This was the summer palace of the erstwhile rulers of Travancore now converted to a heritage resort. Staying in Paradisa Plantation Retreat will give one a feel of residing in a traditional Kerala House. There are several choices in store for you. You can opt for the deluxe rooms, the superior rooms or the standard rooms but no matter which one you choose, you are sure to feel absolutely at ease in all of them. The rooms are a combination of the charms of the old world with the amenities of the modern world. Antique furnishings adorn the interiors of the rooms. All 13 cottages - authentic Keralan wood buildings - are strategically placed to a fabulous view and create an illusion of solitude .Breakfast at Paradisa Plantation Retreat is a royal affair - the table is literally groaning with abundance of fruit - but dinner is an elaborate ritual since the chef insists on telling you about each and every ingredient. It houses an outdoor pool and a restaurant.
