Escape to Paradise in Thrissur: My Messy, Honest, and Absolutely Human Review!
Okay, folks, buckle up. This isn't your typical polished review. This is my unfiltered, slightly manic, and very enthusiastic take on "Escape to Paradise: Your Own 3-BHK Resort Home in Thrissur!" Get ready for some honest assessments, a few minor meltdowns (mostly from the sheer joy), and a whole lot of… well, you'll see.

- Meta Description: Dreaming of paradise? This review spills the beans on "Escape to Paradise" in Thrissur, Kerala! From the palatial 3-BHK villas to the spa, pool, and everything in between, I'll share the good, the slightly chaotic, and the utterly unforgettable. Plus, accessibility, safety, and food – oh, the food! Come along for the ride!
Accessibility: (Let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way first!)
Alright, let's be real. Accessibility is HUGE for me, especially after that… incident last year. (Don't ask.) Escape to Paradise claims to be accessible, and while I've had to ding hotels with some serious accessibility issues in the past, this place largely delivers. Wheelchair accessible? Yes, for the most part! Ramps are present, and the main areas are navigable. Facilities for disabled guests? They've got some, but it's not perfect. Call ahead and confirm your specific needs. The staff seemed genuinely helpful, which is a HUGE plus in my book. The elevator was a lifesaver, particularly after a particularly vigorous session in the pool. And speaking of…
Swimming Pool & Spa: My Happy Place (and Potential for Sunburns)
The swimming pool [outdoor] is a stunner. Seriously. That pool with a view? Worth the price of admission (almost). I spent half my trip just floating around, staring at the sky and feeling all my worries melt away. (Okay, the sunburn was a bit of a worry, but totally worth it.)
Then there's the Spa/sauna, which is where I got into trouble in the best possible way. I booked a Body scrub (it’s a must!), followed by a massage, and… let's just say I emerged a new woman. Or, well, a slightly more relaxed, vaguely smelling of sandalwood, very happy woman. The steamroom was absolute heaven, and they also had a foot bath. Seriously, what's not to love?
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spoiler Alert: I Did Both!
Besides all the spa goodness, there's plenty to keep you occupied. The Fitness center is there, if you're into that torture (kidding… mostly). I did pop in once. I barely survived. There were also some really cool outdoor venue for special events, but more on that later. Mostly, I took advantage of the pool and the… you know… just being.
On-Site Dining: A Culinary Adventure (with a Side of Overeating)
Okay, the food. Let's talk food. This is where "Escape to Paradise" really shines.
- Restaurants: Multiple choices! Restaurants with both, Asian, International, and Vegetarian cuisine are the mainstays, and they're all pretty darn good. The a la carte in restaurant options were fantastic!
- Breakfast is Served!: You get a Breakfast [buffet] or breakfast takeaway service. The Asian breakfast options were divine, and as a true Westerner, their Western breakfast was pretty nice. Coffee/tea in restaurant? You betcha. They also had a Coffee shop.
- Snacking Situation: A Snack bar is perfect when you are poolside.
- Room Service?: Room service [24-hour]? Oh yes. I’m the kind of person who will get midnight cravings.
- Happy Hour: Yes. Just yes.
The food was so good, I essentially lived in a constant state of happy gluttony. I may have eaten my weight in desserts… there was a desserts in restaurant, y’all! And I’m not even sorry.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling the Peace of Mind
This is where things get serious. Especially nowadays, right? "Escape to Paradise" takes safety seriously, and that’s a huge relief.
- Hygiene certification: Check!
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Double-check!
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Absolutely.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: You betcha.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Yup.
- Safe dining setup: Yep.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere.
- Individual-wrapped food options: Always lovely.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Nice touch!
- Cashless payment service: Convenient!
I felt really safe and secure throughout my stay. In addition, they have CCTV in common areas and outside property. The Fire extinguisher was in plain sight!
Services and Conveniences: Above and Beyond
Look, this place is designed to make your life easy.
- Air conditioning in public area: Essential in Thrissur.
- Concierge: Super helpful. They sorted out some tricky travel arrangements for me.
- Daily housekeeping: Nice and tidy.
- Laundry service: Huge lifesaver.
- Luggage storage: Easy peasy.
- Currency exchange: Handy!
- Cash withdrawal: Never a problem.
- Elevator: A must. Elevator, Elevator, Elevator.
- Ironing service: Thank goodness. I came unprepared.
