Flamingo boutique hotel was the last stop on our travels and just what we needed. The resort exceeded our expectations. It was a calm and serene setting, with an ayurvedic center next door with experienced fabulous staff. It offered rowing boats when we felt like an adventure 5 minutes from a beautiful white sandy beach. They lent us bicycles to take a trip. The food was delicious and the waiting staff were fab. Sharun head of staff, on arrival made us feel very welcome. He was very attentive, helpful and overall a beautiful person. Thank you Sharun... From jade and Shay

I don't have a bad word to say about this place!!!

We just love the antique style of the hotel. The room is clean and is large enough. The bed is huge and is comfortabel. The bathroom is large, clean and has a beautiful stone floor and wall shower. We chose the not open ceiling bathroom because of the rain. The staff is friendly, speaks English well and helped us with all our travel plans. The manager made sure all the plans worked and even checked afterwards. The restaurant is outdoors under a roof. The food is delicious! However, beware of mosquitos in the evening. The beach is about 20 minutes walk, or less than 5 minutes by tuktuk. There are some shops nearby the hotel.

We just stayed for 1,5 nights and then had to leave.

Love thus place .. looking forward to returning. The room, food and staff all wonderful. Felt like our special home. Thank you Ashwin such a beautiful young man and Rahul who organised birthday cake and was so helpful and kind. Thank you to the Chef and all the wonderfully trained staff. Beautiful garden and pool nice short walk to the beach.

Would be nice if there were other restaurants or shops to visit just for a change only because we stayed a week but if you were there 3 days or less you wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

A beautiful little quiet haven, perfect to relax and chill out. Staff super friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful spa next door with amazing massage. Nice little pool area and lovely unique way to get to the beach via hotels own canoes. Dinner excellent and even served beer and wine which was added bonus.

The only two negatives we had were there not enough sunbeds to accommodate all hotel guests so having extras even on grass areas would be good. Secondly buffet breakfast was not very good considering price point - it would be better to order the night before from a menu like for dinner or lunch. Apart from that everything was fab.

This hotel is on a backwater channel leading down to a quiet beach less than ten minutes away. The restaurant menu is good with vegan and veggie options. The pool is 10mtrs and warm. There are Kingfishers, Eagles, Flycatchers and other birds. Free canoes and basic bicycles are avaialable. It's very clean with lots of attention to detail. The air con works well. There are only ten rooms. There's not a lot around the hotel but you don't really need it. Very relaxing. The hotel staff are superb. This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in.

I liked everything about this hotel. Obviously the wonderful location includes mosquitoes, they like me so I used repellant and it was OK.

Location of this property is fabulous , very relaxed , lovely pool, rowing to the beach is magical. The beach itself was a lovely. surprise as it is clean and there are sunbeds to rent if you walk about 10 minutes along the beach which we really enjoyed. The menu / food in the restaurant was excellent some of the best we had in a 6 week trip of India . The staff were very helpful and kind .

Our room was very dark and there was no outside space . Also a little noisy from the road and the next door dog was barking in the night... this needs to be addressed . There are better rooms I think we had bad luck but we were there for 6 nights it would have been nice to have been offered a better room. Indian breakfast choice a bit limited.

We had a fabulous 3 nights here. Everything about it was right. Lovely open reception, only a few rooms, lots of space to wander round. Our rooms was fabulous. Spacious, comfortable, and with a lovely large bathroom. Staff were brilliant. ‘Sharon’ (I think - sorry) was especially helpful and friendly. Food was excellent. Wonderful fish curries etc. We went to Fisherman’s Café one evening, which was outstanding, and Palm Heaven another, good but not as good. But almost the best bit is the 10-minute kayak ride through the tropical backwater, dodging swooping eagles and colourful bee eaters, to get to the beach that spreads into the distance in both directions. The beach is wonderful and almost private. And visit the excellent small craft shop 5 mins along the road. I’d come back here in a flash.

A highlight of our trip. The staff are fantastic, so welcoming & helpful with anything we needed making it feel like home. The food at the restaurant was the best we had in Kerala, in such a beautiful setting. It’s very quiet (we had pool view room), hotel is in a great location, easy to get to Alleppey or Marari. The bed was really comfortable, had the amenities we needed and was very clean. The best thing was being able to canoe down to the beach to watch the sunset. Highly recommend this hotel.

We loved everything. The location is great, close to the beach and a short drive to the alleppey backwaters. The premises are beautiful and clean. Our room was big and had a great interior design. The room smelled wonderful! The food was very delicious and well priced. Especially the chicken dish with the long name :) Staff is very friendly. Sharun from the reception is the simply the best! He could help us with anything (e.g., organizing a shikarra and providing recommendations) and made us feel very comfortable. His friendly smile will be missed! We totally recommend a stay here.

We liked everything and would definitely return.

This is a family owned property built in 1960 by the Grandfather and turned into a beautiful resort. Very friendly and go out of their way to please you. Always cleaning with a smile. Maneesh at the restaurant was the best he goes out of his way to please you even if he notices you have not come down for breakfast or dinner will check on you. My husband fell sick and everyone went out of their way to get him a doctor and what he needed. Overall excellent and a must, must visit, we will be back.
