Vala House

Stayed here for 4 nights, really lovely rooms (they've been renovated since most of the photographs) very comfortable bed, good shower, really lovely bathroom. They get all of the important things right. There's a small sitting area over-looking the river. It's wonderfully quiet in the evenings and at night, a very short walk to the beach. Really knowledgeable about the area and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

It was serendipity that took us to Vala House. My friends & I took a trip to Cherai on an impulse on a Saturday. Being summer vacation time, most of the resorts were filled up. We walked a bit and chanced into Vala House. Expecting the same response, we gingerly asked for a room. To our pleasant surprise there was one. But it was available only for Saturday night. We grabbed it and lo & behold, it was so beautiful. The spacious, clean room, the tree-lined courtyard, the verandah opening out to the calm backwater, the beautiful (yes, beautiful & neat) bathroom and the courteous staff were total value-adds!! Our plan was to loll around on the beach, but looking at the room we were tempted to just chill here. The host, Abhilash, the kitchen staff were all courteous and amenable. The breakfast was the "puttu" on top of the gravy....pun intended. We opted for a traditional breakfast and it was melt-in-the -mouth Puttu, Egg curry and fruits on the side. Just YUMM!! I would recommend this place any time.
