We recently stayed overnight at samieira on ashtamudi lake, and it was a memorable experience for us. We booked the resort via make my trip during the vishu holidays, so the room rate was slightly higher. We arrived at the resort around 12:30 pm, and the check-in and other formalities were smoothly completed. The staff was very helpful, and we have no complaints about our stay. Samiira resort is a beautiful lakefront property with traditional kerala architecture. They offer lakefront varantha rooms and independent garden view cottages. The property boasts lush greenery with an abundance of trees and plants. We selected varantha lakefront rooms for two adults and two children. The room was spacious enough for a small family and came equipped with an air conditioner, electric kettle, attached bathroom, an extra coat for the kid, tea bags, and all the necessary amenities. The food menu at the restaurant was a bit expensive, and we had to place our food orders at least four hours in advance. This disappointed us a little, but we managed to pre-order our meals, which turned out to be very tasty. However, we were disappointed to find out that popular dishes like kerala meals and biriyani were not available on the menu. Breakfast was complimentary, and they served dosa, chutney, sambar, and omelet. Please note that the resort has limited space available, which may become crowded during peak season or if multiple families are staying together. Additionally, it's recommended to pre-order food as getting meals from the restaurant can be difficult otherwise. Please be aware that there are no shops or restaurants within a 2-3 kilometer radius of the property.
