We stayed 2 nights at the lake palace resort. The location and the setting is terrific. Everything else is below par for a 4 star hotel. The staff were not friendly, did not understand English and they were hardly trained. In the buffett room, for 2 days running, the staff did not bring back the change until we asked. On... more

Having been to India twice in the last 2 years and stayed in 9 hotels this was the worst and most expensive hotel we have stayed in. The bathrooms were dirty, bedding was old and worn, and the food in the restaurent was terrible. They advestise a bar in their brochure, and also a 24 hr coffee shop, they were... more

We went for our honeymoon here and stayed in a water villa (doesnt really matter which cottage you stay in). IT is a really relaxing place. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a stressfree vacation at one place. It is in the midst of the vembanad lake, so the only transportation is by boat. They have... more

I'm surprised to read the unhappy reviews here, as our stay (albeit only for one night) was wonderful. The good things: -The layout is gorgeous. You take a 5-min boat to the hotel from the town, and there is a private lake and pool in the center of the grounds. Our chalet on the lake was very pretty, with the... more

We had a horrific experience at Lake Palace. Exhausted from our backwaters trip, we arrived at the hotel to find our room not available due to some vague "plumbing issue." Instead after much delay, they offered us an insulting windowless room usually reserved to house their staff. Not only that, but they offered to take a whopping $15 off our... more

The good: - The room was nice, clean and well decorated. - The food at the buffet was decent. It was much better at the restaurant. They have cultural programs during dinner which is not bad either. - The sunset cruise provided by the resort was very pleasant. - The hotel also has a canoe ride, fitted with a motor.... more

This was a very luxurious hotel in the middle of the Kerala backwaters. The room was lovely - a water bungalow over the private lake. Reached by boat this hotel was stunning, but i will head a warning you will not want to stay there for more than a couple of nights because you will get bored! more

This was our final destination of a long tour of India, the most expensive hotel and the most disappointing. It has a wonderful location, is very clean and well laid out with large comfortable chalets. Although you can only access the hotel by boat there is a good service into Alleppey, and they are willing to provide transport as required.... more

We stayed in the Lake palace hotel in Alleppey as we could not find any last minute reservations at the Kumarakum Lake Resort and the Coconut Lagoon resort. We were expecting nothing much from Lake Palace as we were disappointed about not getting our prefered hotels. To our amazement the resort was not only beautiful but also very well maintained.... more