- Food delivery: Not that I needed it with the on-site options.
- Business facilities: They’ve got them, but I was too busy relaxing.
Rooms: My 3-BHK Home (and a Few Minor Gripes)
Okay, the villas. The real reason to come here. Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Air conditioning, Air conditioning. (I need to chill) Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub. Free bottled water: Always a win. Internet access – wireless: Essential. Ironing facilities: Thank goodness. Mini bar: Tempting. Mirror: Needed. Non-smoking: Love it!
The villa itself was spacious, luxurious, and… perfect for a family, or, you know, me and my excessive luggage (which, surprisingly, fit). Honestly, this place is made for a group. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The seating area was perfect. Everything was in Additional toilet.
My Minor Gripes (because nobody's perfect)
- The Wi-Fi. While the Wi-Fi [free] in all rooms is a huge plus, it could be spotty at times. I had to wander a bit to find a decent signal. A slightly faster/more robust version, would be great.
- The Breakfast in room thing. It’s available, but it wasn't quite as smooth as you'd expect. It took a little while to get everything ordered and delivered. A minor thing, but an area for improvement.
- The lack of on-site grocery options was a little frustrating. As a creature of habit, I would have liked a local grocery store to stroll to.
Overall Verdict: Go! Just Go!
"Escape to Paradise" in Thrissur is a winner. It's a place where you can truly relax, indulge, and forget about the outside world (at least for a little while). It has its quirks, sure, but the incredible spa, the delicious food, the spacious villas, and the attentive staff more than make up for them.
Would I go back? In. A. Heartbeat. I'm already planning my return. Just don't tell anyone I'm going to hog the pool this time.
Final Score: 4.5 out of 5 stars (because perfection is boring!)
Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. I just really, really enjoyed my stay. And I need to book another spa treatment ASAP.
Luxury Lagos Living: Crystal House Shortlets Await!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This ain't your grandma's sterile itinerary. We're heading to Belljem Homes, my own slice of heaven in Thrissur, India, 3 BHK FF, and let me tell you, it's gonna be a rollercoaster. My brain? Currently on overdrive, buzzing with anticipation and the vague fear of forgetting my toothbrush. Let's get this glorious, chaotic mess started:
Belljem Homes Blowout: A Messy Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & "Oh My God, Is This Real?"
- 10:00 AM (Roughly): Land in Kochi. Ugh, airports. The stale air, the desperate faces clinging to oversized luggage… But! The reward? Belljem Homes! My driver (bless his patience) will be waiting. Pray for no traffic; the thought of spending an hour in a metal box with horn-happy drivers makes me want to weep. Already slightly hangry.
- 11:30 AM (ish): Drive to Thrissur. The Kerala landscape? Breathtaking. I mean, properly breathtaking. Lush green, the smell of spices wafting through the air… I'll actually try to not spend the whole drive glued to my phone this time. Emphasis on try.
- 1:30 PM (Probably): Arrive at Belljem Homes! Cue the squeals of delight! Okay, maybe not squeals, but definitely a "Wow." Followed by a frantic search for the key and a mental inventory check: "Is that really the view? Did I dream this place? Wow, they weren't kidding about the space…" The kids are immediately off exploring, a tornado of excited energy. (Thank god for the pool!)
- 2:00 PM: Lunch! Okay, a slight problem: I totally forgot to plan lunch. Time to order some biryani. Let's hope the delivery guy doesn't get lost (happened last time. Took hours. I was ravenous).
- 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Pool time! Mandatory. Splash, scream, attempt to perfect my backstroke (a work in progress). Sunscreen? Check. Reality check: my skin burns like a cheap toaster.
- 6:00 PM: The Sunset Viewing Ceremony. (Okay, I made that up, but it is a ceremony in my mind). Cocktails on the balcony, watching the sun bleed into the sky. Pure, unadulterated bliss. The kind that makes you forget you have a mountain of laundry waiting back home.
- 7:30 PM: Dinner. Another delivery? Hmm… I might actually attempt to cook something (probably will end in disaster. But the attempt is what counts, right?). If the cooking plan fails, then yes, more biryani.
- 8:30 PM - Bedtime: Family time! Board games? Movie night? Arguments about who gets the last slice of pizza? The usual, messy, beautiful chaos.
