“Far below expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

We opted for this hotel after seeing the rating & reviews on trip adviser, but after reaching there we were little disappointed. Entrance garden was not maintained at all, long grass, no flowers, and dirty canal, very poor landscaping. But as we proceeded to our room some hope emerged because the view from the room was amazing. But what followed took away even that hope.

It’s not only the doors and the room that gave it a heritage look but also the TV set, AC, and toiletries are antique. Ac didn't work for more than 5 minutes. During power cuts the generator broke down and the whole resort plunged into complete darkness. The dressing table was without any glass top and the underlying rails refused to hold anything. The pair of lizards in the room was also from the same era, kept chatting whole night. Bath room was without roof and insects/reptiles will keep you company.
The only silver lining was the constantly smiling & helpful restaurant staff.
Pine apple juice and fruits were excellent. Idly was also good but rest of the food was below par.
Our initial booking was for 2 days but we were fortunate enough that our travel agent arranged another resort for the next day which was too good.
All in all there is no sign of luxury in this “Luxury Resort”.

“Beautiful Lakeside views”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

First impression good.
Chalets set in flat beautiful garden- unclear in what way this is a Heritage site.
Good size room with dark panelling,beautiful wood workmanship; bathroom is part outside, so you shower in the open. (no roof.
Good meal on arrival, but as 4 of our party of 6 were ill whilst visiting other food not experienced although final breakfast somewhat basic.
Swimming pool
WiFi- in reception not working
The room set up meant neighbours sitting area outside my window, had to use safety pins to close curtains for privacy.
A/C intermittent and needed. Fan
Firm bed.

A leasant hotel , good food,let down but a lack of attention to detail.

“home away home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

we stayed at this wonderful resort 2weeks ago.It was an amazing experience, the care we experienced from the staff was stunning.We enjoyed every moment of our holiday in Kayaloram.The special attraction that segregates kayaloram is the view.View from the lake facing rooms are literally a feast for the eyes.Its atmosphere is ideal for relaxation.When we talk about Kayaloram we must say about their open bathrooms(roofless)which are unique.The food served at the restaurant was amazing.the butterfly garden and pets adds the beauty.We thank kayaloram for making our trip memorable.

Room Tip: lake side rooms got pretty good view of the backwaters

“EXCELLENT !!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

No words to express, me and my wife had a great time at Kayaloram Lake Resort of Mir Group.We are from Australia, have been to Kerala, India many times, always we used to stay in 5 stars, but this time fortunately my friend suggested this place, this is something different. Great location, right on the backwater. Food was fantastic, tried out few local dishes, special thanks to Chef (forgot name, too tough to remember Indian names). Got the food as per my taste as our orders were taken by the Chef directly. Staffs are very friendly, always with a smiling face and an attitude to serve. It was just 2 short stay, I am coming back in December with my friends to have fun...but haven't got the rooms confirmed yet as they are totally sold out in December-January. Manager has promised me that he will give me a room in their house boat, if they cant put me in their hotel room. Any way big thanks to all...

“Superb setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

A very peaceful hotel set in very beautiful surroundings. The hotel staff are very friendly and attentive and every one of them made us feel more than welcome. The gardens in the hotel are lovely and well maintained. The view across the lake is absolutely stunning and seeing the moon reflected on a very still and peaceful lake was wonderful.
The room was well maintained and clean. The swimming pool, rooms and the whole area of the hotel appeared to be washed and cleaned every day.
We would definately would loke to stay there again.
The only negative was the food in the restuarant. It was good but could have been much better
