Bed was very hard

Location perfect. Could sit on the balcony and watch the sun go down over the sea. Staff friendly and accommodating. Room was well cleaned daily. Lovely swimming pool in well kept garden area.

Amazing beachside stay with a beautiful pool! Perfect for relaxation, with stunning views and a peaceful vibe. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. Highly recommended!

We were originally allocated the only room on the ground floor. This is not as well appointed as the bedrooms on the first floor, and is behind the sea defences, so doesn't have sea views. We were moved after the first night. Apparently, those who have booked directly with the hotel get priority.

Well located on the beach, with a good pool. The staff were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. This is a good option if you've just arrived at Kochi airport and you need some recovery time after a long flight.

Unfortunately the food for us was a bit bland, as we like it spicy. But we understand that it’s a hard task to get the levels right for everyone and it gave us the opportunity to try some amazing local places to eat, we found some fabulous Keralan dishes and the best fish we tasted in Kerala at the Chai Spot up the road! However, that said, the Keralan breakfast was tasty and good (although still not spicy) and eating on top of the building looking over the beach is very special. The photo below is taken of sunset from our balcony! No filter!!

The location is superb, the rooms are clean, the staff were super attentive and kind and helpful. It’s quite a rare find for somewhere with a bit of beach with sun beds, and I’m super glad we found it. Watching the sunset was beautiful. Jessie and Polo were so lovely, helped with taxis and anything we asked for. Constant supply of fresh drinking water brought to our rooms. A fridge! That was a lovely surprise after our 3 weeks travels around Kerala. And the pool is stunning, so clean, oh and the gardens! They must put so much work into looking after the gorgeous flora, couldn’t have been more delighted and would highly recommend.

The location is amazing with access to a small and calm beach! Owners and staff were very friendly and always available! Perfect place to stay before departing from Kochi airport!

The Keralan dishes on the menu are toned down for Westerners. I would have liked the option to have chillies in an authentic curry or sambal. Having said that the food was of a very high standard. There were no bicycles for guests to use. This would be a welcome feature in future.

Very friendly, helpful owners and staff. Very clean and well maintained pool with freshwater showers set in a beautiful garden. Plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas in the garden and on the beach across a very quiet road. Good laundry and ironing service. Transport advice and assistance provided trains, taxis, buses, scooty etc.

Language barrier at times makes it hard to communicate. The breakfast included was ok but not great. Food service can be a little slow & haphazard.

The people are lovely, friendly & helpful. It’s clean & comfortable with beautifully kept gardens, pools etc. it’s very cared for. Absolutely beautiful across the road from the beach. The staff come to the beach & ask you if you need anything. And there’s always recliners & shades up for us to use. So nice. Very relaxing place.

The juice at breakfast and at the dinner on the first night had been watered down. I complained and got the real thing. Incredibly petty considering what a nice hotel it is. The photo of the hotel looks as it iis on the beach but actually there is a road.to cross. Not a big deal but not accurate.

Room with sea view and balcony Beautiful garden with swimming pool Helpful owner and his wife organising taxi from the airport. The only hotel on Cherai Beach that has private sun loungers and different coloured umbrellas on the beach which is a huge bonus

Location and hospitality

Stayed in February 2025

We stayed in a house close to the Cherai Beach Residency, where there are 2 rooms and an apartment. We stayed in the apartment, it was wonderful, especially the huge balcony with sea views. The only drawback was that the wifi in the apartment wasn't strong enough for all my needs. Enough for Whatsapp and getting emails, but not enough for downloading larger files. For that I needed to go downstairs to where the router was. A minor issue, all things considered.

We had just come from 20 days of Panchakarma, and the owners and staff accomodated our every desire regarding our meals, to the point of chosing the spices we wanted, and how our dishes should be prepared. They hava a vegetable garden and would tell us what veggies had been picked that day, and how we would like them to be prepared. There is an authentic giving attitude in all they do to make you happy. The spot on the beach is the best we saw, with a wide portion of sand, and beach lounges and parasols for the guests. The pool area is wonderful, surrounded by palm trees and flowers. The owners and the staff went well beyond what one normally expects staying in a hotel. Generous, respectful od our privacy, kind, and good natured. We only got smiles and perfect service. We walked up and down the beach, and couldn't find a better place.

breakfast fast could be a little better, more fresh home cooked with quality produce. We had one one dinner and I was a little disappointed so we went out!

Nice lassi, Service was lovely on the roof, by the beautiful swimming pool or on the beach and always with a smile. Beach walk, birds and flowers! Good wifi

Excellent quiet location, right on the beach, about 10 minutes away from the more touristy beach area with a series of restaurants

Absolutely nothing!

I am so delighted to have discovered Cherai Beah Residency on my first trip to Kerela - staying there was a delight - the welcome is warm and the setting exceptional with a lovely garden and pool to one side and beautiful Cherai Beach just across the road to the other. The hotel is authentically Kerelan in the best possible way - clean comfortable rooms, delicious Kereral style breakfast served on the roof terrace is included and the staff are gracious and helpful. I highly recommend Cherai Beach Residency to you!!

Only a minor point but the double bed was actually two singles pushed together but it didn't spoil what was a fantastic stay

The location and the staff/owners were amazing. Breakfast great, sunbeds on the beach. Room was good and had aircon and a fan. Swimming pool was lovely and the grounds are beautiful. I would highly recommend

Nothing

The staff at this hotel go above and beyond. The room was cleaned daily with fresh sheets and towels. The pool was immaculate as were the lush surrounding gardens. We stayed here over Christmas and it was an experience we will cherish. The local restaurants serve delicious food, albeit not many have a drinks license but, it would not deter us from returning. The stunning beach literally across the road, has sunbeds with pool towels. A rare find in Cherai. We would definitely return and recommend this gem in Cherai.

The location is perfect for a beach day, right across a quiet street. The restaurant on the rooftop is a great place to people watch in the beach and street. The cook is great. I love the Geckos running around the garden.

The fruit at breakfast could have been more plentiful.

An idyllic 3 day break at the end of our trip to Kerala. What's not to like? Our hardest decision was whether to spend the day by the pool and the perfectly kept gardens or on the sun loungers on the beach opposite. The staff were all friendly and attentive and booked us massage treatments at a local retreat and organised our car journey back to the airport. Breakfasts were taken on the roof terrace. The stretch of beach opposite the hotel is very quiet and while there was definitely a swell from the waves, the current wasn't strong and in fact the water is quite shallow so swimming in the sea was perfect. Hotel is less than a 15 minute walk to local restaurants. Great place to unwind.

The nearest restaurants are like a km away so if you have rented vehicle it's easier to travel ( They do serve food in the hotel as well )

The owners were really good and even helped to get cab for airport at reasonable price. They had even arranged rented scooty for us. The beach is just across the road and without crowd so easier to relax.
