I cannot say enough about my experience at the Lalit in Bekal. From the start, the welcome I received from Ms Anita, and the way I was treated by everyone throughout my stay exceeded my expectations and made my stay all so much better. The daily attention I received, as a solo traveler, from Priyaakhi Maitre d', and the Chef at the restaurant (the local dishes were excellent by the way), as well as Mr.Joy and everyone else, has left an indelible impression on my heart. This stay was the rest and recuperation I needed and it delivered. The spa is top-notch, and Dr Sheresh has been very helpful in advising the ayurvedic treatments I could avail myself of. The standard of the treatments delivered was also excellent. It's a place I will visit again and warmly recommend my friends and family to visit as well.

The plug points for charging electronic devices must be updated. However, I will add that my technical glitch was quickly resolved thanks to the always helpful staff.

Lovely locality. Perfect getaway from city madness. Very calm and serene. Woke up to calm bird sounds everyday. Located with back waters on one side and beach on the another. One can walk around the property for calm atmosphere and great views Rooms have good ambience and well maintained. View from the room is scenic. Walking distance to a beach from within the hotel itself (the beach is not a private one, but it is offbeat, so we saw very little crowds even on weekends) Staff were courteous and polite Food at restaurant is quite good.

The room comes with a Jacuzzi - the pressure isn't great. Also, no hot water connection to the Jacuzzi.

We arrived at the hotel around 10:30 PM after a six-hour drive from Calicut to Kasargod. The restaurant was about to close, but we requested a bowl of plain rice and a cup of yogurt for our son, who had an upset stomach and hadn’t eaten much during the trip. We were welcomed with tender coconut as a drink, and the staff was incredibly friendly, making check-in smooth. They quickly sent the rice and yogurt to our room, and even made sure the rice was hot. The property is fantastic, with spacious rooms, large balconies, and excellent cleanliness. You’d need at least two days to fully explore the property, but unfortunately, we only planned for one. We’ll definitely visit again. It's just 15 minutes from Bekal Fort. The breakfast was great, offering a variety of options. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

A perfect stay at a resort with access to expansive free movement areas including riverside and the beach connected to Arabian sea. Saw some stunning sunset, variety of flora and fauna a treat to our eyes and enriching our experience. The food tasted very good too. There are even more facilities that we did not even try on this visit and probably would try another time.

A small feedback would be about the vessels used in breakfast have a very heavy handle, not necessarily friendly to all customers that like to help themselves.

Spacious rooms, nice views, very hospitable staff. Diwali celebrations organized by the staff was amazing. We had a memorable trip. We were in room no 201 and it had amazing views of the palm fringed property and the river. FnB staff Priyakhi and Santosh were outstanding. Live juice counter during breakfast was very nice.

Jaccuzi did not have hot water

Their property is beautiful! The Singer sang lovely songs while we had our buffet lunch.

Their miserliness about early check in and the usage of wifi. Lack of congruity between the staff. When I checked in, the staff told me to wait for 10 minutes while the room was getting ready. Then, I don't know why I was taken to a resting/ waiting area where I was totally forgotten about for hours! The food was mostly average.

The backwater and beach access. The restaurant and its staff were good and friendly. The food was tasty and we enjoyed it. The swimming pool was clean and nice(though there were broken tiles inside) .

Wish the housekeeping was better. The jacuzzi in our room was not maintained well and very dirty. There were hairs in it which we ended up cleaning . The outdoor play area for kids was not maintained well.

* View from the room * Backwaters access with rafting and canoeing * Beach * Small bridge from hotel's property to beach * Cycling around and tasty food

Access to beach, however buggy is provided if required but it is a nice and awesome walk which we loved it. It is little interior to drive but it is worth it.

Wonderful setting with all facilities you could think of - great pool, bar, games, beach on the river with kayaking, gym, etc. excellent restaurant and the staff are very good.

Well, it is quite pricey.. but worth it if you can afford it. Just the one night for us, was a lovely break.

Fantastic property spread over 20 acres beside backwaters and clean beach with only 38 cottages. Good spread of tasty local fare and also north indian and continental. Very friendly staff right from Reception to Restaurant to Spa. Prompt personalised service.
