Location of this resport is fabulous. The design is excellent with individual cottages in a treehouse styple construct gives a unique stay experience. The hotel has a good restaurent offering a very good view of the lake and a sunset over the lake. One can have a backwater ride arranged from within the resort at a competitive price. The room...

A place you can enjoy nature but not food.Lake view cottages on the small canals has independent feelings.Cottage is soothing size wise but attached bathrooms need attention of govt authorities who run the complex.If you overlook the size and tiles of bathroom to enjoy the beauty of green resorts and back water lake and boating,its a heaven of Kerala away...

With a bird sanctuary next doors this is a quiet little resort with a nice feel. Cottages are decent sized either over small canals or next to the Vembanad lake. While the cleanliness of the rooms is fine, the bathrooms do need a good scrub. The pathways need a overhaul - there are big gaps between the stone walkways and... More

We travelled to Kumarakom recently and stayed at Waterscapes. The location of the hotel is the best thing - the greenery and the scaping of the cottages is very well done. The swimming pool needs a lot of maintenance. The food is disappointing. Being a Govn run hotel, we were expecting authentic food at the restaurant but were let down.... More

Located at Kumbarrakom at Vembadnad lake. It also has Bird Sanctuary inside. Superbly designed. Dining on a higher side but you don't have any other restaurant in the vicinity. Go for Lake View rooms for superior view. Canal view rooms also nicely designed. Slightly lacks in room service & lack of adequate lights at night.Overall nice view of lake &... More

Stayed in Waterscapes. Was coming from the houseboat. Great cabin on stilts, mouthwatering food and to top it all the chef asking you at dinner at what you wanted for breakfast the next day. Didnt expect such treatment from a government run hotel. Loved the place, would recommend it to all honeymooners. very idyllic setting More

KTDC Waterscapes is located on the shores of Lake Vembanad located close to the Kumarakom bird sanctuary. The location of the backwater resort is picturesque & close to nature. The resort is well laid out; a long road from the main entrance gate takes you to the reception area & then the long array of cottages which are spread across... More

Entrance of KTDC, itself is good.... Long road... Green trees on both sides welcomes you. :) We stayed here for one day. Ours was canal view room. As like other canal-view rooms, ours was not at any corner. But it was just behind lake view rooms, in the center. Nice place... Different resort. Here greenery is natural. Not like well... More

The architecture of Waterscapes is such that no matter where you are and no matter what you do, you are in a close encounter with Nature, made safe by KTDC. It was only after we left that we realised that while we were there, our worries were not with us. The cottages are comfortable, clean and well-equipped, including phones and... More

Accommodation here is in rustic cabins which are not all that comfortable. Very dark and pretty basic. The whole place has a damp feeling of mildew. The adjoining bird sanctuary is a bit of a joke as we saw more birds from the waterfront restaurant window than in the sanctuary. Food in the restaurant was just passable. Overall, I wouldn't...
