Bellissima è tranquilla struttura sul fiume con bellissima piscina. Camera con letto super confortevole. Noi avevamo la camera in una bellissima posizione ma si sentiva troppa confusione dalla cucina sia la mattina che la sera. Distante un po’ da tutto ma abbastanza comoda per l’aeroporto. Ottimo cibo. L’ultimo dell’anno ci hanno apparecchiato a posta lungo il fiume in modo romantico e abbiamo assistito a due spettacoli molto caratteristici.

Loved everything about our stay here, the staff were wonderful, Justin went above and beyond ensuring that our every need was met. We were in room 6, which was fabulously appointed, great quality bed linen and bath towels and super comfy bed.
Food in the restaurant was excellent at each meal, plenty of choice and very reasonable prices - you do have to pre-order, but it's no problem at all, we would simply WhatsApp our order to Justin mid-afternoon requesting dinner at 8 pm.
The infinity pool was delightful and a welcome release from the heat of the day. Gardens are tended daily by the 2 gardeners who work onsite, this keeps them in lovely condition.
Enjoyed a massage whilst there, different from what I'd get in the UK, but was very good and left me feeling revitalized!
Our 4 night stay at Cranganor was the perfect end to our backpacking trip around India.
Loved everything about our stay.

BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT ESPECIALLY WHEN MADE BY CHEF BABY CHECHI. I ENJOYED THE MASSAGE AT THE PARLOUR. SLEEPING ON THE HAMMOCK WAS MY DREAM COME TRUE. THE VIEW FROM THE POOL WAS SUPERB ESPECIALLY AT DUSK. THE STAFF WERE HELPFUL AND I ENJOYED MY STAY.
REFRIGERATOR WAS NOT COOLING .BUT I DID NOT MIND SINCE ICE WAS SERVED FROM THE KITCHEN

Breakfast was satisfactory. The food (certain dishes) were extremely salty in spite of pointing out to the staff.

This accommodation, and its location, are exceptional. Located on the banks of the Periyar river, the views are incredible, and there is a magnificent infinity pool. Very serene and peaceful. There is Wi-Fi, A/C, and all the amenities one needs. We used Uber during our time here, which was accurately priced and very reliable (staff at Cranganor can also organise taxis). There is also a spa on the property. Breakfast was complimentary, and lunch and dinner can be pre-ordered (can recommend the seafood curries!).

Cranganor exceeded all expectations. It looks great but in reality is fantastic. The staff were attentive and helpful, always responding to requests, the food really amazing, a huge selection, generous portions, comfortable rooms, quiet local area. We enjoyed an evening boat trip along the river and that was about all we wanted to do except relax by the pool, in a hammock or in the games area. The spa offered a range of treatments which we also enjoyed and would highly recommend. A wonderful stay.

Beautiful relaxing property…..fantastic location beside the river….excellent taxi service from Albi…as a solo lady travelling on her own felt very safe & truly had a super few days. Food, service etc 10/10. Ayurvedic treatments excellent….

Everything superb
The only thing I could possibly find bad is the bewildering amount of light switches in the room.

The property is so beautiful and peaceful. The room was very neat with all basic amenities. The bed and pillows were so cosy and comfortable. it was just an extra ordinary experience just to sit and watch the pool and the river. All the staff were so friendly and real. Justin, Jeevan, cleaning staff , kitchen staff were all behaved like ur family. Special thanks to Shree for taking beautiful pics for me. if u need a fully relaxed staycation this will be the best. Thank you so much the whole team - Ambili Sunil

Wow! Where can I start with the positives of this place? Everything right from the scented towels, to the excellent customer service, great custom-made meals, breathtaking river views, serene & cooling sea breeze, the song birds & squirrels, the lush lawns & fruit filled trees, the quiet fishing spot, the calm rocking in the breezy hammocks, the balcony views of the moon-lit river by night, the infinity pool and lastly the still feeling of doing nothing! This place is perfect for people who are looking for a retreat from a fast paced life. I would go back any day! Special thanks to the very homely staff, Justin, Jeevan, Sreeshant, the garden helpers and kitchen staff Baby & Anish. My parents & I had a great stay. 100% recommend.
For those that are afraid of the house lizards, be aware your going to see 1-2 at night due to the nature of the property.

We visited Cranganor with our extended family, a big group of eight people, and it felt like home.
As soon as we arrived at the location we were greeted by a fresh welcoming wind, blowing over from the river, that swept up our hair and clothes and filled us with joy.
The resort is airy, green and spacious. There's a lovely pool to splash about in and hammocks to laze around. Every day we picked items from the menu and enjoyed freshly prepared food.
We found the staff to be attentive and they catered to our needs without fuss or delay.
The room we occupied was one of the pool side rooms and we had a shower with a semi open roof, which we found really special.
We saw a variety of wildlife in the space from chameleons and dragonflies to fireflies. Our daughter even befriended a cow in the neighbouring house.
We would love to return and stay in this peaceful beautiful space.
There weren't any elaborate play options for kids. Although ours managed to entertain themselves with the pool, hammocks and swings.
