The Zuri Kumarakom

fering breathtaking views of the serene backwaters of Kerala, The Zuri Kumarakom Resort and Spa is situated on the shores of the Vembanad Lake, the longest backwater lake in Kerala. The fresh sea breeze, miles of serene backwaters and swaying coconut palms all welcome you to an unforgettable experience of luxury and peace. The dreamy state of Kerala, the southern tip of the Indian peninsula is often referred to as ‘God’s Own Country’ due to its pristine natural beauty. At the Zuri Kumarakom, experience everything from the colourful local culture, the mouth-watering local cuisine and the rich repository of flora and fauna found here, while surrounded by luxury. The Maya Spa, Zuri’s very own spa chain gives you the chance to pamper yourself with a wide variety of spa treatments that will leave you glowing both inside and outside.

Kerala.... God's own country. We landed in Cochin early in the morning & took a self driven zoom car to Kumarakom.The drive was beautiful amidst greenery & nature in full bounty. Nestled on the shores of the Vembanadu lake with a large outdoor lagoon, the resort was breathtakingly beautiful. We stayed in the cottage with lagoon view. A pleasant stay, excellent service,syurvedic massages to relax the mind body & soul.The food was lipsmacking. International as well as local cuisine. The classical dance performance in the evening was mesmerising. We loved the resort & would definitely like to visit it again.

Great experience very relaxing. Hospitality was great. Must go place. Me and my husband enjoyed a lot. The view is great with lots of stuff to do in the resort. Maya spa was so good and relaxing. Lime tree restaurant was awesome. Food was really good. A must go place for everyone.

The Zuri was indeed a luxurious getaway for my family and I. We stayed in the Pool Villa and had an amazing view of the backwaters from our patio. The room in itself was very spacious and clean, however there were alot of mosquitoes after dark, which made it difficult to sit by the pool (not the hotel's fault though, since the lake the just there). In terms of service, they do offer guests the chance to experience the houseboat for a daytrip, which includes lunch - however they do charge quite high rates for that experience (we were told, we could get half the price of what the hotel was charging if we just walked out of the resort a little). We were informed prior to booking this hotel (by our Travel Agent) that this was a complimentary service, but when we arrived at the hotel - we were told otherwise, so that kind of ruined this stay for us a little bit. We do not know who is to be blamed by this as both the resort and Travel Agent blame each other for the misleading information given- and the hotel did not give a viable explanation as to why/ or how to solve it, except for to tell us to talk to our Travel Agent about it. So that did not really give us a good impression. But other than that, this was a beautiful resort.

Had a wonderful stay in a pleasant resort with friendly staff that made it Such a delight. From receiving us to the time of departure they set us to please us. The delights of Kerala cuisine were an added plus. Hope to revisit some day and stay longer. Bashir Bulbulia.