Day 2: Temples, Teas, and Transient Thoughts
- Morning: Let’s wake up! Oh dear, it’s still morning! And the kids are already bouncing off the walls. Breakfast? I’m thinking the local breakfast for the day, idli and dosa. Or, I might just grab a coffee and hide. My decision-making processes are rarely linear.
- 10:00 AM: Visit the Vadakkunnathan Temple. I want to experience it, not be a tourist. No selfies, just soaking in the atmosphere (and the heat, undoubtedly). Prepare for sensory overload - the chanting, the smells of incense, the sheer volume of vibrant life. I'll try to be respectful and quiet. (Famous last words, from a woman who once tripped over a prayer rope and yelled, "Ouch!")
- 12:00 PM: Tea Tasting! Kerala is famous for its tea plantations. We'll drive up to a local tea shop. I'm not a huge tea drinker, but the views and the experience… that's what it's all about. Plus, pastries. Let's be honest.
- 1:30 PM: Lunch. Something simple, from a local café. I'm on a mission to try the flavors. I'll definitely try to not let the kids make a mess. Seriously, that is my main goal of the day.
- Afternoon: Explore the local market. Souvenirs? Probably. Spices? Absolutely. Bargaining skills? Let’s see if I can actually get a good deal.
- Evening: Cooking class! This is where things could go horribly, wonderfully wrong. I barely know how to boil an egg. But I've always wanted to learn to make authentic Kerala cuisine. Let the chaos commence! I will try to post a picture, if I don't burn the house down.
- Bedtime: Reflecting on the day: Was it the best or the worst day ever? Probably both. This is the beauty of life at Belljem Homes.
Day 3: Beaches, Bliss, and the Bitter-Sweet Goodbye
- Morning: Sleep in? Maybe. Or, more likely, I'll be up before the sun, fueled by caffeine and the need for quiet time (because, kids). Maybe I just need to sneak out to the balcony and have some “me” time.
- 10:00 AM: Head to a nearby beach. Sun, sand, surf! Okay, maybe not surf, it's Kerala, but the ocean is lovely. This is what I've been waiting for!
- Afternoon: Beach time! Build sandcastles, search for seashells, get utterly plastered with sunscreen and just…be. (And try to stop the kids from running wild. Pray for me.). Eat some seafood. Try not to get a sunburn that will haunt me for weeks.
- Evening: The dreaded packing. Actually trying to shove everything back into suitcases. It won’t go well. The suitcases will be overflowing, and I'll probably find snacks in unexpected places (like, deep in the underwear drawer).
- 7:00 PM: Final dinner. A bittersweet moment. This experience has been amazing! This is the truth.
- Bedtime: Waking up early for the flight. Ah, the cycle of life rolls on.
Day 4: Leaving & Missing It Already
- 7:00 AM: Sad goodbye to Belljem Homes, the glorious place. And getting on the plane.
- Throughout The Day: Remembering the trip and creating a plan to come back.
Important Notes:
- Flexibility is Key: This itinerary is more of a suggestion than a rigid schedule. Embrace the spontaneity! (And, let's be real, expect the unexpected.)
- Embrace the Mess: There will be meltdowns (mostly from the kids, but potentially from me too). There will be delays. There will be forgotten sunscreen. That's life. Enjoy the chaos.
- Food: Expect lots of it. I'm a big eater.
- Most Importantly: Have fun! And don't judge me too harshly for the rambling. This is my life, you're just living it… virtually, in this case.
So, there you have it! My Belljem Homes adventure. It's going to be a blast. And if you see me, come say hi! (Unless I'm mid-meltdown. In that case, maybe offer me a cocktail. Or a hug. Or both.) Wish me luck!

Escape to Paradise: Your Own 3-BHK Resort Home in Thrissur - FAQs (Because, Seriously, We Get It!)
Okay, so...is this REALLY a "resort home"? Sounds a bit fancy, TBH.
Alright, let's be real. "Resort Home" is a *catchy* term. Think of it like this: you get all the perks of a vacation home (peace, quiet, your own space, the ability to wear pajamas all day...) BUT with some seriously awesome resort-style goodies thrown in. Like, say, a pool. And maybe a gym. And hopefully, REALLY good Wi-Fi so you can actually get some work done *without* wanting to chuck your laptop into the Arabian Sea (been there, done that, metaphorically speaking, of course...Thrissur isn't *that* close to the sea).
