We had a great trip to this resort. Fun stuff to do and the food was excellent . On the last day we had requested and got a late checkout for one of the rooms which belonged to our friend. We asked the bellboy to transfer our luggage to our friend's room. My daughter forgot her fancy Samsung phone in... More

We stayed at the floating cottages. So you have a verandah that looks over the ashtamudi backwaters. For kilometers there is nothing but water. The sunrise and sunset can be easily enjoyed from the verandah. The hotel is quietly tucked away in a remote place away from the hustle bustle of main kollam. Very tranquil are the surroundings. The food... More

It was our first honeymoon trip. We took a taxi from an Airport and we were waiting to see how was the resort. When we just reached the place, it was mind blowing. It was a large area with greenery, back water, floating cottages, swimming pool. To be more specific, the place itself was like a Island with backwaters within... More

We visited the place with our family for a family vacation with kids and the first glimpse of the resort was breathtaking. Nestled amongst verdant green with meandering walkway along the back waters, you actually felt you were walking on water. We took 2 floating cottages with our family and the view from the sit out overlooking the backwater and... More

We stayed here just for 1 night... The room & resort is very good... We stayed in the floating cottage and found it beautiful... It’s entirely wooden but clean and well maintained. It’s worth the extra debit of days the Club Mahindra guys charge for floating cottages... Though, I didn’t see their normal rooms, I believe it would not make... More

Took a flight to Trivandrum airport, then by taxi to the railway station (Rs 350 for the 30 minute drive) followed by a train to Kollam station. From Kollam railway station the resort is about a 30 minute drive,(the pre booked taxi cost Rs 400). The resort is upto Club Mahindra standards, the floating cottages are the ones to go... More

We reached here after a long drive from Poovar,but the place is very quite & relaxing which is exactly what we wanted. We stayed in a room in one of the land cottages which was very small,would definitely recommend the floating cottages which have fantastic views & are more spacious. The hotel is situated in the interiors of Kollam towards... More

Reached here after a dreadful drive but this is just the place one would want to be at the end of it. I would not expect anything less from Club Mahindra. I stayed in a room on the land and it was great. The views fantastic, floating restaurant very nice and the orchids on the coconut trees a very nice... More
