This is most beautiful resort I have come across. In the backwaters of Kerala, in lush green environment, this is heaven on earth. I loved the concept of cottage over man made cannals. I saw ducks swimmings thru the caannals. Its would be the same as heaven. Neat, Clean and tourist friendly. The food is good. Recommend for leisure and... more

The hotel has a very good view, just opposite the Vembanad Lake. It has a good multi cuisine restaurant (but very costly). The whole place is like a forest of cottages. Lots of cottages here and there. It has good swimming pool with a cool view of the lake. Cottages are clean and tidy but too small. Overall the place... more

Kumarakom is where the scenic beauty of backwaters enchants all those who choose to explore God's own country. And Waterscapes is the place to reside in when you are about to explore this lagoon or "kaayal' as the locals know it. This place has a unique system of canals over which wooden houses on stilt have been constructed. The idea... more

KTDCs Waterscapes is a perfect backwater escape. The location of the resort is excellent, situated inside the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, and right on the banks of unperturbed vembanad lake it offers you a perfect mix of lazy backwater resort and adventurous bird watching experience. The resort itself is very well landscaped with canals and trees. Rooms/Cottages are well spread out,... more

The hotel is in a great location, beautiful view over the lake, but it is looks like it has been abandoned (and it has only been built in 2001). We only went there because other resorts were fully booked, at Water Scapes there has been hardly a soul (and we were the only western people). We hardly saw any staff,... more

In Kerala , the KTDC hotels are right up there with the best private establishments so we took the suggestion of our tour operator Intersight [ Cochin ] without much hesitation . It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay . The cottages are separated from each other with plenty of greenery and water channels affording great solitude and privacy . I... more

Luckily our stay was only for 1 night, else we would have moved to any other hotel in Kumarakom. They claim to have three kinds of rooms - Lake View, Canal View and Pool View and we opted for canal view. The pix in their website is really good, but since the small canals are not well maintained, it looks... more

As others have already noted, this place looks wonderful in the promotional materials. The concept is wonderful and the grounds look great. The staff we saw outside the dining room and front desk were all dedicated to maintaining the grounds. Certainly not the rooms/cabins. Definitely felt more like 'camping' than a resort stay. We were only booked for a one... more

We went to Kerela for our honeymoon and spent one night at Waterscapes. As you can see from the various photos posted, this place is very well designed and romantic. It was an experience to enjoy the backwaters from your room and relax in the hammock. However I do remember one lizard in our bathroom. But you have to remember... more
