We were visiting kerala from England and wanted couple of days visit to Kumarakom with Family, Parents and My family and we have two boys of 21 and 17 :)
Started with a call to Alphina which resulted in the booking for 2 nights - 3 day stay. * Booked 3 room (all Vembanadu category)
Payment on check-in as we were booking just 2 days before our departure from UK.
Jobby (Front office) , Prafulla (house keeping) Shine (Restaurant) are some names which i wanna call out as they were helpful in all possible ways. Food was good. Breakfast was inclusive and had decent selection in continental and Indian.
The stay and sleep was absolutely great and we enjoyed and we will be back again soon.
Things which Can be improved:-
-------------------------------------------------
* Indian - lacal simple food availability
* Maintenance of Gym as the weight thread snapped whilst doing exercise (Health & Safety issues)
* Partnering with a house Boat team to cater on demand service,
* Partnering with a local hand rowing boat for a 1-2 hour in the canals
* Shikara was a waste as it takes out into the open back water and back instead a canal trip to see local living and lives would have been better.More
