Punnamada Resort

Location

The food needs to be improved. Breakfast menu never changes

Location by the water, cottage style living

Facility was bit run down.

Absolutely beautiful location and super friendly smiling staff. The pool was almost always quiet with just a few families with kids at the weekend. Restaurant food was delicious and the buffet breakfast was superb. We loved the sunset boat with snacks organised by Hotel, and one evening we also arranged for a sunset boat from town to drop us off at the property. The garden view room very spacious, although it was a shame our room didn’t have a fridge.

Access to the resort was down a very bumpy tiny road, but of course this did make it more secluded and quiet.

The staff were amazing. So friendly and welcoming. The backwater tour as part of the stay was great. The gardens and pool were kept well. Food was good.

I wouldn't consider this accommodation as a resort. No alcohol at the resort even though it was advertised on the website. So forget cocktails by the pool or a glass of wine with your meal. Everything was tired and worn. The resort needs a refresh with paint and to replace all the old broken things. The pool chairs were split, the tennis court nets - destroyed. The towels were old. The bathrobes were brown with stains and had obviously shrunk in the wash and unwearable. Bedsheets were yellow/brown. The room was not serviced. You were not provided with bottled water, you had to trust the water in the container was filtered, that can be scary in India.
