Kumarakom

The resort is located on the banks of the Vembanad Lake in natural backwater surroundings only 16 kms from Kottayam. This hotel is located at Kumarakom, the most exotic resort destination in Kerala.

It is just a 1-hour speed boat journey or 90 minutes by road from Cochin. Cochin International Airport is 70 kms away, and the hotel is also easily accessible from Trivandrum International Airport.

The hotel offers spacious air-conditioned cottages with an ethnic ambiance and modern facilities.

Rejuvenating

Blessed with an enviably serene location, this property offers a tranquil retreat away from the clamour of everyday life. The rooms are well-appointed, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. What truly elevates the experience, however, is the exceptionally courteous and attentive staff, whose hospitality leaves a lasting impression. An excellent stay that delivers remarkable value for money.

Peaceful Stay

Beautiful lake view resort with clean rooms, friendly staff, and a peaceful atmosphere. The view was stunning, especially at sunrise. Great place to relax and unwind—highly recommended.

TripAdvisor Review
Don't go anywhere near this place... grubby and dangerous

This hotel was an absolute disgrace. I wish I had done more research before as checking websites on our return it is not just us saying this recently. The hotel was scruff, badly (dangerously??) maintained. Our room was nothing like pictured. The "garden" contained an ancient noisy aircon unit that kept breaking down and I was told I had to reset the tripped fuse switch if it did go off, which I had to do in the middle of the night twice. In the end it broke down completely and we had to move rooms! The "outdoor" bathrooms are now completely enclosed to stop the flies but with no ventilation and a tin roof they were hot boxes... 45* plus... very uncomfortable. The reception area overlooked dirty, smell green ponds and the "fountains" were no better... a danger to health. I am enclosing a number of photos that I hope speak for themselves... filthy entrance to the rooms with old medication packets on the floor, dangerous paths, live wires on paths and pool chemical all over the pace, filthy unhygienic pool beds and bird poo all over the place.... horrendous, one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Our local driver did say he was surprised our tour organisers had put us in an Abad Hotel. Apparently they are known locally to be terrible and are known by locals as "A-Bad Hotels"! Tells you all you need to know
