“If you want to just laze around and enjoy the backwaters, this can be an excellent option.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Right at backwaters.....
If you want to just laze around and enjoy the backwaters, this can be an excellent option. Ideal for short stay only as it's inside backwaters and will not have much activities.

Only way to reach the resort is by the boat which is arranged by hotel. So advisable to be in touch with the hotel about your arrival time. We reached the spot, from where the boat starts at 2:00 p.m.Have to wait for 45 minutes before they could arrange for the boat, which will take us to the resort.

Food quality was good, but had more of south india touch. We took an all meals inclusive plan as no accessible restaraunts are near by.

Value for money; is not as expensive as kumarokam properties, where we had to pay some obscene money.

overall a beautiful expereince

Room Tip: Ground floor rooms overlooing backwaters in no case paddy view rooms

“Excellent location, best service and very good people decribes this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

I travelled here in Nov,2012. Going in he boat to the hotel in itself was different and pleasurable exoerience. We reached there at 3:30 PM. we have included lunch in our bookings and we were later as the lunch close time was 2 PM.Still the people were ready to arrange the lunch for us without any disappointment on their face,,, we ordered very less as the lunch tme was already passed and they insisted we could order more.. A gesture to be appreciated.

Then we had the sunset cruise for them which was complimentary.. we enjoyed every bit of it..
A complimentary head or foot massage was again a fun.

The rooms are just awesome looking at the backwaters...very comfy.. neat and clean beyond our expectations... Food is just excellent and their manager (forgot his name) who helped us while dining was very polite and took care that we were comfortable and enjoyed each momment of the stay.

WE had take a massage from them which was excellent.. and coz of it we were late for breakfast which gets over by 10 AM but still they provided us the same at 11: 00 AM.what a good service.. wwe were glad.

Also , not to forget the mohininatyam dance organised by them during dinner. a must watch..

We just didnt realise how our two days got over and wnated to stay more here. We would be definitley back here again.. Thanks Citrus for pleasurable stay...

Room Tip: You should take lake view rooms.

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

a long road trip and a 10 minute boat ride out to the resort means that this retreat really is far from the maddening crowd. We stayed for 4 nights; and loved every bit of it. The staff was stretched thin at times (esp housekeeping folk) but they can't be faulted for effort. The food is a great mix of Indian and typical Keralaite delicacies. Beyond the hotel, is one of the most beautiful places on earth... which boasts some of the big name chain resorts - and that is a good thing. A day trip on the houseboat (arranged through the hotel) and strolls around the verdant greens are great options to consider; once you get done with the hotel spa or lazing by the pool. All in - great value. We loved our time there!
