Fragrant Nature is a fantastic choice for those looking to experience Kochi’s charm while enjoying excellent service and comfort. Sandra at reception was particularly helpful—she patiently answered all of our questions and even arranged a private car for our five-hour drive to the next destination, which made our transition smooth and stress-free. The rooftop restaurant was a highlight, offering stunning views over the city and backwaters. The food was good, and the happy hour tea was a unique experience, featuring local live music that added an authentic touch. We did a couple of spa treatments (massage and body mask) that were followed by 10 minutes in the steam room which was amazing. The spa was clean and no frills. The oils and scrubs you could tell were very natural and nourishing. Also, all the toiletries in the bathrooms were so yummy smelling! A short walk away are the Chinese fishing nets, an iconic and must-see feature of Kochi. We also participated in a cooking class with the chef, which was a fun and interactive way to learn about Kerala cuisine. Another cultural gem was the Kathakali performance—a traditional dance that focuses on expressive storytelling. We went early to watch them apply their makeup - very interesting to watch! Before the actual performance, they explained what all of the different facial expressions meant and demonstrated. The hotel arranged this for us. Seeing it up close made us appreciate the depth of this art form. If you want a quiet, well-located hotel with great service and cultural experiences, Fragrant Nature is a great pick.
