Amritara The Poovath Beachfront Heritage, Fort Kochi

This is a hidden gem in the heart of Fort Kochi , right on the beachfront and at a great location. The hotel is steeped in history (built around a 17th Century Dutch home) and has an attentive staff. If you are looking for personalised care and attention especially when travelling with seniors this is a great option. The hotel has an in-house restaurant with great breakfast , lunch and dinner options - delicately made and good variety. The kitchen made no-spice meals for my grandma every day - thank you! If there is a negative it will be the lack of TVs in the room and a small pool.

lovely old heritage Building in a great location with a nice view from the upper terrace to the beach. The food is good and you can relax in a nice garden by a small refreshing pool. The staff is nice and attentive- especially Aslam. I broke my hand the 2nd day and Aslam accompanied me after he finished his shift to the hospital and stayed long after midnight, he arranged the check up appointments so that I didn’t need to wait for to long, picked me up in his lunch break and made things as comfortable as possible. He went far beyond his duties, which I really much appreciated.

Ir 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.

We had a lovely 2 days at the Amritara. The staff were great and the food was exceptional. Its in a perfect position by the sea, within easy walking distance of things to see. Reception booked us to see the Kathakali dancing which we loved. They also booked our driver Manuel, who couldn't have been better. He drove us on and off for over a week and was a pleasure to spend time with. His driving was safe and he helped us get anything we needed. I would highly recommend him. 😀

The staff was always smiling and very helpful. Akshaya was great with breakfast, and taking care of our basic needs. Gokul arranged a great Aleppey trip for us. Jia and Nancy guided us and coordinated local site-seeing for us. Rooms are comfy. Bathrooms are great. Overall property is a heritage property. Our room had view of the Dutch cemetry -- which is precious.
