Amritara Poovath Beachfront Heritage

We had the most amazing time at Amritara The Poovath Beach Heritage Hotel. From booking to checkout everything ran so smoothly. The service was warm, our beds were comfortable, the food was delicious and the beach views from the hotel are phenomenal (especially during sunrise and sunset). As a woman, I felt completely safe. A special mention to Gokul for his kindness and patience as he booked multiple tours, drivers and laundry services for us. Another special mention to Yadab and Dheergan and their friends for their warm hospitality at the hotel restaurant. We already miss the place greatly!

It was a fantastic experience. Everything went well, from the contact previous to my arrival to the professionalism and grace of everyone highlighting the hotel's driver, Manuel and the breakfast and dinner staff who were amazing. I recommend to anyone who wants to be close to the traditional centre of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry, but also with easy access to other areas of Kochi.

I recently stayed at this charming small hotel in Old Kochi, and it was truly a wonderful experience. With only six rooms, the atmosphere feels warm and personal, more like a beautiful home than a hotel. What really stood out was the staff—both at the front office and the restaurant. They were genuinely kind, helpful, and made me feel truly welcome throughout my stay. Dinner in the colonial patio was absolutely fantastic—delicious food in a beautifully serene setting. The hotel has preserved the character of the original private villa, which adds a lot of charm. The only slight downside was that my room was a bit noisy at times, due to the original main staircase that isn’t soundproofed—but honestly, that’s a small trade-off for staying in such a unique and historic place. Highly recommended for those who appreciate heritage, great hospitality, and a peaceful location in the heart of Old Kochi.

We stayed three nights at Amritara Poovath Heritage and our stay was excellent. Our room with sea view was very clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly, Ms Jiya and Mr. Gokul accomodated our special requests so speciap thanks to them. We will definately visit again.
