i recently had the pleasure of staying at coastal paradise, a stunning retreat nestled in the backwater island of edayilekkadu. the location is absolutely enchanting, offering a serene escape surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil waters. one of the highlights of my stay was the nearby beach, which is not only picturesque but also peaceful, perfect for long walks and soaking in the beauty of nature. the accommodations were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural surroundings. the staff was incredibly hospitable, ensuring every aspect of my stay was smooth and enjoyable. whether it was arranging activities or simply providing local insights, their warmth and professionalism stood out. the food deserves a special mention—fresh, flavorful, and a delightful mix of local and international cuisines. dining with a view of the backwaters was an experience in itself. coastal paradise is truly a gem for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. i highly recommend it and can’t wait to return!
