"The staff were so wonderful. They made every moment special. My 11-month old son was so well pampered and taken care of, every single need was met the moment we mentioned it. For a change, the staff had a genuine smile and were really ready to go the extra mile to provide a fabulous vacation. We were so delighted we added another day into a length of stay. Again, however, we used MakeMyTrip for the additional booking as it was much easier, hassle-free and economical."

"We got a room overlooking both the pool and the lake. The views from the room were awesome and worth the stay. Very well maintained facilities and excellent ambience at the hotel. The room was very clean, posh and the staff were very courteous and helpful. They made sure that our needs were taken care of and provided us valuable tips on sightseeing in and around Cochin. Service was prompt and reliable. Food tasted excellent, freshly prepared and delicious. We were initially worried about the distance from the city, but it turned out to be a boon in disguise as it is located on the highway and can be used to easily beat the traffic to visit nearby places Alleppey, Munnar etc. The scenic beauty of the place in any case more than made up for the distance. Overall a very pleasant stay. I would definitely recommend this to everyone."

Travelled in the month of July 2010(off-peak season) room is enough spacious for a couple. Room service is good. Hotel has an attached restaurant and the food is delicious. Overall room is spacious, and food and ambience are satisfactory."

"The Edassery East End is located at the center of Munnar which makes it easily accessible and is also very well known. Staff is friendly and courteous except for a select few in the Front Office who lack a smile and talk as if you are doing a favor by staying in their property. Mind you its just a select few. The rest of the staff are well trained and polite and also proactively responsive to meet your needs. The property has a nice lawn where you can laze around. Rooms are of very good standards. Cleaned very regularly and well maintained. Decor is tastefully done. The one thing lacking in the rooms is the lack of 24 hour hot water. Hot water was provided only for a few hours during the day."

"The hotel is overall maintained very well and provides good service. The staff is very helpful and polite. The hotel is located away from the main area called Kumily, but it offers great scenic beauty and privacy. Breakfast and Indian food is pretty good. However, there should be food or beverage service at the poolside. "

"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."
