A two star resort on Beach Road in Alappuzha, on the coast in South Kerala, with a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 797 reviews. It is a practical, family friendly base rather than a luxury stay. The deciding factor is whether you want the beach and the backwaters on foot, or a quieter, more polished property elsewhere.
Rooms, grounds and services
Baywatch Beach Resort is a two star property with a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 797 reviews. It keeps things simple and functional. Rooms are air conditioned and non smoking, with family rooms available, and the garden, patio and picnic area give children somewhere to run. A playground and canoeing are on hand, along with breakfast and room service.
Practical help covers the usual travel needs: free WiFi, free parking, laundry, luggage storage, car hire, currency exchange, express check in, a shuttle service and 24 hour security. Pets are allowed, which is uncommon at this level. The overall picture is of a casual, well equipped base rather than a polished hotel.
Where the resort sits
The address is Beach Road, Alappuzha, in Alappuzha district, South Kerala. The property is on the coast, by the sea, in a town that is the headquarters of Alappuzha district. It stands 1.2 km from the centre of Alappuzha, about 15 minutes on foot, so the beach and the town are both within easy reach.
Alappuzha is a water destination, sitting at 0 to 2 m above sea level. The public ferries leave from here, and they beat an overnight houseboat on every measure that matters. Kuttanad farming country starts at the edge of town, the only place in India where rice is grown below sea level, and Kochi airport traffic is one hour by road, so the town works as a first or last stop.
Who it suits and who it does not
Baywatch Beach Resort suits families and pet owners who want a beach side base with a garden, a playground and breakfast, and who value free parking and a shuttle over polish. It does not suit travellers looking for a quiet, high end retreat: two stars and a 3.9 guest score set expectations at a comfortable, functional level, and the town centre is a short walk away rather than at the door.
When to plan a stay
August to March reads best on the water, so that window covers the clearest days for ferries and the backwaters. The southwest monsoon is spectacular and wet, with high canals and short light, which suits some travellers and not others. Book around the season you want rather than the dates you have.
