We stayed at this property for 3 nights. Beautiful resort with a well maintained garden. The set up of this resort is very peaceful and relaxing. We stayed in one of the pool cottages with the pool view. Room facities were very good. Only improvement needed is the staff engagement with guests. Majority of Staff in restaurant and reception were not friendly and attentive. Joel and Alok in the restaurent were the only exception. They were very attentive , efficient and friendly. Break fast spread is very limited for a 5 star property of this calibre. We had the opportunity of meeting the new GM and were able to share our experience. The GM was receptive of our feedback and assured that improvements will be made accordingly.

An excellent 150 meter swimming pool with a view of the lake with a view of the lake was a great experience. A very prompt room service was appreciated by us. Entire staff in the reception, restaurants was extremely efficient and hospitable. We always go with the local food when we travel and found the Kerala cuisine at Rhythm an excellent choice. Very good musical performances in the evening , especially the playing of the saxophone and flute. Mr. Shaji Nair, the GM of the resort helped extensively in identifying outlets for handicrafts and spices of high quality at competitive prices A great holiday indeed!
