When General Manager came to know that it was our anniversary, I got a call from the GM and he offered me an upgrade to Villa which was very nice of the management. Though I stayed there for one night I wished I had more time to spend at this excellent property. My deep gratitude to the management for the... More

Stayed for 4nights at the Taj Vivanta. Room was very comfortable and the environs tranquil and very much reflected the natural environment of Kumarakom. Service was excellent by all staff. We tended not to go out too much and possibly because of that, a 3 night stay would have been more appropriate. Kids had sufficient activities to keep them occupied... More

My review is going to be a mixed bag. After having read all the other gushing reviews of this property, I would not give the same gushing review. After having paid the stiff rates, I expect better value for my money and the resort needs to earn its 5 star billing. We love staying at any Taj property. Kumarakom is... More

Despite a slight hiccup on arrival when it appeared we were not expected, nothing could fault our 4 night package at this beautiful resort. Every attention to detail is given to the spotless and luxurious accommodation set out on various islands between the Bakers' Bungalow and lagoon and Vembanad Lake. Furniture, ornaments, accessories, spacious outside bathroom and a glorious plunge... More
