We initially felt quite disappointed after we read the reviews saying the food wasn't up to much - after we had confirmed a week's stay. However, we both agree that the Bethsaida had obviously taken on board some of the feedback and made some massive improvements. We loved the food every time we ate. (And we eat out a lot... more

This gorgeous yet unpretentious resort includes all the basics - clean and attractive rooms, very well maintained pool overlooking the ocean, lovely beach, good ocean swimming, outdoor dining, ayervedic treatments - but it is the ethical approach that impressed me the most. Tips are pooled, profits support schools, and guests are encouraged to behave respectfully to local vendors of crafts... more

This is more like a health resort - the food was 'ayurvedic' which basically meant it was plain and tasteless. Most people staying when we were there were part of a German package holiday and clearly had no clue about Indian food. The atmosphere is quite sterile and strangely silent. There are few other options for food - we went... more

We stayed 3 nights at the Bethsaida. It's a beautiful and luxurious place, a bit expensive for India but it's nice to know that the profits of the hotel go to the two neighboring schools/orphanage. I liked the ecological aspect too. The rooms are very spacious, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The pool is very nice and the beach as... more

We stayed at Bethsaida Hermitage for two weeks with our two children aged 6 and 5 respectively. The setting is really spectacular as we are facing the sea which is literally 10 meters away from the nearest rooms and the gorgeous swimming pool. The food is really excellent and the entire staff always smiling, nice and very helpful. The resort... more

Despite the mainly favourable reviews on here, I was apprehensive about my stay as our Agents in India had not heard of the property and local Ground Operators in Kerala tried to recommend other properties for me to stay at! I need not have worried! As long as you are not expecting standards higher than what I would rate as... more

We stayed here mid May and had a fantastic time, it was off peak so there were only 8 people in our room. If you are looking for mod cons like TVs, gym, tennis court etc it is not the place to stay. The private beech was clean not like some of the other hotels. The staff were friendly and... more

We stayed here for five nights at the end of our five week stay in India. We were welcomed with a flower garland and fresh coconut drink. Our room was ready for us at on our arrival at 10.00am. We were shown through the beautifully kept grounds, down winding steps and across the lawn to our sea view room. The... more
