Oceana Hills Residency

The staff made our stay perfect. Lalji took care of us and organised a boat tour for us as well as a driver & tuktuk to take us around. He also gave us prime parking within the residence. Breakfast was also really good and we appreciated the cook catering to our request. We were notified by Lalji of an upcoming power cut before it happened and we still had the generator with the fam working during the period. They really go above and beyond for their guests. Thank you

Do note the train line at the back of the residence. We were aware & asked for a room at the front so weren’t impacted greatly but you can still here it when it passes by

Location

Nothing

We don't have enough good things to say about our stay here in Allepy! Selva was so incredibly kind and made us feel right at home, always greeting us with a smile, asking how we were doing, and making sure everything with the room was up to standard. The location was very convenient, as it's 5 minutes from the beach (go after 8pm when all the food stalls open up) and 10 minutes away from various cafes/restaurants, but still incredibly quiet and peaceful. The breakfast every morning was delicious and definitely an added bonus. Thanks again for the amazing stay:)

We found the room a little disappointing as the outside of the hotel and photos reflected more quality. Cockroach in bathroom. Reception staff helpfully booked us an excursion on the backwaters for 3000 rs which we were told was all inclusive and the use of a tuk tuk there and back was discussed. However when reaching the landing area the tuk tuk driver needed paying. This was put down to a misunderstanding by management but left us out of budget as it was an unexpected charge. The excursion itself was a bit dull and overpriced compared to backwater trips we took on Munroe island. The local beach is having lots of construction work nearby so we didn't spend much time there. Next time visiting Alleppey we would choose to stay at the backwater side of town where there are more amenities. Breakfast was ok but we had to ask for everything and didn't realise that we could have ordered a western breakfast (omelette & toast) had we not read previous guest reviews. Perhaps a menu card of what options were available would have been helpful
