Really interesting spot, hard to get to, but not really part of the usual backwater Kerala region. Barely an island. You take a boat to get there, but the staff walk over a four-foot plank at one point on the island to get back onto the mainland. Very laid-back vibe, really dedicated to yoga and aruyvedic treatments, but not much... More

The location was fabulous. The rooms were large and very comfortable. The staff was exceptional; the manager set-up my houseboat trip. The restaurant had excellent cuisine [both Indian & western] and wonderful service. Cannot wait to go back! More

Soma Kerala Palace is an island on the large lake in Kerala. So you have to take the boat for about 30 minutes to reach! All the buildings are authenthic old Kerala buildings, which were diassembled and build up again there; this gives a lot of charm. The pool is great; the food is good. Only the size of the... More

Few things I will list here. Location is very good. A nice small island. Hotel looks are just the same as shown in pictures. Rooms are very small. Bathroom is the worst. Never seen such a small one. Water gets clogged and would not drain out. Dinner was average. Not bad. They served dinner at the lawns as per our... More

The idea of Soma Kerala palace is to experience the real heritage mansions and culture which were existed in the 18th century and also with the traditional medical science “Ayurveda”. People selecting such a preserved special place have to have more passion to these values. It is not for group with more than half of the members are children under... More

We were a group of 5 couples and 9 kids. The trip starts with a boat cruise from their parking lot (ample secured vehicle parking) in mainland.The view of the resort was breathtaking and from welcome to see off the service was excellent. The most pleasing factor was that we never felt we were in a hotel. The staff are... More

The place is quite; away from the hustle and bustle of the town. The rooms are clean and the people are friendly. Food is a concern as the options are limited and way over priced. Its an island resort so you cannot rush to the nearest restaurant for a quick bite. Your only option is the limited food served in... More

Rooms are simply furnished, clean and fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful. The ala carte food was excellent, We appreciated the staff recommendations. The buffet... More

I went to this place with my husband in September. I was worried if it wouldd be the same as shown on their website or another disappointing claim. To my surprise it was a visual treat. Everything was exactly the way depicted on their website. The rooms were extremely clean with traditional south style furnishing... We loved it. We were... More

My wife and I stayed 2 days at this island that felt a world away from civilization. In a populous India this was really quite amazing feeling. On our stay we were probably one of 4 couples and were given a suite even though we booked a double room. The accomodations were simple bungalow styled with lots of teak/mahogany stained... More
