I booked a canal view room for my family through MMT. I called in advance to check about the boating facilities available in one of the numbers provided. I was assured that for resort guests no need to book in advance and the boating was complimentary. Turned out none of it is true - couldn't do the boating (motor boat only, no house boat) as it was already booked out for the day by other guests. Only the paddle boats are complimentary which is limited to the resort canals. Not a great way to start.
Other than this incident, my experience with the resort and it's staff were quite satisfactory. The area is quite big, and you can call the buggies if you need. Swimming pool is well maintained, my daughter used it to full extent. Room was nice and clean, with the required dental and shaving kits. You can take a morning walk in bird sanctuary trail (1.5km one-way), though we couldn't spot too many birds.
Food was a mixed bag. Complimentary evening snacks were not as per our taste buds (there was only one item, forgot the name). Dinner non-veg items were also mediocre, veg was good though. Breakfast was comparatively better.
Must mention the staffs who was super helpful throughout, though had minor issues with English at times. All in all, I feel it's quite VFM among the luxury resorts on Vembanand.
