Backwater Ripples Kumarakom ★★★★★

📍 Nazerath Church Road, likkalam, Kumarakom

"It is very clean, has a beautiful garden, a pool with nice few of the lake and also the food was really great. Sindhu (the experience manager) took a lot of time taking care of us. She helped me with my skin problems by finding some good herbs, took lots of pictures of us, showed us the garden and gave us some fresh mangos straight from the tree. Also the reception was very friendly and helpful - they brought us some fresh coconut, answered all of our questions and also brought some breakfast to the room. An ayurvedic doctor gave us a lot of insight and we had a great masage, worth the money (around 25€ for 1 hour). There are events included, such as a boat trip with the sunset, guided walks, afternoon tea and snacks, and a lot more. All together it was a great experience."

Rhythm Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Rhythm Kumarakom

"Rhythm kumarakom. A property that drew me to it was the sheer expanse of its pool. With a length of 150 meters, it’s best to take a pool cottage as that helps u step straight from your room into the pool ! and that’s quite a perk ! the rooms are clean and the usual kind that we find in any luxury property. They are not ultra luxurious and would rate them as 3/5. Though i must say they are clean and v comfortable. The bathroom has 2 showers with one that’s even open to sky. Which unfortunately i could not use as there’s no hot water in that one. But every time, anything falls short the pool makes up for it more than enough ! the waters really good and the pool is extremely clean. The staff is courteous and though language is a bit of a problem ( which seemed to be the case all over kumarakom) it’s not difficult to manage. For lovers of south indian - keralite cuisine this place is idle. The food and service in the restaurant is good with reasonable rates. And a special mention is befitting ashwin, aashna and the service manager bijou. The property expanse is not much so if u are looking for sprawling gardens and pathways. Rhythm would not be the chosen one. There are bicycles available but surprisingly this is the first time i came across a luxury resort that charges its guests rs 250+ taxes as rent on an hourly basis. That is an expense which usually is something i have not encountered and a bit of a put off. The spa is good but think it’s over priced. Overall it’s a property worth visiting without any regrets. Just a heads up - you must prepare urself to see a whole lot of guests swimming in their regular t-shirts ! though mentioned that only swimming attire would be permitted, don’t be surprised to see women in salwar suits. Men and boys in t-shirts with their swimming trunks ! the blessing here is that the pool is so big that this ghastly sight seems v far and distant ! lol would give this property a solid 4. 3 out of 5"

Lake Palace Family Resort Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Lake Palace Family Resort Kumarakom

"We have stayed here few times previously when we visited India. Hotel had been consistently declining and now it is pretty bad. We planned to stay a few days but checked out after staying there one night. We had informed them that we will arrive little early. Checkin time was 2 PM. We arrived there at 1.30 PM. They told us that checkin is at 2 so had to wait. We did. The room they have assigned us (booked a Luxury Pavillion Room) was really old, the AC didnot work properly, the bathroom toilet water was running and the bathroom ceiling leaked and flooded the bathroom floor. We reported to the front desk, they said “thank you”, they must have known this already. Overall this resort has declined to a two star experience, we loved our first stay here several years ago. Now the culture is totally different. We will not return to this resort again. Will try the other newer resorts with good reviews."

Green Fields Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Green Fields Kumarakom

"Only had one night but room was very spacious with working air con on a very hot night. The staff were polite and friendly and whilst we were in the pool one of the workers offered to get us a couple of pool towels. The pool was clean and very inviting temperature. There is a really nice raised area to sit above the pool which had a slight breeze. The food in the restaurant was not that great but as nothing was really close by and we had no transport this was really only option."
