Not at all a resort experience
The experience was not at all resort like. It felt like a basic hotel and the service was average. The food took forever and tasted not good at all, wonder why it took 45+ minutes to prepare. The staff was extremely nice but the property in general was below average. There was not much to do at the resort and the spa didn’t have much options either.

This could be a top notch tourist spot bcoz of its proximity to the Vembanad lake. The property is due for renovation immediately so I am happy. The wifi access was bad. Food was average. Wooden flooring is damaged in many places. Staff r friendly but need to be more proactive. The only saving grace of the place is its serene view.Rooms were sufficiently lit & cool. But towards dawn, we were disturbed by some animal running on the ceiling. Weird noises

It's all about the location.
Great view from the lovely infinity pool of the lake. Delicious food but restaurant lacked any ambience. Rooms rather tired; hotel needs a makeover. Hotel staff were friendly in the restaurant and the young man who collected and delivered the luggage was attentive. Shame about the staff in the reception. They could all do with some customer service training, particularly the manager.

Perfect
This hotel really is dreamy, the sat are incredibly helpful and the location is ideal.. we personally weren’t sure about staying overnight on a houseboat so this was the perfect conclusion.. a lovely hotel right on the backwaters.. the restaurant could be updated but still the food was lovely and the staff were really nice.. we both had massages which realistically weren’t the best we ever had as were in a very strange damp smelling room but still, it was an experience.. the room was amazing. Upgraded on arrival to a poolside room.. honestly all in all I’d highly recommend staying here.. I wish we’d stayed a day or two longer!

Best Location in Alleppy!
This property is in the best possible location right next to the lake. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food can certainly be improved upon especially regional & western dishes. The pool is amazing but the chlorine levels should be reduced.

Mid-range resort in Alleppey, look for better ones
An average resort in Alleppy. The resort condition is "average". It is located in an "out of bounds" place (although directly on the lake) making access difficult. The Activity Center is really basic (not much to do and keep you occupied). The pool is good, although not sufficient to hold your attention for long. The food is good. The lunch/dinner buffet at the restaurant were good and priced affordably. The resort presents itself as a "luxury" resort, and charges accordingly. Unfortunately, it is a "mid range" resort at best, definitely not a "luxury" one.

Great location
Located on the banks of lake vembanad, this hotel has great views. The building itself is also very beautiful and our room was comfortable and clean. The only downside is that the facilities are a little old and parts of the hotel seem a little run down.b

Promise Not Delivered.
Our experience fell way short of our expectation. The resort is poorly managed, too many staff but all poorly trained. So, when you arrive, you have three to four helpers in your room doing nothing but expecting to be tipped. The front desk staff are poor communicators. The term resort is a misnomer, with very little on offer in line with a resort. The whole building is in need of extensive repair. Do not get taken in by the photos on the travel site. The surrounding environment is poorly maintained, with a nearby abandoned pool full of scum and mosquitoes. There are no lawns with proper grass cover. The only two big plus for Lemon Tree include a fantastic location, and a very good and enthusiastic cook, Selva. The pool is like an infinity pool, ending nearly on the edge of Vembanad lake, but here again, staff are poorly trained and the whole pool area is poorly designed. Hotel guests wearing all kinds of dresses except appropriate swimming costumes were in the pool. The main staircase railings are creaking and loose, so, it is safe not to hold on to them. It is better to charge guests more but provide a well-managed resort, but for the price we were charged, it was a big disappointment.

Peaceful and enjoyable trip!
We stayed for 2 nights in Dec and mostly enjoyed our stay. The best part about the hotel is that its right on the lake and most rooms have views facing the lake. We stayed on the ground floor which had a porch overlooking the lake, where you could sit peacefully and watch the shikara's passing by. There's a beautiful pool which we did not use but it was in the open and had an effect that it was merged into the lake. There is a lot of open spaces/lawns to roam around in and also a kid's play area near the reception. The rooms were well equipped with all the necessary equipment. The staff, especially at the reception were very efficient and would always be ready to help and answer any question, also would arrange transport at a couple of hours notice. There is only one restaurant in the hotel, which serves multi cuisine dishes, but the hotel is in need for more eateries, especially because it is a resort and is a while away from most tourist places. Places of interest around the hotel are 2 beaches- Morari and Alleppey, the latter one more crowded. Shikara's and Houseboat day trips can also arranged from the reception and are really worth it... the scenery is beautiful and green and very peaceful you get to see lovely flora and fauna on the way.

Amazing view but housekeeping was on vacation too.
We had a junior suite next to the pool, overlooking the lake. The view was beautiful and the size of the room more than accommodated us. The restaurant was delicious, although slow if you order off the menu. The buffet was nice so a good option if you eat at 7pm or later. I have kids so that wasn't the best option for us. My big issue was the horrible housekeeping. When we arrived the first thing I did was pick up all the dead bugs. I realize we are next to a lake but I shouldn't be welcomed by an insect zombie crew. We were here two nights and housekeeping NEVER showed up. Our room was never cleaned. They called us once at 8pm to see if we needed anything. I should have said toilet paper. The shower was a high tech space module that we never figured out. The water coming out of it did smell bad half the time. This hotel does have some high points and our stay was nice overall but this is NOT a four star hotel.

Magnificent location !
If you like huge, calm lakes...if you want to switch off...this is the place for you! The food is excellent , service a tad slow (because food is always cooked against orders) and the front office staff we're simply wonderful. The food is very pricey and guests have no choice of outside food, given the location . It is surprising that for a resort, they have no bar license.

Not good
Good things first, the view from the hotel was great since it faces the lake. So, the sun-rise and sun-set were beautiful. We didn't like the hotel for multiple reasons. The hotel was in the middle of residential area through a narrow road from the main road. So, it doesn't feel like a tourist place. The directions for the hotel, from banners on the main road, were helpful though. When we reached the hotel gate, we were not sure if this was the right one - the security guard was inside and the gates were closed! The hotel looked like a hostel. The furniture in the hotel room was old. We saw 10 year old old bulky CRT TV. The water boiler was almost damaged and was not working properly. We saw some rooms used as a store rooms and were visible from our window. For the price we paid, it was certainly not a luxury resort. Maybe at half-price, it would look alright. We had great opinion about Lemon tree as a brand but we were unhappy. Finally, a note on hotels.com reservation, they didn't include Breakfast as complementary along with this booking while it was always included for other bookings. I would request them to make it very clear during reservation process and in the reservation confirmation that breakfast is not included. Otherwise, it causes unpleasant surprise like in this case. I called hotels.com service but they couldn't help. However, we enjoyed breakfast at Travancore Palace.
