Amritara Poovath Beachfront Heritage

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.

You know about that Christopher Reeves/Jane Seymour movie Somewhere in Time where he toggled between two eras? Welcome to Amritara the Poovath Beachfront Heritage. The building is like a fantastic Jane-Seymour-cake someone brought in today’s world. It’s a beautiful mix of yesterera and today, but it’s difficult to decide which was better… the architecture, the staff’s hospitality or the food. I gave up on deciding and gave all three 11/5 each. And yes, thank you chef for remembering that I wanted local dessert, it was a beautiful delicious surprise that I’ll carry in my heart for years.

Our recent stay at the Amritara was very special. The people of Kerela are wonderful and so are the staff at this amazing heritage home. The food at the restaurant within the Amritara is fantastic. The breakfast, lunch and dinner. The relaxing pool area and the great location makes this place in the heart and soul of Fort Kochi. They helped with organizing activities and rides and were so accommodating. A special mention to the staff Ritesh, Ajay, Jiya, Ollvin, Yadav, Afridi & Gokul.

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.

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

The place has a lot of character, is very well located and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean and worked very well for us. The stand out was the amazing breakfast each morning, which was included in our rate. The undercover outdoor area has beautiful gardens and very relaxing. You have local and continental choices for breakfast, and our waiter Aslam was absolutely fantastic.
