What a peaceful, proficient ayurvedic resort in an idyllic forest setting. Although we didn’t initially reserve more than the mid-priced “Karma” level lodge rooms thru Booking, we converted to a 7 day all-inclusive package after seeing the setup & hastily doing the math on arrival. Can vouch for quantity & quality of the treatments, sometimes 3 per day, and our very minor aches & pains were history by departure. Both my husband and I had their joint treatment package (me for an occasionally achy knee from skiing, and he for an off & on running injury.) Hats off to their excellent chef for the creative & scrumptious meals; retreat staff are also responsive & caring. The yoga & meditation classes were ably led. The rooms are comfortable with super air con. The pool is a real treat considering the heat. Other guests represent a nice mix of ages (from kids to the senior set) and nations, maybe a third being from India. Everyone we met was interesting & very personable. With the resort’s focus on improvement, I hope they’re heading toward better communication about 3 important things: 1. What all the medicines, lotions & potions are & how they work. You really have to diligently pursue answers from them. Honestly, other ayurvedic resorts have much better explanations online & that’s where we learned the most. 2. What individual treatments & packages cost—they really should post all options & costs online in advance. Not only would it reduce perceived decision-making stress on arrival, it would likely increase # of people participating in treatment packages. Folks who only took a few treatments during their stay didn’t seem much impressed, likely because it wasn’t comprehensive or customized. Included here are photos of the resort’s pricing structure I saw only briefly on arrival, they’re not terribly transparent, that part needs work. 3.

Very friendly, caring and helpful staff.

We are regular Booking.com travellers and would rate Parudeesa as Jack’s place as one of the nicest, best-located, and real values of all the places we have stayed. We didn’t feel anything different from Texas ( USA ) as it’s so European. We did hold an event here - including a photo session, food, welcoming with garlands, fireworks and other entertainment all managed by Jack ( he is truly a “ jack of all trades “ ) The place was very clean, modern, had everything we needed to feel at home, and was an easy walk to all the sites we wanted to see. Also, close to a big supermarket which was handy, and a few steps to dozens of restaurants and cafes. Communication was great too. We would highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone around the world. To be honest it cannot be compared to any other places on entire Kerala. Please don’t say no to - Rejuvenating Ayurvedic massage therapy and authentic food provided by the Manager ( Abhi ) at reasonable prices! What a team at Parudeesa- won’t forget these wonderful moments ever.

Super clean and affordable, staff incredibly friendly.
