Kanan Beach Resort - Resort hotel in Nileshwar - Kasaragod, India

We have stayed at Kanan beach resort twice - a beach resort is an experience I look forward to when visiting my parents from the U.S once a year - and I really wanted to give them 5 stars. However the hospitality can benefit from serious improvements. We were hassled from the night before departure (while trying to have a relaxed dinner) to the morning of departure with questions about what time we were going to check out. The front desk even called my father's cellphone! (when we were trying to enjoy the serenity of nature), asking us when we were going to check out. These were rude and unprofessional interruptions to an otherwise peaceful experience. When presented with this feedback, the lady at the front desk tried to explain this by saying that she wanted to make sure the bill was going to be settled appropriately. What kind of reputable establishment doesn't trust their guests to settle their bill during the regular checkout process and instead hassles them during their stay - did they think we were going to swim into the ocean to avoid the bill or climb the gate out? Pretty bizarre and annoying. While checking out, the lady at the front desk tried my credit card and immediately said that it doesn't have enough money on it or doesn't work. A strange allegation, for it took me less than 5 seconds of looking at their credit card machine to notice that all that needed to be done was the pressing of a Continue button and a signature to get through the transaction. Her lack of effort and knowledge on how to operate the machine for American credit cards was perhaps excusable but the way she handled it was not, instead of asking her management for assistance or apologizing claiming it was the customers fault. It was again unprofessional for a resort of such caliber. No other complaints. A beautiful resort and apart from these kinds of minor insults/annoyances you will have a lovely experience. We are on the fence about returning back (will update this review if we visit again) but we wish Kanan the very best, they have great potential and a good thing going.

Stayed there for 3 nights, it is pleasent and beautiful place to stay for family. Kids are gonna love the pool. Staff is courteous. Sea is rough at few places but there are few other stretches where one can get in and enjoy

An amazing and calming place. A great way to escape everyday stress. The service is amazing the location even more so. The rooms are beautiful. Me and my family left on 26th October to 30th October. And I left with a heavy heart. We were so lucky we even saw dolphins! I'd like to thank sakesh (in charge of service) and his team and staff at front office for being so warm to us. And Id also like to add the food is just amazing. Overall just an awesome place!

This is such a lovely resort, I won't be able to describe in words. The cottages are great, clean. Have sitting area with a nice kitchenette. Locker facility is available. The bedroom is cozy. Bathroom is big and nice with rain shower. The restaurant have a nice sea view. Food is decent and portion size is generous. Coming to the most important thing the people. They are kind and always ready to help. You will feel relaxed and safe. And you will fall in love with this resort.

Wonderful place for a relaxed vacation! We visited as a family with our 5 month old baby and the whole team at Kanan Beach Resort were so nice and helpful and accompanied all our requests we had because of our baby. The resort is well maintained and in a beautiful surrounding, lush green garden, palm trees, pool with a view on the lovely beach. There are several sun beds to relax. The rooms are very spacious, with an open living room concept, and a veranda to sit outside and enjoy the view. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the restaurant every day which was excellent, definitely try the pancakes for breakfast! Finally I also want to highlight the lovely staff, who were so nice with our baby and generally welcoming. We will definitely come back.

Got a cottage sea facing. With coconut trees around, good privacy and excellent sea breeze. As we enter we get a welcome with tender coconut. A walk through to our cottage was pleasure. So many different trees and birds. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 are facing the sea. Lunch was sumptuous, quantity was great. Excellent service and request for spice and deep frying was managed well. There is a swimming pool, it's clean and 1.2 to 1.5 meters depth. Patrons need to care for their children as there are no pool attendants. They have a spa and massage also. With just 10 cottages it's a quiet place and excellent for relaxation.

Tout dans ce resort est parfait, soigne, de grande qualite ; le logement, le cadre (calme, joli, propre, parfaitement entretenu, avec gout), la cuisine, le service (a l'ecoute, la gentillesse, la discretion). Je le recommande a tous !
