An awesome property to relax. Many activities can be done here - fishing, boating in Vembanad Lake (longest lake in India), bird spotting at a nearby sanctuary, cycling, spa, swimming and a lot more. Sumptuous meals are served by the restaurants with highest international standards. The cottages are so cool that you would like to stay in them for the... More

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. Stayed there during the monsoon(June 18th to 21st, 2012). There is no other place better to spend the monsoon than Kerala. The one thing that stood out from the time we checked was the exceptional service, from the Manager, to the room boys to the waiters at the... More

We stayed at this resort as part of a family vacation to celebrate our parents anniversary. The resort is simply beautiful - there is a central pond around which cottages are built. There were plenty of activities for young children like pottery making, rabbit feeding!, bicycling, etc. The staff provided very good service - both in restaurant as well as... More

Had a very bad experience out at this place. The people out there were interested in taking care of the foreigners but not the Indian customers. The breakfast was also not up to their standards and their service was also pathetic. Visit the place at your own risk.
