Kanan Beach Resort

We booked at Kanan beach resort to have a few days of complete relaxation in the middle of our seven week trip to Indian - and to meet up with our adult children. We chose north Kerela for mutual convenience and for the beautiful landscape we had read much about. What a find this beautiful accommodation was. ||We enjoyed fantastic service from Prakash and his team, both with contact prior to arriving and looking after us whilst we were there. The small number of cottages ensures that you feel part of the Kanan 'family' without that being intrusive. It also ensures that you enjoy the space and tranquility of the grounds and accommodation with compete privacy - and the beauty of those very carefully maintained grounds directly leading to the private beach (so clean) is a very special gift that this location provides. Laze on one of the sun loungers, under a palm umbrella , under a tall palm tree, near a carefully protected turtle nest, and watch the most wonderful sunsets directly in front of you. Bliss. Especially blissful when you realise that neighbouring resorts do not have such well-appointed beach side provision.||The pool is an excellent size for lap swimming, if you fancy a change from the waves and warmth of being in the ocean or a simple cool down after a long walk along the beautiful coastline. The food is delicious and very good value. The French owner, Martin, is 'charmant' and so very clearly proud of what he has built and achieved with his team. And rightly so. This is a place to unwind and enjoy nature. If you want TV and hi-tech and throbbing nightlife, this is not the place for you. If you want to spend a holiday in touch with the beautiful Malabar coast of Northern Kerela and the Indian Ocean, it most certainly is.

A perfect end to our Kerala travels. |This was our final stay and it was just perfect. Right on the most amazing white sandy beach, a beautiful pool and spacious villas. There are only 10 bungalows which make the resort intimate and special. ||We had a pool/sea view villa which was spacious with a large veranda to sit out on. It had a large sitting room with full size fridge, a large spacious bedroom with walk in closet and large wet room. Everything was spotlessly clean. ||We had amazing and delicious food every meal, with a good selection to choose from. The restaurant looks out over the beach. ||This is a must stay if you want a relaxing, peaceful and 5 star stay. ||All the staff were friendly, so helpful and helped to make our stay just perfect.

Year after year I have come for the last 13 years and it is always an amazing place. Great easy facilities right on the beach, great food to be ordered in the morning and made fresh from local products, great nice staff managed by the nicest Prakash. Extremely calm and nice beach, with nice fishing villages at 30 min of bike away.

Kanan beach resort is located alongside a serene beach in a remote village neat Neeleshwaram. The property has got 10 huts which are painstakingly designed to achieve the look of old kerala house structure and look, but with all modern amenities. The room is equipped with mini fridge, AC, WiFi, kettle, locker, tea/coffee bags, toiletries, dental kits etc. There is NO TV fitted in the room, which I found as a good though which would bring back the 'talking' habit among family. Restaurant serves all Indian and Chinese cuisine. The MUST TRY item is Caramel Pudding which comes in the dessert option. Its better to order early since the preparation time is much longer. There is wheel chair access to almost all places, except to the rooms. The property is having a nice big pool also. The entire property is owned by a Frech family, who come here to stay once or twice every year for one month together during which this property is NOT rented to outsiders.

Yet another wonderful stay! This was our second visit to this beautiful resort and its wonderful and kind staff. We love the serenity this resort has to offer. Clean and spacious rooms with a sea view and a very hospitable staff what more can one want. This has become our go to place for family holidays. Each time we visit ,we wish we could stay longer. Would strongly recommend this resort to everyone who is looking for a place to relax and rejuvenate with family. I would like to particularly mention the over and above service attitude of the staff here. There were many instances of thoughtful gestures by the resort staff that made our stay here even more enjoyable. We had the chance to meet the resort owner during our stay and it's obvious he takes much pride in his resort and staff and why would he not , he has a happy and efficient management and service team. So thank you again Team Kanan for the memorable stay.

Kanan beach resort is located adjacent to the sea beach and waves of Arabian sea are visible from each cottage through the coconut garden. It's beautifully maintained by very cordial and friendly staffs. Cottage is equipped with modern amenities including free Wi-Fi. Furnitures are from natural woods or bamboo and canes , very much eco friendly. food is excellent though little costly but worth it. Service by each employee is having very humble and friendly touch with big smile. They are simply great to make the guest feel homely. I love to come back again and again in this resort. I'll recommend my friends and relatives to experience this beautiful place.

I have been a regular at the resort, mostly with friends and it's my duty and privilege to pen down my feedback on the property. Rarely have I seen and experienced such a wholesome service that extends from excellent hospitality to very good value. The cottages are spacious, the food is of the best quality and the upkeep and maintenance of the property is truly of international standards. The USP of this property is it's enviable view of the beach from almost every single cottage. The evenings therefore give us sublime and pristine experience just as the mornings give us a complete refreshing one. You could spend the whole day in the resort and still not feeling bored one bit. And to top it all, their Spa is world class and a must try. Having travelled extensively, I am also of the firm belief that what makes good customer delight possible are two factors, one : staying true to purpose and not compromising on service standards and two : the people behind this. I therefore have to call out the services of Mr. Prakash, the property manager, who has been the person behind making this happen. He has always been the person for me to go back time and again, almost like that of a relationship manager being the reason for clients to stay loyal. And he is wonderfully assisted by Sanal, Sakesh and Manu who have been the ones responsible in delighting us with wonderful delicacies that truly blend taste, variety and culture. It's both interesting and pleasantly surprising that their veg dishes are as authentic as their non veg dishes and therefore is an ideal place for people looking to go fully veg or wanting to try authentic Kerala coastal food. But beyond this, what makes Prakash and his team unique is their calm, cool and hospitable demeanour. They have always carried a smile on their face with a 'Never say No' attitude. Overall, a wonderful experience whenever I have been there and has always been my first choice for my own stay, my recommendation to friends and families and to all who believe in value proposition and customer service.

Outstandingly good during our second stay and exceeded our high expectations! The lush Kanan Beach Resort has friendly helpful staff, wonderful cottages, a glistening pool and a varied menu of excellent freshly prepared dishes. The high quality of the ingredients and Chef's inspired pairing of sauces and dips was really top notch. We'll be back again from the UK!
