Pros:

Ripples Resort made our Kerala vacation. The food, service, and accommodations were all excellent. We stayed for five nights.

We had a bungalow near the canal. It was spacious, with a big living room, a bedroom, a small dressing area (I think), and an outdoor shower. It felt peaceful and private.

We did yoga on the last three days. I wish we’d started earlier. Deepa, the instructor, checked in with us and built routines that worked for our level. I’m not usually into yoga, but I looked forward to it each morning.

The food was everything I’d hoped for—authentic Kerala dishes, full of flavor. One morning, I even got to try sweet toddy. That was a treat.

There were bugs, but picaridin saved the day. I've stayed in other resorts in the area. I'm going back to this place.

Pros:

It's a good for honeymoon couples. There's nothing for sightseeing. I don't know why it's so famous.

There are no shops or restaurants nearby.

One has to dine in resort's restaurant only. Food is good
