Rasa Gurukul

Nice ambience and friendly staff. Food is great but will cost around 9 times you would pay in a restaurant. Overall nice place near to chalakudy river. Please note if you are going for a dine in experience you will need to book in advance.

The place is huge 20 acre area with lush greenery all around but you can only enjoy if u are in groups else on odd days if u are going there as a couple or a family of 4 it would feel unsafe / scary. snakes roam around freely(non poisonous as said by staff but snakes are snakes) Authentic kerala food or sadya is only available when u are in groups else the north indian chinese food menu is at your rescue(which you can find in any local resturant ). Don't follow the website because it is outdated..food amenities only few are there.. it is like living in a lonely village I had booked the place for my senior citizen inlaws for two nights ..special delux room for 10k(5k per night including breakfast only)... I got it at a discounted price(11k was it's original cost for two nights)..it is a normal ac room but with a patio overlooking the river They liked the heritage village kind stay but were scared of no people around plus seeing snakes around them...obvious reaction especially when u are old so they immediately moved to another place nearby that they found good and safe Now they didn't stay for even one night ...but still I had to pay 5k plus 2.5k the hotel demanded for next day So my complete experience here was bad ..with respect to the services being provided,only breakfast at such a high cost and the way they demanded I pay 3/4th of the bill amount even though my in laws didn't stay for the night...I found it rude..not customer friendly ...only working to earn money but not worrying about their customer's feedback.

This is a nice serene place by the lake 15 mins from Chalakudy highway. Good place to relax with family, however there are no activities to do and the access to the lake is restricted based on the safety aspects. A night can be spent but anything more can get a tad boring. The vegetarian meals were really good however the overall food was nothing exceptional. The rooms are quite basic and cost around Rs 5500 for two adults. There are some rabbits which the kids played with and had fun. The bullock cart ride was also a good experience. For any help or service you have to walk ll the way to the main office which is a bummer.

We made a direct call to the number provided and they responded promptly. There were rooms available and we paid a small amount in advance to reserve a room. Upon arrival, they compensated us for our early arrival with no issues. Their check-in is usually at 11AM, but they took us in by 9AM without any issues and quickly got us a room ready. The food is AMAZING. 10/10 absolutely loved the vegetarian variety they serve. Mind you, we didn't have options to choose from as they prepare food with available ingredients from their farm and it's really healthy. I will definitely come back just for the food. They do not have food room service, you will have to go near the reception area for having your food. The property is very well maintained with lush greenery and a river view. It's serene and peaceful to just enjoy a mesmerizing view. If you are planning to visit, and are nearby, bring your own vehicle to reduce the cost of travel. However, if you do require a vehicle for travel and exploration, the staff are more than happy to accommodate you. Suggestion - With so much space available, you can provide bicycles for the visitors to just ride around the area. It would be so much fun.

Stunning place, Kerala cuisine to die for - be sure and go!!

Spent a day there with family and friends. Excellent ambience , delicious vegitarian food and friendly and obliging staff. A well -furnished lounge and some indoor recreation facilities will improve the resort's appeal.

The location is good but they need to improve their hospitality... A lot

I've visited Rasa several times, and each time has been a magical and sentimental experience that transported me back to my childhood summers spent at my mother's house. The management and staff genuinely want to make the visit a memorable one. Clearly they are trained so well in this Gurukul. With its lush vegetation, classic Kerala architecture, and breathtaking river vistas, the resort was simply gorgeous. I particularly liked how the resort emphasized Kerala culture and traditions by using genuine artwork and furnishings all around the place.Everything gives you a taste of a magnificent bygone age, from the paintings on the walls to the bathroom decor. Another highlight was the food. Their traditional dishes are outstanding and deserves a five-star rating for both the food and the dining experience. Overall, I can't express enough how wonderful this resort is. This resort truly has it all, whether it is to unwind and rest in a tranquil setting or immerse yourself in Kerala's rich culture and traditions. It was a truly unforgettable experience! Thank you!
