It was a good experience over all, best experience was going on speed boat and island trek. Food was ok, but I would recommend to try out local food.

It was our first time in Kerela and we cannot recommend it enough. The Backwaters was booked at the last minute once we had arrived in India and the whole experience of booking online was trouble free. The Backwaters resort is a very peaceful place. The staff are friendly and eager to ensure your needs are met. The food was wonderful though please note the resort is a 'dry' place so bring your own tipple! We had Ayurvedic treatments and the staff who run the center are great. We had very relaxing massages & learnt yoga which we are still practicing. We also went on a 3 hour boat ride in the backwaters which was made even more memorable by the boatman taking us to his home when we enquired about buying some green coconuts! This place is ideal if you want to spend a few days lounging by the pool & relaxing reading, watching the lake & its wildlife and the sunset.

the room is pretty spacious, the lightings are soothing, the ayurvedic massage was very rejuvenating, the swimming pool is very big, clean and well maintained. We took a villa private pool which was also pretty big for just two of us, the hotel management was always at our service and they cater to your needs immediately. food was not great, but it is the best available in kerala. We also had access to the gym, table tennis, badminton, boating.

Overall a great place to relax for a week. We booked it in last minute, still got a very descent cottage in reasonable price. Had a very comfortable 3 days stay, very nice layout of the whole resort with a fantastic pool which the children loved, had 2-3 hrs of boat trip to backwaters, the food was average with limited variety and also had the new year's eve party with social drinks and food. Certainly will recommend for a short break.

The hotel is a very nice property, neat and clean rooms. Located at backwaters... The staff was very promt and helpful. All in all a great place to stay. Things which I didnt like were food... The food was ok but very very costly. They can improve on that. Also the Hotel is about 20 kms away from the main city so you need to have your own transport arrangements.
