A good basic accommodation across from the beach.
Good location, literally across the road from the main beach, however there is major road construction going on along a large portion of that road. The room was spacious, though basic, good AC and bottled water provided with a water filling station outside too. Cleansiness was okay and hotel water via the geyser was fine. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Complimentary breakfast was good, local Kerala breakfast, or omelette and toast, fruit and tea/coffee. Overall a satisfactory stay.

This is an old property. Bathrooms need renovation. The room is good. Bedsheets are too tiny and don't even fit kids. Wish there is a restaurant attached to the resort. We were promised kerala breakfast, but were served idli and vada, which is our regular breakfast. The location is good... Right in front of the beach.

Of course, the property was inherited from my ancestors. But the building is only seven years old and is well maintained. Running a restaurant is not in our agenda. Everything else shall be taken care of on war footing!

A very pleasant stay. Highly recommended
After a long flight and two layovers, we arrived in Baywatch around 10am. Mathew received us at the entrance and we were instantly checked into our room, no hassle no unnecessary questions. The room was very comfy, spacious and clean. It also smelled nice. The resort is 30 seconds from the beach and transportation to town is 5 to 10 minutes for 50 rupees. We woke up with delicious and healthy breakfast waiting for us. The cook/ housekeeper is an extremely lovely lady. Mathew helped us book the river cruise and tuk tuk and that couldn’t have made our stay more easier. We loved Alleppey and will choose to stay with Baywatch again.

Good stay
The property is right on the beach. Can't call it to be a hotel or resort, but like a homestay. It has just 5 rooms. We stayed for 1 night. The place is neat and clean. Only drawback was food. While there are are a few eating joints at walking distance. We had a problem during dinner as the Coffee shop next to the property closes at 8. We were travelling with a baby so could not explore much. For breakfast we opted for Continental. They served omelette, bread and tea. There was a lady who takes care of housekeeping, she as very helpful. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

We are planning to add more rooms and then, there will be options for dining in-house. Thanks again and take care!

D best part of the resort is that you can walk in to the beach in a matter of minutes. The place gives you a homely feeling n serves freshly cooked breakfast only. You can expect good Hospitality. Rooms are well kept & one can have a relaxing experience in the porch. Overall a great value for money.

Decent hotel near the beach
Matthew is a great host. He answered all our questions and was very kind to us during our stay. His hotel is not big but it's cozy and is located near the beach and restaurants. There are about 3 restaurants within walking distance. There's also a bar as well...but it closes around 1030pm. The rooms were clean, he provided us towels, drinking water, and basic necessities. Air conditioning works fine in the room. He's got some hammocks setup as well so it's great to relax after breakfast. His breakfast is very nice, it's home cooked. You get lots of fruits, toast, and an omelet served with tea or coffee. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here!

The stay could have been better
There is no reception in the hotel. When I was shown to the room, I noticed a  problem with the door lock.  After an hour and the problem was not fixed, I requested to talk to the responsible person (who happened to be the owner) on the phone. I wished I had not done that. Maybe he was in a bad mood that day (he behaved completely normal and friendly the next morning). After telling him that I did not want to spend my holiday waiting for the problem to be fixed, he asked me "what is YOUR problem?", etc.  Some minutes later, he arrived at the hotel. I told him in front of others that he should treat his guests better instead of telling them "what is YOUR problem?". To my surprise, he said to me: "Do you understand English? 'What is your problem' simply means what is your problem.... Or shall I say 'What is your problem, SIR?' " After some further discussion, I did not want to continue. The next thing I did was to go online and cancel the booking for the following day.

This is a value budget establishment, do not expect 5* service, breakfast is great standard omelet & fruit, with tea & coffee.

Not worth the money. Construction zone! Unclean!
The room linen & blankets were stained & not clean. Wi-fi was spotty. The owner rents out 4 rooms where he lives but he is never there & the caretaker lady speaks no English, only malyalee! Impossible to communicate! The beach is busy & filthy & noisy. Major road construction right between the residence & beach. Owner shouted at my taxi driver when we could not find his place & is not friendly at all. I would not recommend this place at all. When I submitted my initial comments a few days after checking out, he did not respond to the issues at all but instead called me names, which I am very offended by. He is a nasty guy so I suggest you stay away!

Convenient and clean hotel
Mathew is an exceptional host and made sure our stay in the Bay Watch Beach Resort was as pleasant as possible. The place itself is very easy to locate, and is very well maintained. The rooms themselves are quaint, and provide adequate comfort for a short beach-stay. The beach is a small hop across the garden and a small dirt-road. It is a shame the Indian government decided to start building an elevated road-way outside of the property, but I hope this does not affect future stays too much. During our stay, there was an acceptable level of noise and no major disruption to walkways.

Hello Sir, We are excited to have such a great review from your side. Keeping our property and rooms clean and well maintained is very important to us.
