The resort will provide you with the most ideal settings for Ayurveda, and the restaurant here, will present you with the best in Central Kerala cuisines. And for those interested in outdoor activities, the self maintained vegetable farm and the neighboring villages are added attractions. A 12-acre coconut tree filled land criss-crossed by narrow canals surrounds the property. During the daytime you could spent time in the vegetable farm, and walk by the village track in the evenings watching the children chasing hens to their enclosures, the fishermen hurrying to their nocturnal business of fishing. Or feeling the breeze. Rather simply put. The visit to Kerala will always be incomplete without a backwater cruise on a houseboat converted from kettuvallam - the traditional rice barge. The resort has facilities to give you the most unforgettable backwater trip of your life.

My first trip in a house boat started from kumarakom at around 12 in the noon. There was a short stop for lunch inside the boat,after which the boat slowly moved into the backwaters.we were 8 of us travelling. The boat had a upper deck and an air conditioned lower deck with TV , though we dint watch. 3 rooms, all air conditioned with attached bathrooms and a separate kitchen.A helper, driver and a cook to cater us .
For 5 hours we travelled on the backwaters and then the boat was docked at aleppey. Inbetween they stopped at a fish stall on the river banks where we purchased river shrimps, pearl spotted fish and river crab. Price was expensive when compared to the market price. I suggest buying everything from the market before getting into the boat, though they provide a flexible set full board menu ,know prior to boarding, the menu inside that they provide,so that alterations can be made. Our chef jibu was real good and he made the trip memorable with all his Kerala cuisines.
After docking we took a small walk at the banks and then back. In April and May it's hot better to visit in late May to December. Mosquito repellants were provided in the boat, but there was no necessity once we were inside the room.In the morning the boat started at 8 and reached kumarakom by 9 am. It was a memorable experience with great food, lot of chattering , good company amidst nature in gods own country.we travelled through tatvamashi house boats and the experience and hospitality were good.

We had booked this Resort via makemytrip.com. And the resort is not at all recommendable. If all the resorts are full then also one should not book this resort. Few good things :
1) food taste was good, but it was very very costly(one fulka with butter - 60 Rs). Problems suffered
2) scenery was good
Bad Things :
1) Water was very very salty
2) Water was coming very slowly out of tap
3) Bath Shower was not working properly
4) Before handing over the bathroom to us, they didn't even cleaned that
5) No swimming pool
6) Only few tv channels were available.
In all the resort is not at all maintained, and everything is so dirty and no amenities to enjoy. Not writing much as running short of time.
Resort is not at all recommended...

Kumarakom Lagoon is surrounded by back water .only way to reach Kumarakom Lagoon is by boat . this is a huge property but not well maintained . Foods are fresh , yummy but very expensive . There is no swimming pool. Best place for picnic . Frequency of the boat is also very less. One should avoid during rainy season

We had to book this place because it was last minute plan to take this trip and this was the only place available on MMT. Average food,no massage centers in the resort ( which was a let down), clean neat rooms with minimal facilities for the price they charge. But it's located nice peaceful isolated island. I would say it's not worth the money they charge for the amenities available. A good place to book if you aren't left with much options!hmpf!
