더 라릿 리조트 & 스파 베칼

Staying at The Lalit for the first time was a fantastic experience. From check-in to check-out, everything was flawless. Despite navigating a personal issue upon arrival, the cheerful staff, particularly Ms. Nishmita and Barar, ensured my comfort. I can’t thank them enough for their wonderful gesture. There were many aspects that made our stay enjoyable. The property spans 28 acres with 38 rooms, including a villa, offering ample space to enjoy Kerala’s natural beauty. It provides access to the backwaters of River Nombili and Bekal Beach, with the Arabian Sea just 500 meters away. The resort has private beach access and buggies that run frequently, making it easy to get around. Outdoor activities include free fishing, 15 minutes of free kayaking, chargeable bamboo rafting, table tennis, a children’s play area, and badminton. Indoor activities for kids and adults include snooker, carrom, chess, coloring and drawing, and a library. Guests can also feed the fish and turtles in the pond near the reception. The Spiceology Spa is unique, and they offered a complimentary evening yoga session. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with fresh coconut water harvested from the property. The resort has a small kitchen garden with ladyfinger, capsicum, chilies, pineapple, banana, and more. Our room, number 112, was the highest category room with a lagoon view, conveniently located near all amenities. It featured a Jacuzzi, though it took nearly an hour to fill with water at normal temperature. The swimming pool was also good, with depths of 4 feet and 3.3 feet. They serve Hi-Tea in the evening between 5-6:30 pm, and the buffet spread was exceptionally good. Although there is only one restaurant, it is sufficient for the 38 rooms. I loved their traditional, authentic Kerala food, including puttu, kadale, fish and chicken curry, sambhar, dosas, and plenty of vegetarian options. The highlight was the appam, which reminded me of Sri Lanka. The resort offers a variety of wine-based cocktails, and I fell in love with the “Golden Elixir,” a spicy white wine cocktail that rivals any 5-star bar menu. We also celebrated Republic Day during our stay, joining in for the flag hoisting, which was a memorable experience. Both my daughters, aged 10 and 3, were delighted with the new experiences, such as fishing, fish and turtle feeding, and enjoying the restaurant food. One area for improvement is their Aum shop, which I found to be quite disappointing. I was hoping to buy souvenirs or mementos from the trip, but the shop was almost empty and felt like a wasted opportunity. As someone who collects souvenirs from every place I visit to keep memories alive, this was a letdown. Unfortunately, it was the only place on the property where I could purchase such items, and it fell short of expectations. The highlights of our stay were the cheerful and ever-helpful staff. While every member contributed to making our stay memorable and comfortable, I want to mention a few with who

Wonderful and peaceful stay it was. Food quality and staffs are very nice. Special shoutout to restaurant staffs- Rachita, Balram who took care of us very nicely. Wishing to revist this place again………………………………………………………………………………………..
