Hotels in Kumarakom

Since I went with friends opted for staying in backwater resort than staying in houseboat. The resort has got lovely view and owner arranged us a shikara boat for 3 @800 for one hour and shikara pickup-drop was right from resort and it was very pleasant. Rooms are clean. But could have offered lesser price.

Simply amazing experience at shivaGanga houseboat, Food provided was delicious and quantity was ample. Cook preferred to ask everyone what would customer prefer separately, selectively for one who is veg, they might face problems in Kerala, but it didn't happen. We were amazed with veg food served on boat and taste was simply amazing. Cook staff was may be experienced in it. Regarding rooms not much spacious but they price being offered for are Totally paisa vassal. Will be highly recommend to guest.

Location and room is good. Everywhere we get the nature greenish touch like the name green garden. If I suggest only for couples. Family may not survive. Because there is not enough facilities for the money. Water scarsity is the main problem. And sometime AC is not working properly. Others are good .. Staff are very friendly. Good appearance.

Good location, superb property and in house facility, superb live music and bar.

Location and Room are excellent. But some basic amenities like hangers, TV in room are missing. Apart from that everything is great.

I liked the concept of how each room and the resort in whole l resembles an old Kerala traditional ancestral house. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Meandering Pool villas and Infinity pool is worth the money if you are water person.

After going through many reviews we booked this hotel. They recently upgraded to 4 star it seems . Before going I thought we should have taken a lakeside hotel but after check in I felt it’s the best one . We were given a warm welcome with a drink . First coming to positive side. Nice scenic beauty . Enough parking area. Well maintained swimming pool. A good gym and a separate siting area for bird watching. A big room with a balcony with swimming pool view. Neat and clean bathroom with well maintained multi utility shower . Friendly and courteous staff. A neatly maintained restaurant. All facilities like water kettle, tea bags, coffee sachets and a small fridge. Complimentary breakfast was also good. The negative side. Nothing in my view, except for the serving time which takes around 20 to 25 minutes after placing the order. Better to order all items at once. But the food was good. And better not to include dinner in the room tariff as the number of items are limited.

Rooms are very neat and clean. Location is very near to the lake and situated in a village setting. You can enjoy the nature by having walk through the lanes alongside the coconut trees. Food is available on order and is typical Kerala flavour.

It was good place and a calm place, probably one more day would have been good to relax at this place, Staff was unable to communicate anything in English. Chapatis were a real disaster. We thought why on the earth we decided to order chapatis in Kerala.location is gem of a place that needs to be cultured into business minded approach to survive.. Else good place would be wasted for nothing wrong.

Got a very good deal from MMT which helped us get value for money. With so many reviews about houseboats talking about - dirty bathrooms/ pests/ bed bugs/ less food quantity / quality / etc, we were sceptical about this booking, yet we took chance. The staff was more than helpful. Boat ride is limited (1. 5 Hrs before lunch, 1. 5 Hrs post lunch and 15 minutes during breakfast). However if you keep your expectations low, this is must visit trip.

Everything from stay to food to service to location fantastic, activities for kids also very good, the birds wathing, butterfly garden, and ayurveda clinic also very good. It's really like gods own country.

Overall it was an amazing experience at Cocobay starting from entry on a boat till the seeoff. Resort is very cozy, clean & tidy, spacious and offers a spectacular view of backwaters with an amazing variety of Kerala food . Offers good WiFi, it’s very natural and services are really good. Need to improve on breakfast variety probably . The day we were checking out, was strike day Nation wide resulting in cancellation of our cabs to airport from Kumarakom. Hotel staff being really supportive, went an extra mile in helping & arranging one on a very short notice !. Thanks for an amazing stay, me & my friends absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this resort

Worth stay back water retreat staff was good food was awesome. Peaceful place to stay.
