1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The most enjoyable part of my holiday was the ayurvedic treatments that I had. The staff at the resort were also so nice, they couldn't do enough for you and always had a smile on their faces. I also felt like I was staying with family as that is how they made you feel. I really enjoyed the yoga every morning, the yoga tutor was excellent. Mr Menon the owner of the resort was very welcoming and would take time out to come and chat to us, Dr Vidhya (one of the ayurvedic doctors) was very helpful and was always around for anything you needed.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
I think it is important to let people know that this is not just a holiday resort but a ayurvedic treatment resort. You are assessed by ayurvedic Doctors and prescribed medication and treatments according to your problem.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
It appeared to as most of the staff at the resort were local.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent! I loved it and would love to back again sometime.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I very much enjoyed the yoga sessions in the early morning which took place in a pavillion overlooking the river and paddy fields. With the mist over the river and sounds of birds, it was a magical experience.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be aware that there may not be any other non-Indian residents which, as there is not a lot to do in the evenings, can be quite isolating if you are travelling alone.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
I couldn't see direct impacts on the local people or environment but many of the staff were local so it is providing jobs in the community.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent.

I do feel it benefited local people as all of the staff were local and they didn't seem to impact on the environment in any detrimental way.

I would say average for what it was, as I said don't expect anything more than the basic amenities.
