We loved everything. The location is great, close to the beach and a short drive to the alleppey backwaters. The premises are beautiful and clean. Our room was big and had a great interior design. The room smelled wonderful! The food was very delicious and well priced. Especially the chicken dish with the long name :) Staff is very friendly. Sharun from the reception is the simply the best! He could help us with anything (e.g., organizing a shikarra and providing recommendations) and made us feel very comfortable. His friendly smile will be missed! We totally recommend a stay here.

We liked everything and would definitely return.

This is a family owned property built in 1960 by the Grandfather and turned into a beautiful resort. Very friendly and go out of their way to please you. Always cleaning with a smile. Maneesh at the restaurant was the best he goes out of his way to please you even if he notices you have not come down for breakfast or dinner will check on you. My husband fell sick and everyone went out of their way to get him a doctor and what he needed. Overall excellent and a must, must visit, we will be back.

a wonderful honeymoon:My husband and I chose to start our honeymoon in the Flamingo hotel, we only had to stay for 3 days because we wanted to try different places but as soon as we entered we felt a feeling of peace and well-being and we decided to extend it for the whole week and notwe could have made a better choice, the staff was welcoming right away, from the guys at the reception to the guys in the kitchen and living room, the girls who took care of the room and the staff at the entrance, all of whom were kind as ever, plus I was ill the first two days and they always tooktook care of me and made me available for anything, apart from the human aspect, Flamingo is a true paradise, we enjoyed a week between the fabulous food served and fresh fish every day, the fantastic massage service, the best I've had never done (besides themthe Ayurvedic treatments are the best) the peace of its river which with the canoe leads directly to the sea in just a few minutes was a true fairytale, Marari beach is a dream, a wonderful beach where the inhabitants work every day to take care of it and keep it clean , natureit is immense around, also they provide local people with whom we can go on tours around, we met Sebastian and James two fantastic people who allowed us to enter and get to know the real culture of Kerala and Sebastian in particular with whom we spent more time AndHe was like a friend right away, took us everywhere and was able to advise, furthermore the owner who we had the honor of meeting with his children is truly remarkable in kindness and elegance, we must say that it was the best stay we have ever had and we're so happy andgrateful that we can't wait to be able to return, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and recommend this place to everyone, a real journey for the soul and the heart and one's physical well-being, the structure is phenomenal and then a detail not to be forgotten, thank you thank you see you soon Flamingo, Sara and...

We had been travelling a bit so to reach the Flamingo was absolute bliss. A calm peaceful oasis. Staff were excellent, great service, friendly and went out of their way to help with any requests, big or small. There was a sharp piece of something sticking out of the mattress, which my husband caught his leg on, we reported it and it was immediately changed.....after the offer to move us to another room. The food was absolutely srummy. The massages were excellent too, in particular the facial 👌 Would we go back? YES!

Lovely hotel with an intimate feel. Not so massive that you get lost in the abyss. Saw the same guests each day. The canoe down to the beach was great fun and very unique. Great food options on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The biggest bathroom I have ever experienced!

The tap in the bathroom was quite silly and splashed water everywhere. The pressure is way too strong! Check out took a while and we were left waiting longer than necessary.

This was a great hotel. Staff very friendly, particularly the staff in the restaurant. The food was excellent we ate there a few times. It's in a good location; we cycled to Marari Beach which was easy. The kayak ride to the beach was great but the beach area there is disappointing. A lot of trash from the sea; so not very appealing - hence the cycle ride to Marari Beach which is worth doing. There was always beer and wine available. The room was very comfortable and clean.

I had to book this hotel quickly so wasn't aware we didn't have a balcony with the room. Most rooms don't. The issue then was clients had to use the limited available seating areas which were not always available. This is a popular hotel because it is very good. This often meant the small garden and pool area often felt busy and crowded. But it is a Boutique Hotel I suppose.

This was the perfect place for us (a couple) to stay in Kerala for a few nights. The room was great and the food/pool/location was even better - we loved canoeing back and forth from the stunning beach. Most of all, the owners and staff are brilliant… they are friendly, knowledgeable, and will go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. In fact, we got engaged while on the trip and they made the experience so, so special for us. Therefore, we highly recommend staying here and will be back again in the future!!!

Flamingo Boutique Hotel & Ayurvedic Spa is an oasis of tranquility. Our room was well set up, comfortable and spacious with a nice view of the pool and gardens. The property is a short canoe ride to the beach, which we thoroughly enjoyed; then a stroll along in shallow waters to a neighbouring restaurant. However, the restaurant and staff at our hotel were second to none. Tom looked after our every dietary request and often tempted us with delicious local treats. The Spa is well priced and a really indulgent must do. We enjoyed our couple of days of pampering and would return in a heartbeat.

Boutique location by the river is excellent - coupled with the opportunity to take one of the many canoes down to the beach (there is a path as well) for a stroll. Food and service excellent with the menu being well explained. Spa treatments were excellent. Very comfortable bed.

Not much that we didn't like to be fair. Went in shoulder season and it wasn't particularly busy so served our needs very well. Pool area might struggle in peak season.

We stayed in 7 different properties on our recent Kerala trip and would say that overall, Flamingo Boutique was the best. I cannot remember all the names but from Atul on the front desk, Vishnu and Tom in the restaurant that the entire team provided exceptional service. The food and the ambience are lovely as is the pool, rooms and decor. The added bonus are the free canoes that you can take down the river to the beach which we thoroughly enjoyed.

We had two stays at the Flamingo Boutique for 1 day and then 3 days shortly after because they are very popular.
