We are visited on 14th oct Wonderful experience with pearl spot tours houseboat the interior and rooms are too good and excellent service by boat team.. the overall atmosphere on the boat was wonderfulPosted on Mohammed AliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been with my extended family and booked four rooms on the boat. The rooms and food were decent, and we had a great experience with the staff on board. I would like to mention that I misplaced my bag near a shop and called the next day to check if they could help me. Luckily, they were able to locate the bag at a nearby shop and later couriered it to me. A big shout-out to the entire Pearlspot Boathouse team, the chef, and a special thanks to Baiju!Posted on Ravi MathanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
