Palmy Lake Resort offers a selection of lovely secluded chalets, each with its own hammock and looking out onto lovely green trees. After spending one night on a houseboat (which was amazing!) we were delighted to find that the Resort was just down the road from the drop-off point and was close enough to the town of Alappuzha to get...

We stayed for two nights and had really relaxing time lounging in the hammock near our bamboo chalet which was basic but really clean and just what we wanted. Breakfast was good and macy even showed me how to make fresh putu. Biggi arranged a really nice house boat for us. Even though it is a bit out of town... More

When i think of our stay here, i remember some positives and not so positives. It is basic, but tranquil. We enjoyed the walks in the neighbourhood. We enjoyed the dinner specially prepared by the hostess, although we had to be persistent in persuading her to make it for us (at a cost, of course... and despite the website hyping... More

We booked in for one night but came back for another two after our houseboat. Spacious, clean, comfortable chalets for under 1000 rupees at night! Mercy is really helpful and her husband Biggy arranged a houseboat for us. It is a bit out of town but this means it is quieter and there are always tuk tuks outside and you... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it a lovely peaceful place in which to rest after a hectic time travelling around. The rooms are basic but clean, with mosquito nets for protection. |The gardens are beautiful, hammocks are slung between palm trees. The owners are friendly and helpful - Merci will cook simple meals if requested. We hired... More

The resort is away from the noisy center of Alleppey. A wonderful garden with cottages which are very basic but clean and comfortable (and CHEAP...Rs.950). The owners (especially the wife, I don't recall her name) are extremely helpful and will make your stay so plesant you will not feel like leaving (upon my arrival I was asked if I wanted... More

I booked a few nights stay at Palmy Lake Resort for my stay in Alappuzha on line after reading the many positive reviews. I have stayed at many budget hotels and B&Bs and found this one was tired, worn and ready for a facelift. It nestles down an unremarkable and badly posted driveway with no views of any water....which is... More

I stayed here in late November 2011 and found it very relaxing, comfortable and easy. The room was comfortable, the cottage is spacious and everything is clean. It was in a good location, not too far from town, and very peaceful and quiet. It was also exceptionally affordable! Mercy, the proprieter, is very nice and makes a great breakfast -... More

We stayed here for two nights. The cottage was really nice, spacious and with good mosquito netting on the windows. We had our own little verandah looking out onto the garden, a great place to sit and watch the fireflies at night. They also brought round mosquito coils in the evenings which we appreciated. The service could have been a... More
