Canaan Beach Resort

Excellent small resort, beautiful grounds, clean and lonely beach, good food, friendly, quality cottages. A place to relax, rewind, rejuvenate.

The location and hospitality was very good ....nice family vacation if you need a quiet one

Rooms don't have telecom facility which was drawhback

The staff and service is amazing. Location on a quiet safe swimming beach (watch for the rip further up the beach). Would definitely go back again. Food was good mix of indian and continental and all of us were happy.

Proximity and how secluded the beach is. Size of the cottage. Fantastic staff and food to cater to all different palates.

A bit tired and could do with a bit of TLC

Kanan Beach Resort was a great surprise. We discovered a very beautiful and quiet paradise. The place was very well thought. The beach in Nileshwar is incredibly beautiful. The team of Kanan Beach was very professional. We were welcomed by the French owners of the hotel who were very friendly. The restaurant is also excellent. Maybe my favorite hotel in India so far.

I had a peaceful time, with delicious food, beautiful beach and helpful staff

I was made to feel really welcome, I was very well looked after by front of house and the restaurant, my room was clean and the Ayurvedic treatments I had were excellent

We loved everything. Location next to the sea and a fabulous beach with safe swimming and fun waves. Great cottage with sea view. People couldn't do enough for us, everything just was done perfectly. Terrific meals made freshly for us. Incredible experiences including a trip to the fire Theyyam. And the location meant that every morning and evening we could walk just over the road into the farmers plots and find amazing bird life, more every day - and lovely people to chat to, and children to wave to add day hello to. Also had a great bike ride down the coast to the river on good bikes provided by the resort. Oh and the pool is excellent and very beautiful.

We had to leave because we'd only booked six nights. We would have loved to stay longer. You will too.

Excellent location right by a very pristine Neeleshwar Beach. The room sizes are also great with a sitting room a bedroom a luggage room along with the bath room. Loved talking to the owner as well

Initially we did not know that everything is freshly made by the cooks at the restaurant and it is a good idea to order much earlier (1-2h before) before you want to eat.

Great room, loads of space with sea views. The staff went the extra mile constantly, they were friendly and made us feel welcome. We loved the open beachside restaurant and were very happy with the freshness and quality of the food.

Found the air conditioning a bit noisy and tried it without, just the sea breeze for ventilation.

Staff friendly and gave excellent customer service. The facilities were good and well maintained including the pool which was pristine. Food extremely generous, cottages characterful and homely, location right on the beach.

Hospitality exceeds comparing the competitor resort which is adjacent.( as I enquired both and been to both)Booked sea view cottage which was very spacious.Well maintained grass and swimming pool area with hammocks.Sunset view was awesome.In house dining and food was really good.Will definitely book again

This place is fabulous in all aspects. The property is peacefully situated among coconut trees and looks out to the sea via a clean empty beach. The lodges are spacious with all amenities required for a comfortable stay. The staff are super friendly and the food in the restaurant is freshly made and delicious. Well worth making a detour if in the area

Clean pool, small, remote, and feels like a tropical paradise. We'll placed. Cheap restaurant food. Not included in the price but affordable compare to the 2 neighbouring hotels nileshwar hermitage and malabar, of which malabar has outdated facilities and a mucky pool and sub par service and food. Kanan had great food I was never left hungry and it didn't break the bank.

Too many bugs and a little eery at night time. Part and parcel of a quiet gem of a place. Would recommend and bugs are everyone in all places so bring the spray. Although nileshwar provides this and kanan provides cream. Malabar as the sub par 1/3 supplies nothing but a plug in that comes as standard in all and barely helps.

Extremely proactive and helpful staff.

The dressing room looked shabby. The safe deposit locker was archaic.

Unfortunately, we reached the hotel well past sunset. But the incredible view that greeted us the next morning was unbelievable. The location is perfect, a few hundred meters from the beach, and sleeping while hearing the rhythmic lullaby of the waves on a super moon night was magical. The property is easily accessible but the surroundings are very calm and idyllic. There are around 10 villas in the property but we were the only ones the staying the night we were there. But we were pleasantly surprised with the efficient service provided by the dedicated kitchen and service staff. The manager who checked us in was also professional. We had booked a two-bedroom villa and the rooms were well maintained and the bathrooms were functional.

The property could do with a bit more love and care especially with the room furniture and bathroom fittings.

The location is amazing you literally cannot get a better place to stay if you love the beach. It's amazing for a relaxing vacation and the staff is very helpful.

Only issue would be communication with the staff if you don't understand Malayalam since they cannot understand English too well. But they manage quite okay.

Beautiful location with a panoramic view of the Arabian sea from the resort.Well maintained villas with great ambiance.Very clean, hygiene and spacious rooms.Staff are very polite and friendly.Tasty food is served at the in-house restaurant with amazing ambiance.Pool is very clean and maintained.Not many people on the beach feels like a private beach which is very clean, calm and serene.Overall value for money and a great location to spend time with your family and is definitely de-stressing.Also,worth mentioning my driver was provided with food and a decent room to stay! Excellent

Tender coconut was over priced.Was not expecting in a place which is full of coconut trees!At least a welcome drink we expected a tender coconut.Authentic Kerala breakfast if served would be great..can improve on the spread..

Loved the location of this resort. Spacious room with sitting area. Well spent weekend.Food was good. Pool was well maintained and we enjoyed. Will definitely recommend to Visit this resort.

They have limited option for breakfast

Beautiful gardens. Pool, table tennis. Right on the beach. Lovely staff too. Nothing too much trouble.

Food,staff,rooms,beach,pool all were fantastic
