Although I only stayed one night the service was incredible. Swati took such good care of me, it was very heart warming. The place was undergoing some construction and I was the only one there (which led to my decision to move) but once they're back on track and full of guests I think staying there will be a blast. Rooms are beautiful, cozy beds and close to beautiful odayam beach.
