Arabian Beach Resort

I had high expectations for this resort due to its great location, but unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant. Cons: Bathroom Nightmare: The bathroom door was broken, and unless you have a muscular build, good luck trying to close it. Ant Invasion: The room was infested with ants, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep without getting bitten. Horrible Tea: The tea served was probably the worst I've ever had--made with what felt like half a liter of milk for 10 glasses. It tasted like flavored hot water. Zero Privacy: If you value privacy, this is not the place for you. No Maintenance: The entire property seemed neglected, with zero upkeep. AC or Just a Fan? The air conditioner barely worked; it felt like having a regular fan running. Non-Existent Room Service: It seems the concept of room service doesn't exist here. Pros: Location: The only saving grace of this place is its location. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here unless management takes serious steps to improve the facilities and services.

Review for Arabian Beach Resort, Kannur||I recently visited Arabian Beach Resort in Kannur with eight of my friends (couples) for a weekend getaway. I booked this resort based on online reviews and a friend's recommendation, expecting a pleasant beachside stay.||The photos shared by the owner/manager made the place look appealing--an old bungalow-style house with a beautiful beach view. Since my friends were traveling from distant locations, I wanted to give them a memorable beach experience. The interiors appeared old but neat in the photos, so I assumed it would be fine for a two-night stay.||However, the reality was disappointing. While the rooms and bathrooms were spacious, the overall maintenance was extremely poor. The balcony and outdoor tables were broken and covered in dust, giving an unkempt feel right from the start.||Issues Faced:|Upon check-in, my friends were initially happy with the view and bungalow, but the problems started on the very first day when we noticed that the upper balcony sofas were full of ants.

We recently traveled from Bangalore to Kannur for a weekend getaway and stayed at Arabian Beach Resort, expecting a relaxing beachside experience. Unfortunately, the place was a huge letdown. While the location and beach view were great, the resort itself was poorly maintained. Dusty, broken furniture, unclean rooms, and a severe ant problem made our stay uncomfortable. There were ants everywhere including the sofas and the beds. The caretaker was lazy, refusing to provide clean plates and cutlery, and the owner showed zero accountability. Despite paying 20,000 for three rooms for two nights, we received subpar service and unhygienic conditions. This place is simply not worth the price.

I attended a marriage party here, and the view of Payyamblam Beach is stunning. Everything was great, except for the parking situation. While they do provide parking, it's located on the other side, and I had trouble finding it. The front road is narrow and can get crowded, especially during evening rush hour. I recommend arriving early to avoid traffic. Overall, a lovely venue

Extremely dirty environment and poor service. Broken furnitures. No facility for cooking or having food. We had to use disposable plates. They don't even provide drinking water. No secure car parking.

Very good location for conducting functions like wedding, reception etc ideal for a gathering of 500 people, plenty of open space set up stage and dining area

Fantastic ambience.Good place for functiond
