Stayed: April 2026 | Deluxe Room | Family (2 adults, 1 child) Booked through HDFC Concierge, who mentioned a possible room upgrade if availability permitted. The hotel was fully booked during our stay so no upgrade came through — entirely understandable, and the Deluxe room was more than comfortable anyway. One step above the base category, well-appointed, clean, and opened to a lovely outdoor space. The real showstopper was the sunset over Vembanad Lake. Genuinely breathtaking — the kind that makes you put your phone down and just watch. Breakfast was included and struck the right balance — sufficient variety and quantity without being excessive. Dinner was equally good in quality, though portions could have been a touch more generous. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but worth noting if you have a hearty appetite. The pool was clean and well-maintained, and the overall property is beautifully kept. Staff were courteous throughout — attentive without being intrusive, which is exactly what you want on a leisure stay. For a one-night family stay, this ticked all the boxes. At the price point we got, it’s outstanding value for a 5-star lakefront resort. Would return without hesitation.

What a fabulous property and amazing staff. This is a sprawling property right at Vembanad Lake and a community-like layout of rooms. Their hospitality is great with a pretty amazing restaurant. Rich in flora and birds. You literally can spend two days just inside the property without having to step out at all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The setting on the lake and lagoon are absolutely magical. The grounds are absolutely spectacular. The service was excellent with friendly staff. We used the pool and boating facilities. We ate in the restaurant where we found both food and service to be fabulous. Afternoon high tea was a lovely added feature. The rooms are dated but very comfortable and we look forward to returning to a more modernised hotel.