Essentially, it's a home designed for living well, but also for feeling like you're on a permanent vacation. That's the goal, at least. We're aiming for "comfortably luxurious." Not "stuffy rich person." We're aiming for 'can afford Netflix and chips'.
Thrissur? What's even *there*? (Asking for a friend... who is also me.)
Thrissur! Ah, the cultural capital of Kerala. Look, I'll be honest, before I started working on this, I thought Thrissur was just, you know, *there*. But boy, was I wrong. It's got temples, elephants (yes, really!), festivals (Thrissur Pooram, anyone?) and the most amazing, spicy food. Forget bland, generic tourist traps. This is the REAL Kerala experience. My first visit, I was utterly lost, and it was glorious - someone even helped me find the restaurant that ended up being the best meal of my life. And the people are just... lovely. Seriously. Even the autorickshaw drivers mostly give you a fair price (mostly!). So, if you're tired of the usual, you're in for a treat. You'll find yourself yelling "Kerela is GREAT!" at random strangers.
How big IS this 3-BHK home? Is it big enough to hide from my relatives? (Asking for *myself* this time.)
Okay, the square footage... details are still being polished (like, the actual size of the deck, y'know?). What I *can* tell you is that it's designed to be spacious. Enough room for kids to run around (if you have 'em), enough room for a home office (believe it or not, this is my dream), and ABSOLUTELY enough room to strategically place yourself away from anyone you want to avoid. Seriously. The layout is well thought out. You're not going to be crammed into a shoebox. We're talking "comfortable relaxation" here, not "claustrophobic panic". We're talking, 'I'll lock myself in the master suite and claim I've got a work emergency'.
Pool? Gym? What else is included to get me to buy in? Sounds really nice, really.
Yes to pool and gym, of course! But as for the "WHAT ELSE" factor to get you to sign up - trust me when I say, it's worth it. I've seen the plans, I've listened to the promises. It's a lifestyle package:
- Seriously Good Security: Because, peace of mind.
- Landscaping: Lush! Beautiful! Get away from that urban jungle and into nature!
- Clubhouse: Maybe for meetings, maybe for a game of cards with friends (they'll need to be invited).
- Dedicated parking: No more circling the block for 20 minutes, praying someone will leave.
- Backup Electricity (for some): Power cuts happen, so let us deal with it!
Look, I've been in this business a while. And a good resort isn't just about the amenities. it's about the feeling. The feeling of being able to finally *breathe*. And that can not be bought. It seems to be included.
OK, so, what about the downsides? There HAVE to be some, right? Like, the mosquitoes? (I'm allergic.)
Alright, honesty time: Yes, Kerala has mosquitoes. They're a fact of life. But the development *should* be designed with mosquito control in mind (good drainage, landscaping that doesn't encourage stagnation, etc.). We're not promising a mosquito-free utopia (because, spoiler alert, that doesn't exist). However, the aim is to have a reduced mosquito presence and a lot of advice and precautions to get rid of Mosquitoes.
Other potential "downsides"? Well, construction can take time, which is a general problem in this line of business. (Be patient- it's worth it). But hey, at least you do not deal with the bureaucracy of obtaining planning permission. But for other negatives from a personal level, I like to have a conversation and get a better understanding on your side! This way, I'll be able to assist you with the best information I can to make some better decisions.
Can I rent it out when I'm not there? (Because, you know, bills.)
That's a great question, and a popular one! We're exploring options regarding rental management – basically, someone to handle bookings, guest communication, cleaning, and all that jazz. This is still a work in progress (it's *very* important to get this right), but the plan is to offer some sort of program. Because yes, bills need paying. And who doesn't love a little extra income to splurge on, I don't know, more vacations?
However, *please* don't expect to make a fortune. Rental income is variable, and you still have to factor in expenses. It's more about offsetting costs and potentially making a little extra money on the side. We're not promising instant riches, but rather a way to make your investment work for you while you are not there. Let's be realistic here.
What's the view like? I need a good view. Like, a REALLY good view. Will I get to see the elephants?
The view... that is the golden point, and yes, the view is an all-important factor. And I completely understand your need for a "really good view". As for seeing elephants from your balcony... well, that's probably not in the cards (unless you get *incredibly* lucky). However, the landscape of Thrissur is rich. It's lush and green and beautiful! It's not a concrete jungle, but a vibrant, natural paradise. And frankly, watching the sunset fade over the palm trees, or the rain falling and washing all of life's grime away is the kind of view you're going to get.
