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. The natural beauty surrounding the resort provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation. However, the rooms could use a slight update to elevate the overall experience. Still, it was an excellent value for the quality of service and amenities offered.

We stayed in a meandering pool villa, which was spacious and comfortable, featuring a separate lounging area and direct access to the pool. It felt a bit dated in some parts, so an upgrade would really enhance the experience.

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 service was attentive and made me feel at home, contributing to an overall fabulous experience. 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.

My stay was a mix of wonderful experiences and a few disappointments. The rooms were lovely and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. However, the noise from a corporate group during my visit really detracted from the peace of the resort. While the location by the backwaters is stunning, I would not recommend it if you’re looking for tranquility.
