Amritara The Poovath Beach Front Heritage, Fort Kochi, Kerala

I had an incredibly peaceful stay at this property in Fort Kochi. The pool area is the true highlight -- serene, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the town. The ambiance is calm and inviting, with lush greenery that adds to the relaxed vibe. The breakfast was a lovely way to start the day -- simple, fresh, and satisfying. I especially appreciated the local touches like fresh fruits, and eggs. The setting near the pool made it even more enjoyable, with a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Coffee/tea was served hot, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. It's not a huge spread, but the quality and calm vibe made it perfect. The room itself was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It felt like a little oasis tucked away from the bustle of the city. Housekeeping are there till 4 pm to clean the rooms Just FYI and the hotel have cycles to rent It beside the beach, walking distance Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, rejuvenating getaway in Fort Kochi.

Situated in the heart of Fort Kochi, the resort is just a short walk to the beach and close to popular attractions like the Chinese fishing nets, St. Francis Church, and the colorful street art of Princess Street.

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.

Absolutely lovely place, really pretty garden, authentic Dutch house, with mango trees towering above, and views of the seafront from the communal balcony. People from other hotels sometimes pay to use the pool and communal spaces, and it's with good reason as it's a pretty and peaceful place to be with a stunning sunset. The staff are so lovely, and the restaurant food is good. We came with our baby, and the staff couldn't do enough to make us feel comfortable (and even entertain the baby for us while we ate!). The only thing I'd say is there were a few things in our bathroom that needed fixing, but they were minor, and were not a problem. The shampoo also seemed like dish soap, so I used my own. If I came back to Kochi I would stay here again.

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!

Stayed here for one night only on our way to Munnar. Beautifully maintained heritage property. Car needs to be parked on the street since the hotel does not have any parking facility but it was not a problem for us. We had 2 Deluxe Double room, one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor. First floor room was bigger but faced the next door cemetery. There is no lift but the staff help with luggage. Entire hotel including our rooms was clean and well maintained. Location is really good, a few minutes walk from main Fort Kochi area. Room size was good and bathroom was spacious. Air Conditioner worked well. Room had enough space for luggage and was equipped with tea/coffee facility, electronic safe and bedroom slippers. There was no chair but one was provided once we asked. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The hotel has a small pool which we couldn't utilize due to time constraints. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Food was decent. Those who are so inclined, please note that the hotel does not serve alcohol. Service was attentive but some of the staff are not very well trained and had difficulty while taking food orders but overall attitude were positive. The dinning area is not air conditioned and mosquitoes can be a nuisance. If we go back to Kochi we will definitely consider this hotel for a second stay.

Reviewing the restaurant only. Lovely environment and very friendly staff. Extensive menu which seems to be around the clock, with a board of particular specials. Generous portions and fairly priced given that you are dining in a hotel. Note this hotel is not licensed, so no alcohol is available. Very pleasant meal but not spectacular and a bit bereft of atmosphere as only 2 tables dining all night.

Excellent Stay. Jiya was so hospitable for check-in and room and food was amazing. Located just in front of Fort Kochi Beach, in a posh and chilled out vibe locality. Thank you so much for the hospitality. We will spend a longer stay next time. Thank you
