A relaxing natural retreat well tucked in among lush marshlands. That would be the best way to describe waterscapes Kumarokam. One should note that this resort was built on top of thick and pristine marshlands, and hence every care has been taken not to disturb the natural habitat of the abundant fauna which calls this place as home.

Just loved the way the rooms are built here.. Individual cottages raised at a 1st floor level. The welcome was pleasant and the rooms clean and hygienic. Would recommend a stay in this resort. It is located inside the limits of Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. So every morning, as early as 5-7 am you can just walk the defined track (approx... More

Waterscapes resort is located right on the Vembanad lake, and impresses you with the layout first-up. The cottages are set up above canals, and you have climb up the stairs to enter the cottages. The pathways, restaurant all are set up along/above the canals, and it gives the resort a different look. The swimming pool is quite big, and right... More

Very impressive look. A massive property. But very badly maintained. The retaurant is one of its type with long glass windows facing a water body from all sides but the water is so badly kept that you feel unhygenic. I went there for dinner so I escaped the filthy look of the water Expensive for its profile. Must be the... More

First of all its a KTDC hotel not Taj or Hilton so the expectations shouldn't be that high. When one goes thru the reviews it gives the feeling of a really substandard set up, but contrary to that my experience at this resort is absolutely great. Even that would be an understatement. Living in Kerala i have been to numerous... More
