Lovely resort stay for a few nights at the end of our travels around Kerala. Beautiful location and lovely staff. The highlight was the food, the best hotel food we had by a long way and I would visit for outside if you want tasty local flavours. Chef Jomon is excellent - we took a cooking with Chef and have great recipes to take home with us.

Located inside forest. Extremely difficult to reach, I was given saffron cottage, but it was average for view. Staff were courteous. Food was good. One should book only if interested to stay between woods.

I throughly enjoyed my stay in Niraamaya Kumarakom. Rooms were neat and comfortable. Breakfast had good variety from regular fruits, juices, toast , omelettes, idli, dosas to puttu-kadla curry etc. Pineapple was the most juiciest and sweetest. They even baked a cake for us to celebrate a birthday. They arranged a number of activities to keep us busy… yoga in the mornings and cultural program in the evening. Hi Tea was followed by duck feeding and fish feeding. Sometimes there were kite flying and tree plantation also. Massage in the spa section was refreshing and therapeutic. Staff was polite and ever helpful. On the negative side some staff were not able to communicate in English nor in Hindi. Also we faced some initial hiccups while making reservations which was sorted out. All in all I would highly recommend Niraamaya. …

The folks running the resort were not just super friendly but always ready to help out whenever needed. Big shoutout to Chef Aman who whipped up an amazing dinner for my wife's big birthday bash at a moment's notice. Alongside Sous Chef Jomo, they were so attentive and the whole crew was top-notch when it came to service. Honestly, our stay was nothing short of fantastic thanks to them. If you're after a calm and laid-back vacation, Niraamaya in Kumarakom is where it's at. Just soaking in the peace, surrounded by beautiful bird sounds and catching those stunning sunsets was pure bliss. I've heard they've got another place near Athirappilly Waterfalls, and my wife and I are seriously looking forward to checking that out on our next Kerala trip. Great job, Niraamaya!

Niraamaya is a beautiful resort on the banks of a stunning lake (perfect at sunset!). We only stayed for 2 nights as we usually prefer city breaks but could have happily stayed much longer. All of the staff we met were fantastically kind, caring and outgoing. We were greeted with some cold lemon tea and the check in process was the most confortable and efficient of our whole trip (we stayed in 6 different hotels). During our stay we dined in the restaurant 4 times, mostly eating Keralan food but sampling a few dishes from further affield too. I'm not sure I can pick a favourite dish but we tried the dal makhani, seafood platter, lobster, a local prawn curry, a beef salad, various breads and a few others - all delicious. The chefs were always out checking on the food, we met chef Jomon several times and he was great. We also took part in a cooking class with chef Jomon. He was flexible with what we wanted to make but we simply asked for local cuisine and he led us through some great dishes. It was more of a demonstration than a class with lots of participation but fascinating for us, very enjoyable and informative. Jomon was patient with us as we were running late and made us feel comfortable and welcome, he was open to answering all of our questions and really made the whole experience a great one. We sampled the dishes we had made after the class and they were then made fresh for us at dinner. We also booked ourselves in for a massage each. This was an exceptional experience. I was annoyed/nervous as the signature massages were unavailable and we had to choose from the ayurveda massage list which didn't sound as appealing to me. How wrong was I!? My 60 minute massage ended up lasting about 80 minutes and it was perfect, the masseuse checked that I was happy with the firmness and made sure I was comfortable throughout. My wife reported the same from hers. The experience was finished with a joint steam room. Licensed premises are very limited in Kerala so we were restricted to drinking alcohol in our room. This was a bit of a shame but in the end didn't really detract from what was an unforgettable stay. Thank you everybody at Niraamaya!…

Dear Niraamya Team, I hope this message finds you in great spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful time we had at Niraamya. Your team's commitment to hospitality left an indelible impression on us. The food and service were nothing short of extraordinary, and it was evident that every detail was attended to with care. Shibeesh, Anju, Piyush Sunila, Anjana, Liyanta and another delightful team member whose name escapes me momentarily, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their genuine care and hospitality were truly remarkable and will be etched in our memories. Thank you for creating an atmosphere of warmth and excellence. Our time at Niraamya was made even more special by your team's dedication, and we look forward to returning to relish the same exceptional hospitality. Wishing you continued success and looking forward to our next visit. Thank You…

We stayed at Niraamaya, Kumarakom resort last week and we would like to express our deep appreciation to all the staff. Special mention to Ms. Poonam Tipnis (Vice President) and Mr. Shibeesh (Operations Manager) for ensuring our pleasant stay from check-in to check-out, Mr. Piyush and Ms. Anju at the Front office for a very comfortable check-in and check-out process, Mr.Sajeesh (Head of house keeping) who ensured our room was very well kept during our stay, Chef Jomon for making delicious varieties of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also, they had arranged a surprise candlelight dinner next to the swimming pool. First time, we have seen in a resort an entire building/block dedicated for spa and wellness. Dr. Vinija at the spa is very knowledgeable and the therapists (both male and female) are really superb. We had one of the best spa experience. The therapy room, steam room and wash room are extremely well maintained. The resort faces the backwaters and has a beautiful view. It's very well maintained and the ambiance around the resort is excellent. The seating arrangements are very nicely done to sit and relax and just enjoy the picturesque backwaters and sunset. It's very close to the houseboat boarding point. We had a splendid time and this resort is highly recommended for family vacation.…
