Charming colonial hotel

Pros: The decor, location, food and facilities
Cons: Cocktail menu and more choice at the pool bar
Location: Location is right on Lake Vembanad. Perfect sunsets over the lake and paradise for bird watchers.
Great facilities, location and staff. We were upgraded to a deluxe room which was beautiful and spacious. Highly recommend going on a house boat trip.

Perfect

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The setting was perfect especially as we were upgraded from a pool view room to a lagoon view cottage. The staff have the balance absolutely perfect with being on hand to help but not being in the way. Would definitely return here if we came back to Kerala.

Hôtel merveilleux et reposant

Nous avons eu l'occasion de tester 2 villas Héritage, toutes deux superbes, élégamment décorées et avec une salle de bains extérieure qui permet de prendre sa douche en plein air. Endroit trèscalme et reposant pour qui veut goûter au silence en Inde (c'est rare). Personnel très à l'écoute et prévenant. Tous les soirs, balade gratuite en bateau sur le lac pour tous suivie d'un apéritif très sympathique devant le soleil couchant. Vélos gratuits à disposition des clients, qui permettent d'aller explorer les environs bien agréables. La terrasse autour de la piscine gagnerait à être rénovée.
