Ramesh Chandran : August 2011

Hi there Tijo,

My wife and I had a fantastic time on the houseboat. It was an experience out of this world. By the way, the crew who were with us (Rejeesh, Vinod and Sijo from Spice Routes Caromom Houseboat) were excellent guys. They were extremely hospitable, accommodated all our requests, were very knowledgeable and answered all our queries.. Oh, and those guys whipped up the best food we've had in Kerala so far.. They are great guys and you must convey my regards to them. As for the transfer from The Leela to Cochin Airport, I'd like to thank you once again for helping make it happen.

Thanks for the great help and assistance once again, Tijo.

Cheers

Ramesh

The elephants were the children's highlight and John and I loved the spice village with it's eco systems and spice. We all loved the boat, waking up in the morning and watching India start its day by the river.

Beautiful position lovely bedrooms and a great place to start the holiday. Can't find the button to add comments on another hotel. All really good hotels. The coconut lagoon was the weekest. The staff looked a bit tired and the food and service wasn't as good. Probably because all the other hotels were so good.
