Coconut Lagoon kickstarted our Kerala vacation with a Bang! Set in the picturesque backwaters of Kottayam district by the vembanad lake this is a vacationers haven! The aesthetically done cottages dot the property which is connected by meandering waterways, bridges and paths. Entry into the lake resort itself is by boat. This is a place where tradition meets luxury meets sustainable and environmentally conscious living! Time stops, the minds relaxes, body eases up and the soul smiles! Between lounging by the poolside watching the sunset between the looming trees, getting a ayurvedic massage, taking a walk by the back waters, strolling through the butterfly gardens and paddy fields, attending a kalari class or yoga session there is no dearth for activity. Chef Naveen and Chef George deserve special mention for the culinary delights they pamper your taste buds with! Definitely trying traditional Kerala cuisine is recommended. Children have ample activities to choose from at the recreation centre and the staff are extremely kind and patient. While everything at a CGH experience will be a 100/100, the staff and hospitality scores 200/100. Be it Marari Beach, Visalam, Brunton Boatyard, Quiet by the River, or Coconut Lagoon, this is a characteristic common to all CGH experiences we have had. When you holiday at a CGH resort, be prepared for two things: 1. That any hotel stay after this will never meet your standards, 2. When in South India you will never be...Coconut Lagoon kickstarted our Kerala vacation with a Bang!
