Joys Resort Poovar

Joys resort have a very good and spacious rooms. Staffs are very courteous and ambience is too good. They also have well maintained pool that can be used till 9 pm. We also made use of the pedal boat available with them. Restaurant though needs to work up on the menu as the choices are limited. Definitely recommended.||P.S- when you go for boating to the estauray point- never go to samudra restaurant - they are cheats with exorbitant pricing of food items

Rooms are very spacious and majestically done,But there ends all the good part. We went after verifying multiple times whether everything is in working conditions(because of Covid Situation,u can never be sure these days) and got reply everything except paddle boats are perfectly OK. || But when we reached basic facilities like even Hot water was not available.TV was not working .AC stopped working from 2nd day.Swimming Pool was dirty and took 2 days to be made OK-well,somewhat...(the manger made arrangements to use pool in the nearby property,if that is any consolation)..All common areas dirty and uncleaned.There were no staff to any of our requirements like even basic drinking water,The basic toilet accessories like Soap,Shampoo etc are not available even after requesting many times.................. || Food Part was the worst...No restaurant was working(Chef missing -was the answer we got)..Breakfast was arranged from a nearby property,consistently late by 30-60 minutes from the time mutually agreed..Consistently Idli/Upma everyday but at a 4 star resort Buffet price,u will realize later(which was slightly reduced later after a "friendly" discussion-but still left wanting u to warn all ur friends never to take food from there )....||The only thing guaranteed was the pickup and drop in a boat to resort(provided by the resort) whenever u hv to go out-but that also went awfully wrong finally-with we-3 families ,with aged parents and 4 kids left waiting helplessly for more than 35-45 minutes in the dark & isolated parking ground for the only staff available,(who tried his best to help) to be free and come with boat ...But in spite of all this we have good memories of this Poovar trip.,but thats certainly not because of this resort stay || We can understand the covid related difficulties,but why the Joys management take booking if they are not able to offer the basic services,let alone luxuries?Its highly unethical & unprofessional

Rooms are big and neat. Resort chief made delicious breakfast and dinner for us. He is such a great skill. But only one major issue is that room number 5 and also room number 4 (first floor) bathroom gutter was chocked.

worst service. they does not having basic options for food menus . .while charging a huge amount for rooms and they even doesn't have a juice or bread butter for breakfast. even a 2* property is far better than this.. During the night time no one will attend the calls or no call back. As they charge a huge amount near to 25k they are telling that will give chapathy for complimentary in dinner. Never use this type of worst property in future. its my first booking

We went there during the end of September 2017. Awesome stay. Resort is on a small island in back waters. You need to go to kingfisher boat club and take a boat from there to reach resort. Food is delicious. Especially non veg dishes. A big pool is there to indulge yourself in peace. There are few pedal boats which you can use free of cost. Rooms are very nice. Bathrooms are the highlight :) no roof over bathing area!! Yes you heard me right. But yet, no one can see. All in all a wonderful stay destination.

Sharing few issues we faced during our trip through "Magic Moment"...... at Joys Resort, Poovar 1) Rooms allocated to us at Joys Resort were not cleaned properly. Floor was very dusty. 2) Spider cobwebs were seen above bed. 3) Many insects were roaming within the room. 4) Big spiders were seen in Toilet, at Joys. 5) Mirror was available only inside the bathroom. No Mirror was provided within the room (ground floor room) so we found it very difficult while getting ready. Everytime person has to go inside the bathroom to check the dress up. 6) only 3 Single Beds were provided (at 1st floor room) for 4 adults. We found it very difficult to manage as bed's height level was different. Additional bed was not provided with a reason of unavailability. However, in actual there was no any other guests in Joys resort. 7) At Joys, on the Day one, we faced food issues as well. Very limited options (only 2) were provided for Dinner & Breakfast. They could not provide us normal Bread-Butter & Juice. Reason given by hotel manager was that they were short of Material. *This was really pathetic.* Due to which we had left no option to get a proper breakfast outside with an additional cost to us.

Property is in bad shape, no maintenance seemed to have done for last 2 years. Restaurant is not working, food is served from another hotel (after 30-40minute delay than promised time). Swimming pool is the only available outdoor activity, that too was not avilable on 2days during our stay. Recommend to avoid booking.
