I recently stayed at the Gokulam Grand Resort from July 1st to July 2nd, 2024, and it was an incredible experience! The resort was booked by my friend. The value for the money spent is well worth it. The resort is impeccably maintained and the room ambiance, especially the lighting, is so inviting that you might not want to leave your room.
The resort offers a variety of activities that keep you engaged throughout your stay. You can enjoy a boat trip on the serene back water, go cycling within the resort, and feed fish in the small lake. There's also kayaking, paddle boating, and fishing, as well as a refreshing swimming pool. For indoor fun, you can play billiards, foosball, and chess.
The food was delicious and not too spicy, which I appreciated since I prefer low spice. Our first interaction was with Anju, the receptionist, who welcomed us warmly and provided all the necessary information with a smile. Every staff member in the reception area and or the resort were equally kind and helpful.
If you go for a boat trip, be sure to ask for Mahalingam, who is great at capturing photos. I am still reminiscing about the wonderful time I had and will definitely plan another visit with my family.

We stayed for 4 nights at the Gokulam resort. We had great experience. Staff were very friendly and smiling. Most of our requests were fulfilled very fast such as extra soap or extra towel in the room. Rooms are specious and clean. Water and snacks are provided for a reasonable price (1 L water bottle for 60 rupees). Bathroom is very clean, shampoo, soaps and additional things were very good quality. Swimming pool is a good size, clean. Personally I would prefer if water in the pool is cooled down, but with current temperature it is understandable. Free bikes and kayaks are nice addition. Spa salon is 4-5 starts, massage is good and professional, price is double compared to average price. Food is outstanding, buffet has a huge variety of dishes including local and international items. Waiters are very attentive. If somebody travels with kids, this hotel would be a nice option, because staff always play with children and they have nice play ground. They also provide tea with snacks and free boat ride at the time of sunset. There are plenty space for a walk and they have a nice gym. Overall, very pleasant experience and would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Kerala.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
I visited Gokulam Grand Kumarakom with my children earlier in April 2024 and want to make a specific mention of the delightful experience I had at this resort. Thanks to late arrival of the flight, we reached the resort around midnight and was given a warm welcome along with a hassle-free check in experience despite the late hour. We stayed at the Premium Lake View Villa and the room and bathroom was well appointed and spacious with a nice balcony that overlooks a lagoon coupled with a magnificent view of the Vembanad lake. The room was very well stocked and I noticed that the housekeeping staff serviced the room twice in a day which is a delighter.
The property is beautifully landscaped and is fairly self sufficient with a game room, fitness center, spa and ayurvedic treatment facility, hammocks in the lawns and a cute little lagoon. The highlight, however, is the exceptionally warm staff and prompt service that makes you feel at home and taken care of, despite the hot and humid weather. (April is not exactly a great time to visit Kerala anyway!)
We took the yoga class that is conducted each morning, played carrom and chess, went cycling and kayaking and even took the sunset cruise – all of which was organized by the resort. Additionally, we also took a couple of treatment sessions at the Spa and between the efficient staff and a warm ambience, it was definitely a rejenuvating experience. And so, if you are headed to Kumarakom for a relaxed vacation, I would definitely recommend Gokulam Grand and there is really no need to step out of the resort at all during your stay.
Last but not the least, was the generous buffet spread at the restaurant both at breakfast and dinner which has something for everyone…north indian, south indian, continental and asian and all of it tastefully prepared and served! All in all, the 4 days that we spent at Gokulam Grand Kumarakom was a delightful experience. My heartfelt thanks to both the property and the extremely hospitable staff for making this a truly memorable vacation for me and my family.

