Delicious Food!

“The dining experience at the resort was beyond my expectations. Each meal I had was delicious and featured a fantastic array of Kerala cuisine. In particular, the breakfast buffet had a wide selection of fresh and authentic dishes that were truly satisfying. I even found that my kids enjoyed the local food just as much as the pasta options!” view full review

Authentic Ayurvedic Experience

“I indulged in the Ayurvedic center at the resort and found the treatments incredibly therapeutic. The two therapists working on me provided an authentic Ayurveda experience, which was both relaxing and revitalizing. I felt rejuvenated after my bundle massage, and I appreciated the uniqueness of it compared to western-style spas.” view full review

Our stay was truly unforgettable! Spending nights on a houseboat with a beautiful view of the backwaters was a unique experience. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and offered a nice blend of modern amenities and traditional charm. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, and the meals were absolutely delicious. However, after sunset, the mosquitoes made staying on the deck a challenge, so it's advisable to bring entertainment for the evenings.

My stay at Kumarakom Lake Resort was truly an amazing experience! The staff were exceptionally kind and went out of their way to make us feel at home.

My stay at the hotel was simply enchanting. Set amidst magnificent gardens, the ambiance was tranquil and picturesque, perfect for a peaceful escape. The rooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable, but I found the lack of air conditioning in the dining hut a bit disappointing.

The location against the backwaters of Kumarakom added an exquisite touch to our time there, making it a dream come true for nature lovers and photographers alike.
