Lovely location amongst lush green gardens. Staff were great, especially the restaurant team, who made us feel at home. Loved afternoon tea, watching the sunset at the lakeside. Trips from the hotel are pricey, but we walked to the bridge and jumped on boats to explore the lake and backwaters.

We had a wonderful stay at this Taj. We extended our stay by a night. The private cottages were very comfortable and the restaurant options great. The property is designed with a lot of green spaces leading up to the lake.

We loved our two night stay. The ambience of this resort is amazing. And as usual Taj Resorts has impeccable service. All the staff was constantly smiling and ready to help. We particularly enjoyed our meals. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for a quiet resort that focuses on limited guests (only 28 rooms) than this is the place for you. Excellent food. Very green and within nature. Excellent service as well!

its a good retreat . just sitting in the balcony of your room overlooking the lagoon is invigorating especially in the monsoon season. staff were very helpful and curteous.

Chef and staff very accommodating after complaint

Was initially disappointing, with the veg meal, but staff called the chef, and additional meals were then very good.

A nature retreat, great location with mainly individual cottages, loved their sunset tea and snacks and Great Lake Vembanad views. Food quality and service were excellent. A great idea for a nature retreat! Also, their arrangement for an early morning Shikara through narrow canals of backwater was superb! I wish they took care of our driver as well similar to other hotels

Fantastic location and nested in native greenery. What I liked is quietness due to occupant to property size ratio. Vila was fabulous. Antique furniture and look with modern immunities. Gracious and welcoming staff all over the property.

The setting is magical, and perfect for our smaller kids with activities and a kid-friendly swimming pool. Property condition felt a little dated and dining options were few and expensive, esp given the indoor option was very small and the hotel has no spirits licence (so only beer and wine available)
Verified review

6/10 Good

A nice hotel that needs upgarde

The hotel staff are very friendly and polite. However, the internet connection and service is far below standards for any hotel. It was intermittent at best and not available for few minutes at a time😡 The food was ok for a 5star hotel.

The food/buffet was very nice, very well managed by executive chef Manoj and his staff. They took great care of my kid who was being very picky. Housekeeping was great. It would be great if they can provide accommodation and good restrooms to drivers. Our driver could not sleep and had to drive 90 Kim’s to his home to sleep.

6/10 Good

The staff were excellent, attentive, and very helpful, especially with arranging local tours. The half-day backwaters boat tour was a highlight and highly recommended, and the resort grounds were lovely and quiet. The main disappointment was the Alleppey tour, as we were not told in advance that the coir factory, museum, and palace were closed on Monday, which made the long drive less worthwhile. The driver, however, was excellent. The rooms also felt tired and in need of an upgrade, with some basic maintenance issues. Overall, while there were some very positive aspects to the stay, it did not quite meet the standard or value we expected from Taj.

This is a small resort with about 30 rooms. its nice and quiet and does not have the hustle and bustle of a busy resort. laid back is the right word. very limited dining options with a limited menu. the hotel bar only serves beer and wine but there is a bar nearby where you can buy liquor. only a couple of rooms have lake view. a nice place for a couple of days or till you run out of options on the menu.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Beautifully landscaped property with a pond in the center. Afternoon complimentary tea and snacks were nice. Naimeen Fish for Ala Carte dinner was very good, vegetarian option was too small and overpriced. Staff service was not bad but sometimes had to call twice to get things done. - Didn’t expect lizards to be running around the room and bathrooms - Problematic WiFi to some extend compensated by an Internet card - Non-working kettle for boiling water - No US-ready plug points for iPhones and laptops

Our stay was a 10/10. I'm usually critical, and don't give such ratings easily -- but I want to specifically thank TAJ KUMARAKOM's accommodation manager, the housekeeping in-charge, and the restaurant team for making our stay MEMORABLE for a family occasion. They went out of their way to make it special with cake, decorations, and EXCEPTIONAL service. We experienced the magic of the TAJ experience, and the staff members definitely lived up to this ideal. Keep it up!