We booked 3 nights at the Gokulam Grand Kumarakom and had an overall Amazing experience. We booked 2 rooms - one for my parents in one of the Premium lake view villas and another was the meandering pool rooms. The landscape, interiors, ambience, customer service, food, gym, activities were all just fantastic and at very high standards. Staff were very professional. We thoroughly enjoyed and relaxed. The staff looked after my elderly parents. Special Thanks to restaurant team - Parvathy who would very kindly bring food for my parents as they couldn’t walk far for too long or too often. Chef - Mahesh and Restaurant manager - Ratheesh were so helpful and accommodating. Nothing was a bother to anyone. We had to leave a bit early due to personal reasons but the team kindly packed us Breakfast for all of us. This was certainly kind and thoughtful. The whole house keeping team were extremely helpful aswell, particularly Shinaj along with other team members. Thankyou to them too. We were able to contact them for any issues and they would respond immediately making our stay completely stress free and very enjoyable. We really enjoyed the evening snacks and coffee/tea. We always looked forward to this evening relaxation time in the open garden area. The team leaders and managers - Sherin and Manoj Kumar were always around and hands-on ensuring the best experience for all guests and for us equally. The whole team were very accommodating, flexible and helpful. I used the Spa and would like to Thank- Dr.Anu and Sabari for a friendly, relaxing and calm experience at the Spa. Thankyou all. Thankyou Gokulam Kumarakom for this fantastic experience and care. Would thoroughly recommend this place and we hope to return again in future.

Gokulam grand kumarakom welcomes us with a traditional garland ,the hospitality continues with a refreshing welcome drink, ensuring us feel relaxed . The property is well-maintained with lot of greenery, artificial lagoons and offers a variety of in door / out door activities especially for children, such as pedal boating, play area , and cycling and my kids really enjoyed that . They also have a spa and Ayurveda center for rejuvenation treatments . We really enjoyed the pool, traditional tea and snacks at the lawn, followed by a serene sunset cruise. The staff, known for their friendly demeanor, make every effort to ensure a pleasant stay. The food was exceptional, with an impressive breakfast spread and we ordered lunch and dinner as room service and that was really superb. Housekeeping is diligent, providing thoughtful touches like fruit basket and well-arranged rooms. Special recognition is often given to Rejimon, Anju, Duty manager , forget few reception staffs names , Joseph from housekeeping, Chef Binu, and Jibin. Many thanks to team GGK . We will surely recommend this property and will come back again.

As Veg & Non Veg food is kept together which pass the smell into one another and makes it difficult to eat. live counter same person prepares egg omelette & dosa . Veg & Non Veg prepared in same kitchen & same cutlery’s is used Only Jain option in entire breakfast buffet is Tea/Coffee , Fruits & Dry Fruits. Even Cookies are not eggless.
Stayed for 2 days but fed myself with food that I carried. Sorry to say the food management or the restaurant was also not considerate enough to accommodate us.
If Jains or pure Jains choose this property just pay for the stay don’t take the breakfast even if complimentary because it’s a pure waste.

A wonderful First time Stay at the Beautiful Gokulam Grand Resort and Spa Kumarakom in Kerala. Beautiful Architecture and Location, this Resort steals your heart away. The Morning Yoga Classes held by Mr Shibin were so interesting as he made us understand the difference between Real Yoga and just Yoga Postures via connecting the Body n Mind with Happy Breathing . The Ayurveda Spa has good Therapists to help you relax and rejuvenate. The Resort arranges a Complimentary Sunset Cruise every Evening at 5 pm in a Shikhara along the scenic Lake Vembanad Lake . An Evening Tea n Snacks fill you up before the Cruise and you get to meet all the Guests of the Resort. The Chef Cooking Demos are interesting followed by the Evening Cultural Shows which include Dance and Music Recitals of Kerala performed by the talented local Artists. The Meals are delicious and have a lot of Variety . The Hospitality of the Young Staff like Dipu, Jholmol. Indrajit , M.P is endearing. The Entire Staff was very curteous and helpful all throughout our stay. The Managers Mr Rejimon etc the Trainees like Yashwant were very helpful and responsive as was the Housekeeping Staff. The LakeView Rooms were very clean and comfortable and had a Great View too. Definitely coming back again to Gokulam Grand Resort N Spa Kumarakom whenever we visit Kerala again. Will recommend it to all my Friends too. Had a really wonderful time here from 8th April to 11th April 2024 .

The room was very neat and there was a great abundance of activities and games on offer to keep us entertained and the lake view in the morning was just spectacular. For example you can kayak and peddle boat for an unlimited amount of time and it is completely safe as it in the man made lagoon and not in the open lake. The cultural program at night is also a beautiful and enriching experience.
