Rhythm Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Rhythm Kumarakom

"We had a nice stay at rhythm during this summer holidays. We booked a lake view terrace room for two nights. Lake view from the resort was impressive especially in the evening. They also arranged a complementary boat trips in the evening and the one hour lake travel was amazing. As we had to move very early on the check out day to board train, we were likely to miss the complementary breakfast,but they compensated that by arranging a dinner during the stay. The support and attentiveness of Darshan was worth mentioning in making the stay comfortable."

Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa, Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

"Apart from the scenery, world class food, exceptional accommodation and beautiful ambience, the part that made the biggest difference were the staff members. Each and everyone one stopped to say “hello have a great day” and treated us like premium guests. Gokulam is God’s gift to Kerala and must go for anyone looking for a break from monotony and homely service. 10/10"

Cocobay Resort Kumarakom Hotels in Kottayam

Cocobay Resort Kumarakom

"We stayed here for three nights on our four week tour of Southern India. The property is beautiful, very well maintained and picture perfect. Special thanks to Raymond and team for ensuring the stay is pleasant. In-house restaurant serves excellent food. The soups and fish curry rice. They also arrange cabs for nearby sightseeing at a reasonable price. The location, the rooms, the lush green lawn and the colorful flowers will take you back in time. The hospitality was just top notch. We felt very safe during our stay. Ayurvadic Kerala massage was very relaxing and + kudos to the therapist. I am glad I stayed at Cocobay with such warm hospitality and that I was able to add my name to the amazing list of guests this Hotel has seen. Thank you for providing me with this experience! Definitely recommend this place for a relaxed holiday and will be our first choice in the future visits."

Niraamaya Wellness Retreats Backwaters and Beyond Kumarakom

"Had a wonderful relaxing stay at Niraamaya. We were fortunate enough to have a 90min massage every day. Ajesh And Swathi were experts in their fields, the shirodhara being my favourite. A revelation! But what made the trip was the yoga. Athul is a brilliant yoga instructor and I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. I sincerely hope we will still be friends in decades to come and I'll continue to learn from him for the rest of my life . The food was always fresh and very tasty with plenty of choice. Liben and Prasoona spoilt us and couldn't do enough to accommodate us. Thank you. The wildlife is a joy to behold. A five star experience. Thank you"

Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa Kerala Hotels in Kottayam

Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa Kerala

"A Five-Star Retreat at Taj Kumarakom ​Rating: ★★★★★ ​Our stay at the Taj Kumarakom Resort & Spa on April 1st was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property sits in the best location in the area, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere that perfectly captures the beauty of the backwaters specially the sunset location. ​What truly made our visit memorable, however, was the incredible hospitality. A special shout-out to Ajay and Alfina, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They are both remarkably polite and jovial, bringing a warm energy to the resort that is hard to find. Their professionalism and friendly nature are a testament to the great staff at this property. ​If you are looking for a perfect blend of luxury and genuine service, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!"

Backwater Ripples Kumarakom ★★★★★
"It is very clean, has a beautiful garden, a pool with nice few of the lake and also the food was really great. Sindhu (the experience manager) took a lot of time taking care of us. She helped me with my skin problems by finding some good herbs, took lots of pictures of us, showed us the garden and gave us some fresh mangos straight from the tree. Also the reception was very friendly and helpful - they brought us some fresh coconut, answered all of our questions and also brought some breakfast to the room. An ayurvedic doctor gave us a lot of insight and we had a great masage, worth the money (around 25€ for 1 hour). There are events included, such as a boat trip with the sunset, guided walks, afternoon tea and snacks, and a lot more. All together it was a great experience."

Holiday Vagamon ★★★
"Overall it was a good stay at holiday vagamon. The property area was beautiful, laden with tea plantations. Our 2 nights stay was in a deluxe room and the room was just enough for a small family of 3 which included our little one. Accessibility to the property was excellent, which by the way was on the pulikkanam - elappara road and not too far away from vagamon town and many of the important tourist destinations. The restaurant staff was courteous and the food, we felt, was really good. Room service was good and we got our bed coffees, without us asking, by 7:15 - 7:20 am daily. What could have improved - the reception staff was a bit apprehensive and we felt that they were new to the property or did not have enough knowledge of what/where/when of vagamon. The restaurant seems to be small and got easily crowded during our stay since it was a peak season and all the rooms were full. We also felt that the restaurant was understaffed with the property manager (criss jacob) having to run around to get the customer service done properly. We felt he could have had some help. Other thing we noticed was that the room main door lock needed maintenance and most of the initial locks on the doors have been replaced with additional ones, since the original ones did not work. We also had to call up the reception 3 times during our stay when the water got over in the bathrooms and after calling them up, they switched on the motors. For a property such as this, one could expect not having to call up the reception to get the motors running to fill up the water."
