Excellent resort to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Calm, beautiful, delicious food and enough local activities from the resort for the 2 nights we were there. The front office were very welcoming from the start of our visit to the end of our stay. We indulged in the houseboat cruise which was bliss. And we also did the sunset cruise with Kavi and the musicians who entertained us really well. Kavi is very charismatic and obliged with taking memorable photos and clips! Thanks to all the staff.

Kumarakom Lake Resort is sheer bliss from Alleppey

We took a 2 day houseboat from Alleppey booked through the resort (beware of cheaper houseboats that will disappoint you) and had the experience of a lifetime.It was simply amazing to be able to experience and share the daily lives of the people who live by the backwaters. Our onboard chef catered for all our needs and was always going that extra mile.When we docked at the Resort the 5* service continued.Everyone should do this - you will never regret this journey. I would however suggest that more facilities to cater for children would be welcome as whats on offer is very limiting.I would like to have seen more variety of western cuisine to cater for those who don't like spicy food - especially for children.Finally, please don't charge for wifi as this is a necessity and not a luxury these days.If you have to charge for this service than loose it in your room rates.

Best place to stay in Kumarakom

this is my third time stayed at the hotel. My view experience has not changed. Very well maintained hotel. I went two weeks after the devastating floods and the hotel was up and running, no sign of any damage. i reached early and was granted an early check in as requested. Though they informed that the hotel was not flooded. Stayed in the heritage lake view villa with private pool. Cant call it a pool though. very small. its a large jacuzzi. The room is well appointed, spacious. My AC wasnt working well and was attended to immediately. Of the two restaurants, one was out of service due to maintenance and repair work. the only problem with the room is too many scattered switches. its required to have one master switch for all the lights in the room.over all a very super experience.

Great Heritage Resort

Nice heritage resort with interesting historical architecture. The pool villas were spacious and comfortable. If you like antiques the decor will appeal to you. The staff are very attentive and helpful with everything. The food is excellent. The price is steep for India but the location and amenities make it worth while if you want to treat yourself to something special. Overnight on the resort Houseboat was fantastic.

Hope to Return

Heaven on Earth. My wife and I stayed for 4 nights although we wish we could have stayed longer. We arrived at 9am and our room was unexpectedly made available at 10am even though we hadn’t informed the hotel in advance. We only ate in the Seafood Restaurant so can’t comment on the buffet, service was excellent and the food was very tasty. There was a long happy hour, 11am-5pm with 241 on locally produced alcoholic drinks. Afternoon tea is complimentary and the sunset cruise is a must, the local musicians were very calming.

Spot on

Excellent hotel, service spot on. Beautiful gardens, villa very nice and well maintained. area nice too for backwaters and hotel has a great private backwater trip you can do. THey also do a complimentary sunset cruise on the lake. We had a lake view villa with private pool. Very nice but bear in mind that the pool is at the back of the villa and for privacy surrounded by high wall. no lake view from private pool but still very nice to have and to relax. It also had a jacuzzi. If would probably requested villa no. 106 for return visit. The 'meandering pool villas' also looked nice but i think you would need to request unit 144 which had fab lake view and private shady gazebo. Food excellent - both restaurants were very good and we noticed a higher quality of food here compared with other hotels we had visited (4 and 5*). Great place to relax after a tour of the region. Would certainly recommend.
