“Beautiful resort and excellent food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Awesome resort to enjoy the beauty of kerala. Views from the rooms are incredible. Food at the restaurant is excellent with a wide range of dishes. This resort turned out to be one of the most wonderful hotels I've ever stayed at.

Although a member since the past 11 years, this was the first trip to a south property of the famed Mahindra properties., Ashtamudhi, Having checked on Trip advisor, with fantastic memories of Binsar and Mashoobra, forced us to be biased and hence took most of the negative reviews of trip advisor with a pinch of salt.

Recently visited the retreat Ashtamudi. It was a wonderful experience. The rooms and the service are excellent. From there Neendakara is nearby, visited the fishing harbor also, saw a variety of fishes. It is quite peaceful at the resort, away from all the noises of the city. A wonderful experience.

The hotel is built in a line on the side of the lake serviced by 1 path. There is no shop or place to buy alcohol on site, you have to get a taxi into the nearest small village.

“Exotic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2013

Recently visited Backwater retreat, Ashtamudi and liked the beautiful view of the lake from the banks. Though the summer rains only added fuel to the scorching heat, the stay was peaceful. It was the nesting season of birds and found the nests of ‘near threatened’ Oriental Darters with chicks peeping from inside while doing the cruise boat ride.

“Calm and Peaceful”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

The resort in itself is good. However, because of the location, you have to rely completely on the resort arrangements to go out anywhere - even to buy petty stuff. There are no stores around the resort. Very limited food options, if you want to eat something in the non-restaurant hours, there are only 2-3 items to choose from. Service... More
