It was an ever memorable experience for our 18 families. Excellent support from the manager side and amazing cooperation from the front office and also from the kitchen in charge. The area was well maintained. We utilized their volleyball court, swimming-pool, pedal boats, indoor game room and also the banquet hall. Rooms were spacious. I don't have any negative findings....

Approach to the property is through residential area but once you are inside the hotel its a great please to stay. Rooms are spread out at the property facing the backwaters. You can enjoy lying down on Hammock, a few of them tied to trees, a Tree House where a couple can spend time gazing into the backwaters. There are... More

Away from Alleppey town on the banks of the legendary backwaters. Food is good. Nice pool. rooms are spacious and clean including the bathrooms. The new management is still working on refurbishment. AC is not that effective. The mattress is too good. The resort is definitely value for money.

Even though it was hot summer, a warm gesture of all staff at the resort and the whole architectural ambience especially a boating in the canal flowing through resort and vast view of back water relaxes ur mind n makes u feel cool. It was one of kind of experience just like an your own farm house property.
