"Illicit stills, chair - bearing carioes and raffles drawn by an elephant greeted Saw Llewellyn in Kerala, southern India. But they couldn't compare with Sabu, the Mozart of hotel managers".
Set among a labyrinth of tiny orchards of mango and banana in the southern Indian state of Kerala, Hotel Blue Sea at Kovalam works according to a raga - like rhythm all of its own.
Hotel Blue Sea is a large cool and colonial Kerala home with a typical central courtyard. 
The Blue Sea contains two of the funkiest rooms in hoteldom - The Balcony Room, which has a shady balcony bigger than mm many drawing, rooms, and the Roof Room, effectively a Kerala home 60 ft. in the air. Here you can lead the life of a maharaja to the true sense of the term.

My own favourite is the mildly eccentric Hotel Blue Sea, once the family home of the two brothers who run it, about five minutes back from the beach. Their rooftop room (£ 25 a night), Where I lived like a rajah (apart from the temperamental plumbing), is the best place in which I have stayed for years, and fonfirms my long - held article of faith that for real service it's either the super de luxes of the simple family - owned places which do you best. And the hotel even has a large pool.
