I visited Gokulam Grand Kumarakom with my children earlier in April 2024 and want to make a specific mention of the delightful experience I had at this resort. Thanks to late arrival of the flight, we reached the resort around midnight and was given a warm welcome ***** with a hassle-free check in experience despite the late hour. We stayed at the Premium Lake View Villa and the room and bathroom was well appointed and spacious with a nice balcony that overlooks a lagoon coupled with a magnificent view of the Vembanad lake. The room was very well stocked and I noticed that the housekeeping staff serviced the room twice in a day which is a delighter. The property is beautifully landscaped and is fairly self sufficient with a game room, fitness center, spa and ayurvedic treatment facility, hammocks in the lawns and a cute little lagoon. The highlight, however, is the exceptionally warm staff and prompt service that makes you feel at home and taken care of, despite the hot and humid weather. (April is not exactly a great time to visit Kerala anyway!) We took the yoga class that is conducted each morning, played carrom and chess, went cycling and kayaking and even took the sunset cruise – all of which was organized by the resort. Additionally, we also took a couple of treatment sessions at the Spa and between the efficient staff and a warm ambience, it was definitely a rejenuvating experience. And so, if you are headed to Kumarakom for a relaxed vacation, I would definitely recommend Gokulam Grand and there is really no need to step out of the resort at all during your stay. Last but not the least, was the generous buffet spread at the restaurant both at breakfast and dinner which has something for everyone…north indian, south indian, continental and asian and all of it tastefully prepared and served! All in all, the 4 days that we spent at Gokulam Grand Kumarakom was a delightful experience. My heartfelt thanks to both the property and the extremely hospitable staff for making this a truly memorable vacation for me and my family.
