On trip advisor among the top 5 resorts at Kumarakom in Kerala is the Kumarakom lake resort. The New York times and other international publications have reviewed the resort in detail. The property is a five star and next to the Taj Vivanta but still it manages to make a brisk business.
The resort spread over acres of land is architecturally well made. With small bridges over the backwaters, houses well built around the back waters allowed inside the property. The resort has a dense plantation which keeps the temperature pleasant even when its 36 degrees in Cochin. The resort is Managed by Paul Hotels which has a boutique hotel in Bangalore also.
On arrival your greeted with the coconut water. Resort has three categories of room, standard, heritage villas and deluxe rooms with a pool. We had booked the Heritage villa with a plunge pool and Jacuzzi. The room no 1234 is the last room facing the infinity pool and the backwaters. The rooms are well built and spacious and the management ensures that a importance is given on cleanliness and hygiene. They clean the room twice a day.
The resort has few indoor activities, like fishing in the backwaters, pottery and mat weaving. All were a fun thing and especially when your with a loved one the experience just heightens. My wife was also able to catch a fish in the hook.
The resort is managed by very hospitable attendants who keep giving you instructions on many things and everything that can be done in and around the area. The major attraction among Indian's is the sunset cruise but among the foreigners its the lunch or over-nigth cruise rides. The price may be a bit high but it worth every penny.
The two restaurants vembanad (Sea food restaurant on the lake) and the multi cuisine restaurant serve good food. Their in-house wine Big Banyan a premium international wine is superb. The chef rolls out lovely cuisines but avoid Indian ones as they are not well made. The complimentary breakfast a treat to see and have. Variety the word might prove to be small seeing the spread. Must have is the quail egg omelet. The overall experience at Kumarakom lake resort is awesome. Wife and me went there with the only agenda of relaxing and we did achieve it.
