Our family had a wonderful experience at Vivanta, Kochi. We had five rooms, and each of them was meticulously clean and well-appointed. My suite had a beautiful view of water. The lobby was inviting. The breakfast buffet was sumptuous. The staff were wonderful. We had a special birthday dinner, which was made super special by the restaurant staff. The Marine Drive location was central for visiting the area. The limited parking was a downside. In addition, the hotel rooms need a refresh in a year or two.

Excellent property at a great location. The hotel is located right behind the beautiful Marine Drive, which is excellent for walking. We discovered the direct access gate to the Marine drive on our second day, wish we had done it before. The staff at the reception and the room service were very polite and helpful. They helped us find a non-smoking room on a floor which had no smoking rooms, which is what we wanted. The view was excellent. The breakfast buffet was very nice, with local as well as global options with freshness and taste. We got good recommendations for transportation, shopping and sight seeing from the staff. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Not 5 star, but perfectly okay

The people/service was excellent. For a 5 star hotel it was lacking - it wasn’t clean enough throughout the room (although the bathroom was fine). Had it been 3/4 star we would have rated it higher.
