Brunton Boatyard - CGH Earth

Truly, truly beautiful!

This hotel is a Gem. Set within the bustling port adjacent to the Chinese Fishing community where you can see the nets in action *****side local fisher*** contrasted with international shipping travelling past. We were treated to a complimentary boat tour of the port and watched the sun set in front of the Chinese fishing nets. The pool is clean peaceful and enchanting. We relaxed in the restaurant serving seafood freshly caught then cooked in the Clayton wrapped in banana leaves Thank you to chef Pranav and the service team including Jyotika waitress Sivanya Raj

This was the first stop on this year’s 3 week holiday in India. The welcoming could not have been better .. we arrived long before our room should have been ready but it was all made up. I’d highly recommend a room with the sea view .. you will be aware of the ferry boat which runs between 6am and 9pm, but you soon become oblivious to it. The pool is lovely and the 3 restaurants serve the most amazing food … the curries and local dishes are awesome. 2 highlights … high tea at 5pm is not to be missed (no extra charge) then a sunset cruise around the river at 5:30pm (no extra charge). And you don’t have to walk far from the hotel to find some great shopping streets and some local restaurants either. Big thanks to all the team in the hotel for making the start to our holiday so special!

Really lovely meal at the restaurant. We were a large party of 12 but the staff were excellent, ensuring everyone was happy and served well.

This place is magic! The welcome is particulary warm and the service irreproachable Breakfast is delicious. The boat trip at sunset is superb. Thank you again Chhaya for her welcome and her kindness..

The food was outstanding at the armoury. Excellent staff and the best chefs too . We stepped in for a late lunch and the ***go fish curry was so good. Cocktails were well made and the grand finale dessert was melt in the mouth. We will be back on our next trip

Stepped in for a quick meal and was not disappointed. The allappy ***go fish curry with kal dosa and keral red rice was amazing. The cocktails were a perfect blend of alcohol and mixers and the beer was cold! We finished with a fine espresso and crème brûlée was so amazing too

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is well placed in Kochi. The restaurant food was very good., both lunch and the two dinner restaurants. Nice pool. OK rooms. Clean. The hotel is crying out for a decent bar. Cocktail making a but basic. Sunset cruise was packed with no drinks - a bit disappointing. We did experience mixed service. We arrived early and fully understood our rooms would not be ready but the general ***ager we met literally did not know what to do with us and kept giving us unrealistic expected times for when our rooms would be ready. We kept on waiting. Service in the restaurants was good. Poor at the pool area. A good, interesting, well located, attractive but not quite brilliant.

Looking for somewhere to enjoy a gin and tonic overlooking the ocean. So glad we found this place. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the ambiance perfect and prices reasonable so we stayed for Fish in Banana Leaf dinner. Delicious 🤩
