Sterling Lake Palace Alleppey

8/10 Good

"This hotel is perfectly functional with a very pretty view of the lake. It is not as clean as others but the staff are very friendly. We took a free evening cruise on the lake which is provided by the hotel, get on there quick to grab a seat as it is very busy. The food from the lunch à la carte was lovely but took almost an hour to arrive - huge portions! One main will serve two people! Prawn biryani was a highlight. The doa is nice and reasonable, good massages. You only need a night here. We stayed as a stopgap to get our Aleppey houseboat the next day which was fine. Breakfast is lovely, beautiful fresh dosas!!! Note: the location on Google Maps often shows up wrong, make sure your driver knows where they are going."

Taj Kumarakom Resort & Spa, Kerala

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Taj, from the hospitality and warmth of all the staff members to the individual attention to each group of guests, we experienced a very beautiful time there. I have stayed at the Oberoi and at Leela Palace, but the warmth and genuine care from the staff at the Taj, Komarakom was unparallelled. We were there to celebrate my mothers 75th bday, my sister, my mom and me, and the team at the Taj made it very memorable for us. We could also see similar hospitality towards all guests, and this contributed to a very relaxed and happy energy to the place, where most guests slowed down, reached out and connected with each other, found some common threads of connection, and exchanged life stories, making it even more memorable overall. Thank you team Taj, right from Mr Shain who communicated and arranged for a comfortable check in on the day of our arrival to Mr Khan and his team who checked in with us and made sure we were happy with the food and other services. A truly magical few days and memories for our lifetime. I hope to return with my husband soon."

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Kochi

8/10 Good

"The property is located in a serene village with lake view. Nice covered walkways to the rooms and cottages. Lobby is nice, bit away from the rooms. Nicely landscaped surroundings. Good food options available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff was courteous. My originally given room had some moldy smell and they exchanged it. Rooms are clean with nice bathrooms, AC and comfortable bed. Limited chargeable snack items and beverages were stocked. Has spa and activities room which I didn't use. There is a nice pool with amenities. Good property. Cons: Property has got maintenance going on. There was no advice regarding the noise. Sleep was disturbed due to intermittent banging sound from upstairs. Management should have taken care of this. The village is not having any nearby walkable shops or other public amenities. So transportation can be slightly difficult to get to attractions in the city side."
