (Literally it was stress free) they also assisted them in fulfilling the religious rituals for which they were there for.
Kudos to the hospitality team at Goodland Elegance TVM.

"This is a well kept small hotel set back into the jungle, about five minutes away from Trivandrum, with the sounds of native birds filling the air in the morning and evening. The rooms are comfortable, with beautiful tropical views, and the staff very accommodating."
