I am not Keralite but had been there for holidays 3 years ago. Regarding massage and spa, the star hotels are definitely the best. Ayurvedic Panchkarma Massage is truly the experience beyond words.

Try lovely house boats in Allapuzza or Alleppi. In Periyaar live in forest hotel near the Periyar lake or the one on the nearby island. But book it as soon as possible as it is very difficult to get the booking.
