This is a small resort with about 30 rooms. its nice and quiet and does not have the hustle and bustle of a busy resort. laid back is the right word. very limited dining options with a limited menu. the hotel bar only serves beer and wine but there is a bar nearby where you can buy liquor. only a couple of rooms have lake view. a nice place for a couple of days or till you run out of options on the menu.

The hotel staff are very friendly and polite. However, the internet connection and service is far below standards for any hotel. It was intermittent at best and not available for few minutes at a time😡
The food was ok for a 5star hotel.

The food/buffet was very nice, very well managed by executive chef Manoj and his staff. They took great care of my kid who was being very picky. Housekeeping was great.
It would be great if they can provide accommodation and good restrooms to drivers. Our driver could not sleep and had to drive 90 Kim’s to his home to sleep.
5.0
Fantastic location and nested in native greenery. What I liked is quietness due to occupant to property size ratio. Vila was fabulous. Antique furniture and look with modern immunities. Gracious and welcoming staff all over the property.
4.0
Beautifully landscaped property with a pond in the center. Afternoon complimentary tea and snacks were nice. Naimeen Fish for Ala Carte dinner was very good, vegetarian option was too small and overpriced. Staff service was not bad but sometimes had to call twice to get things done.
- Didn’t expect lizards to be running around the room and bathrooms
- Problematic WiFi to some extend compensated by an Internet card
- Non-working kettle for boiling water
- No US-ready plug points for iPhones and laptops

It is a beautiful property, but kinda of outdated. Their evening program of music and dance is excellent. Their food and facilities are also very good. The staff was very helpful. They don’t serve free dinner, like other hotels nearby. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

The property is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, clean and well equipped. The hotel was crowded while we were there and at times it felt as if the staff were not ready to operate at capacity. The welcoming touches such as afternoon tea and nightly local cultural performances enhanced our enjoyment. We felt very relaxed and comfortable during our stay.

With only 28 rooms/stand-alone bungalows this is a 5-Star experience with unbelievable service in the backwaters of Kerala. We had a bungalow overlooking the large lake and it was luxurious- like a private house on a hotel property. Private pool, outdoor bathroom, shower and bathtub with an overhead fan was charming.
The grounds used to be owned by a family 6 generations back and the grounds are spread out over a narrow plot - plenty of bicycles available to shorten distances from room to breakfast/dinner.
Mix of Indian and western menus, quite enjoyable. Ayurvedic services were comprehensive and reasonably priced. We had the hotel book some off property activities and would recommend reconfirming what your getting with the actual provider once they.
Kottayam was worth the visit and gets you out of the property bubble to see how the locals live either in the water or on land.

Calm location, comfortable stay, and excellent service. Good attention to little things. The daily activities are somewhat repetitive but good nonetheless. The boat ride is a must. The chicken tandoori is bomb!

The resort is beautiful and a very calm place to get away from the hussle and bustle of the Indian cities. It was a lot of character with colonial features to the cottages and rooms. The resort is not new and things are a little tired but the nature and ambience enables you to look past this. The office manager is exceptional and looked us so well so we got the most out of our Taj experience. There is a lot to do at the hotel from cooking classes, local dancing and music, boat ride across the largest lake in India - all out on complimentary. The room is quite pricey in the restaurant compared to local prices but that’s normal for a 5 star hotel. I would definitely come again for a relaxing break.

The hotel is set in such an amazing location. The staff are so friendly and helpful. There is lots to do with the bird sanctuary just minutes away and going on the houseboats that stop at the hotels jetty. The backwaters are superb in this area. We also had fun on the hotel bikes and rowing on their lake. The bats that came around at dusk were massive!

So, this place was constructed around 1977 or so, and doesn't really seem to have gotten an update since then. That's generally OK for the main house: nice colonial architecture in the main hotel, however the whole thing needs a massive upgrades. Pretty grounds which are filled with swampy, mosquito-ridden pools. Decent restaurant, esp if you stick with the Indian food. If you are going to insist on chicken nuggets or a caesar salad, then you are on your own.
If you come here, you must do a boat tour. It makes a perfectly fine base for exploring the backwaters, but is honestly not a place I'd want to stay more than a night or so.
Plenty of animals (rabbits, flying foxes, geese, birds) to distract the children, if that's your thing.
