Indien Hermitage Resort Reviews, Kanyakumari

Me and My Husband stayed at the Indien Hermitage Resort for 4 nights. We arrived to Kanyakumari by train in the morning and took a taxi, which took us to the resort. It takes aprox.30 min to get there. There are 2 roads actually, one shorter, but bad, the other little longer, but much better. Resort is situated in between the mountains, very beautiful area, nice place to relax. Hotels staff was very attentive and helpful. They recommended us all place to be see and arrange transportation as well. If you decide to stay in the resort, there are things to do as well. Big pool with beautiful background is fantastic during hot days. You can also walk through the bush and look for wild life. You can see colorful butterflies,peacocks, squirls,monkeys etc. Do not forget to climb the water tank behind the resort, you'll get a fantastic view from there. Food at the resort was very homely, cooked as per your request. We had a very pleasant stay and will highly recommend the place to others.

The hotel is hard to find after dark, but once we got there, the experience was excellent. The resort owner Mr. Raju and the Manager Parmeshwar, who also doubles up as chef, treated us as house guests. We thoroughly enjoyed every meal, as Parmeshwar is an excellent cook - you have to like South Indian food, because that is what they usually make. The setting of the resort is beautiful, next to a hill, and the whole place is full of trees. Wild peacocks, black faced monkeys (Langoors) and other animals wander in. The swimming pool is huge and set amidst trees at the foot of a hill. The whole atmosphere was of rustic serenity, especially as we happened to be the only guests at the time. It is a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. We did go into Kanyakumari to see the sunrise at the tip of the subcontinent, but returned as soon as we could, as it was crowded and busy. They do have wi-fi, but connectivity is intermittent. Altogether an excellent experience.

The hotel is good, located out of this world, (literally). If you are lucky, you will get to see peacocks and deers. My driver was able to see a dozen peackocks having a fest at the hotel reception. When I went, there was a delay at Marungoor due to a local festival and some clash, all vehicles where stopped by people, there is no other way to reach this place though. Otherwise, almost everything else was cool. Except for that my son could not watch TV. When complained, the attended came and tried something, then he 'informed' (not to be mistaken for 'apologized') that the dish is not working because monkeys has spoiled the cables.

The problem was accesibility, otherwise it was a pleaseant stay.

The roads to the hotel are horrible! Not much staff to attend your needs. Needs lot of improvement in maintaining the rooms, service and food. If properly managed this place has the potential to be a good resort.

Nam bare darsan chote.

This is a resort not a Hotel but it doesn't have much facilities and amenties available / needed for resort. Staff level is at minimum but they are very helpful , warm and friendly. Please refrain from using this resort/hotel for your kanyakumari sightseeing trip as it is around 15-20 km away from Kanyakumari tourist spots. This is very nice resort if you want to get away from crowded place and just want to relax amongst fields in backdrop of mountains. Plan to reach resort in daytime as there are not enough directions to resort and in night it becomes scary to travel through farm roads that have not be kept up to date. Thumbs down for location. Thumbs up for serenity.

It is not at a right place. It is 22 kms and not like you said 14 kms away from Kanyakumari. And no services, no food, etc.

The rooms and the location of the hotel is awesome. The hotel is very poorly staffed due to which getting meals on time as well as booking a taxi (this is away from Nagercoil by 12 kms.) makes it challenging.
