Ready to unwind in Kumarakom? Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa is a spectacular lakeside retreat that hits all the right notes for a peaceful getaway—with picture-perfect gardens, tranquil backwater views, and some of the tastiest food you'll have on your trip! 🌴✨ The setting is ideal for those craving nature, relaxation, and a touch of luxury away from the rush. Nestled along the scenic Athikkalam Ammankari Road, this resort is very accessible by car and is just a short drive from Kottayam Railway Station. The meandering walking paths surrounded by lush greenery invite you out for a morning stroll or peaceful sunset walk. The rooms—impeccably clean and plush—set the scene for a truly restful stay. But what really sets Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa apart is the warmth of its staff. The friendly team is always ready to help, going the extra mile to ensure you feel at home. Foodies will be in heaven—the extensive buffet and à la carte options feature regional specialties and global favorites, with staff quick to cater to special diets. For activities, there’s kayaking and some cultural shows, but if you’re seeking non-stop entertainment, you might find options a bit limited—though the serene vibe is perfect if you just want to unwind. Don’t forget to snap a photo on the backwater bridge for those Insta-worthy memories! To book your stay, head to trip.com early for the best rates—this resort is popular, especially during weekends and holidays. Pair your visit with a houseboat tour and a stop at Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary for the ultimate backwater escape. #kumarakom #resortstay #luxurytravel #indiahotels #tripdotcom
