Palm rest is a fantastic place to stay on kashidhoo. Our host, Himanshu is the Best person you could meet. So helpful and caring. He is a magnificent cook. Everything was deliciuos, and the fruit drinks very refreshing. The hotel is well maintained and clean. We were given every amenity imagined. Glass bottom kayak, snorkelling equipment, beach towels etc. The island itself is very peacful but has a bikini beach which is very comfy, has sunbeds, umrellas and hamaks.
