I had mixed feelings about my stay at the resort. While the location was beautiful with a stunning view of the lake and the swimming pool area was well-maintained, the dining experience left much to be desired. Although I enjoyed the attentiveness of the staff, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the peaceful surroundings, the food quality and variety did not live up to my expectations.

My stay at the resort was a memorable experience with a welcoming atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The hospitality was exceptional, especially with the efforts of the manager who made sure we felt comfortable throughout our family outing. However, the bathroom setup could use some improvement as it was quite awkward, and the room-service options were lacking. The buffet breakfast and the clean pool were definite highlights, making it a worthwhile visit overall.

Staying at the resort was an absolute delight! The private pool villa was perfect for relaxation and provided a great sense of privacy. While the location is stunning and offers beautiful views of Kumarakom's backwaters, the rooms do feel a bit dated and could use some renovations. The food was quite good but be aware that there are no alcohol options on-site, which is something to keep in mind. Overall, it's a great value for money especially with the luxurious private pool experience.

We had a lovely stay at this resort, celebrating our first anniversary. The breathtaking views of the lake and the beautiful property made for an extraordinary experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, which enhanced our stay. However, while the room had charm, the noise from neighboring rooms was a downside. The dining options were quite good but could benefit from a bit more variety.
