Beautiful and heavenly place with peace and tranquil surroundings. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had specifically booked the heritage suites, in the original Baker's bungalow, but the reception staff was initially tried to offer me a sub standard private villa, but I protested. Front desk manager immediately resolved the issue and offered me the originally booked heritage suite. It was a great. Facilities were top class. Food was delicious and exceptional. Spa and massage facilities were amazing..i had a foot massage by a masseur name by Imran from North East state of Manipur, who was very good and professional. That massage was one of the best I have had. Highly recommend the spa facilities. Would like to return.
Reception staff initially tried to fob me off with a sub standard villa, which wasn't a great experience. It was felt like they wanted to reserve the heritage suites for white skinned foreigners, a age old tradition of foreign appeasement, by Indians! But it was resolved when I protested. Afterwards, everything was just perfect.

If you like the rustic away from everyone space this is beautiful. The pakoras and tea at 5pm was yum. Staff were friendly and kind
At check in - maybe just a guide as to where to find what

Warm welcome , great tea time snacks
Bit out of the way - but this isn’t the property’s fault. Does feel very expensive - in terms of meals etc but great variety.
No alcoholic spirits was also surprising

We liked the amenities provided. Kids enjoyed the leisure activities arranged to them during the stay (cycling duck feeding, zip line etc..). The walk to the lKe the lake side was an enjoyable time for the family. Staff was very polite, helpful, and professional. They ensured our wedding anniversary was memorable by decorating our room and arranging a cake for us. A sweet gesture by the FnB team. Ms. Neetu in reception and Mr. Suresh and the rest of the FnB team are very helpful.
Can't think of something that we didn't like at the place.

- Location
- Hospitality - fantastic set of people (chef/ bell boys/ waiters/ front of house) the only reason I would consider going back.
- Food quality
Menu options - Advertised vs. actuall menu. I left disappointed when I was told all my menu choices were not available and had to choose of an another menu.
Facility
-Our visit was during the onset of Monsoon - my room had water dripping from the ceiling, and common areas outside our room had puddles of water.
- Multiple power outages during the 3 days were unusual in a 5 star property like Taj.
-There were no sufficient umbrellas available at the property (low occupancy).
Child friendly options - it would be extremely nice if the hotel could consider introducing kids club or child friendly facilities. Something I was petrified, having young children in the group - the facility lacked safety measures near the lagoon areas
General upkeep
Though the concept is village living - for a brand like Taj, this property needs some renovation in general.
-The bridges over water bodies were a bit worn out, and club cars were not able to drive across
-If there are heavy rains , get ready to walk in puddles of water.

The staff were friendly and the landscape / flora was very pretty. The historical main building was charming as well.
Mid to junior staff while friendly were found inefficient/lacking in many respects. Given they don't service more than 28 rooms/units were slow to most requests.

One of the best properties I have visited in Kumarakoam. The staff was really friendly and service was top notch. Special appreciation to Mr. Noyal Front Office Manager, Pardeep Housekeeping, Executive Chef and the entire team. Food was really up to the mark and well prepared. The location is also quite nice. I would say this is a must visit place if you are in Kochi.

Breakfast had a good spread. The fruits on offer were sweet and fresh. The filter coffee was very authentic. The poori and accompanying curry were hot and fresh.
The medhu vada could have been hotter and fresher. The sambar was good but not entirely authentic.

We loved the hospitality, especially Ankur made the trip very special. He catered to all our needs and makes incredible soy milk cappuccinos. He made sure we had a great stay. Manoj the executive chef was incredible and Senthil from house keeping made the room very special for our honeymoon stay.

It is a beautiful, tranquil property. very exclusive.
the location & overall property is stunning.
the staff is fantastic. very attentive.
no crowds. no outside visitors. just hotel guests which are a small number. except for meal times, you hardly see any guests. it feels like a very private holiday.
nothing.
more authentic kerala cuisine could be added.
The evening tea could include kerala snacks to complete the experience.
