Customer Reviews of Manor Backwater Resort (Show Reviews)

Submitted by Dharmendra (Dec 2009)

"As a newly married couple, we had limited choices to go to, mainly the north of India. However, anticipating extreme cold conditions there, we finally decided to go to Munnar and Kumarakom. At Kumarakom we stayed at Manor Backwater Resort. Right from the moment we entered the hotel, we fell in love with it. It is perfectly located on the banks of Vembanad Lake. Every room has a balcony which opens to the beautiful lake and tall coconut trees (what else are you in Kumarakom for if not for the view). The hotel organised sunset cruise for us (insist on individual occupancy of the boat though). The hotel is nicely done up with ethnic furniture, big rooms, quality room service. One thing where the hotel misses out greatly on is the food. As North Indians, we wanted to taste the local Kerela cuisine, but all we got there was continental, Indian and idlis and dosas. If the hotel introduces more erela cuisine, it would be the perfect place to go to in Kumarakom."

"The hotel does not live up to any standards. The faciliies and setrvices are extremely poor. The swimming pool water was dirty, there was no fan/AC in the table tennis room, food in the only restaurant was disgusting (there was a matchstick in my noodles), there is no bar, a lake is there but dirty...it was a nightmare... the only respite was the room which was nice and cosy...so I spent the entire stay in the room!!"

"Very nicely located hotel with vibrant atmosphere."
Submitted by Senthil Kumar (Jun 2010)

"Hotel's location is awesome, and our room was bang on the beach. Food was great, but they could do more to bring in authentic Kerala flavour (it was more of a 4-star menu). We had some issues with equipments in the room - toilet flush, air-conditioner, exhaust fan, etc. They need to have these checked and replaced to ensure 100% quality. Staff were niece and courteous."

"It is a nice hotel. I was there from 20th Aug to 22nd Aug. It was off seation for them. So I did not get all facilities over there but the pools were great and services were also very good."
Submitted by Harish (Apr 2010)

"With due respect to the grandness of the hotel, it still did not appeal to me completely. It could have been so much better. The staff seems under-equipped. Most queries are responded with a strange reaction that I could not fathom. I had booked a Presidential Suite which apparently is the best room they offer. Well, it was a very disappointing room. A suite, for the hotel, is a living room and an extra washroom added to a normal hotel room. So much so that it looks like a flat apartment. There was no feel of any Suite. The Jacuzzi mentioned in the room details is a bathtub attached with few nozzles. The tub maintained in a way that you would not want to step in really. The 'Sea-View' Room is disappointing. The immediate outside view of the room is inferior for a Presidential Suite. The room service is okay. Food quality - nothing special/unique. Menu maintenance is very disappointing. The beach outside the property stinks. Overall, I would not want to go to Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel again."
