Kumbakonam is a place best known for the hundreds of ancient temples dotted in and all around it. But when it comes to accommodation or food, Kumbakonam is definitely not a place that can pamper you like the hotels in a good vacation spot. But after my recent five nights stay at the Mantra Veppathur, I’m forced to eat my... More

Stayed Feb 2013. Very isolated resort spread out on a former Governmnet plantation. Now owned and built I believe by a politician????? Cottages well apart and solid and huge. pool area great and restuarant located in a separate large open venue.

Very courteous staff and the food was excellent. The service was also very good. The resort is very calm and has a refreshing environment. The cottages are tastefully done.

I had... More

Each and every thing was unique the way we are welcomed, the ambiance, especially the “Tea kadai”. We all we amazed to have such an excellent food, hat’s off... More

My wife and I spend a day at Mantra illam. First of all, the place reminds me of good old rural India. Food was superb - my wife complained it was slightly bland but overall the taste was definitely good. Hospitality at its best. They do not have room service, which in one way is good. No TV. This is... More

I had my Son`s Upanayanam by taking the entire resort. It was an extraordinary experience for all of us & our invitees who stayed there. The staff were amazingly helpful & kind besides being very professional in their approach. I have booked the resort again in June 2013 for my Father`s `Sadabishekam` (8oth Birthday) & look forward to our stay... More
