What's this?

29 August 2011

Top 3 reasons to stay at the hotel:

  1. This resort is a heritage resort and lives up to its name in all respects. Its location is excellent; on the banks of lake Vembanadand, and is engulfed with beauty be it the heritage villas, the splendid heritage restaurant and not to forget the spa. It immerses you in the rich history which is an unforgettable experience. Here one has to imbibe nature’s music in all forms;  birds, water, gardens, heritage structures and acres of well maintained greenery. 

  2. Within such a paradise, the facilities and activities are innumerable and delightful. One can also stay in a heritage houseboat with all modern amenities. It takes you deep into the lake, relaxes, pampers and feeds you - all made to order. The spa which offers the most authentic ayurvedic treatments is worth a visit. One can also cruise on the houseboat to watch a beautiful sunset accompanied by music or do water sports, including speedboat, waterskiing and banana boat rides etc.  

  3. Eating here is a different experience altogether due to the fine food and different styles of cuisine. The culinary delicacies are a gourmets delight in continental, Chinese and north Indian styles but the specialty to look forward to is the ethnic kerala cooking. All these experiences are enhanced by the grandeur of the heritage mansion and the music.

Overview:

This resort calms and excites you at the same time.

The heritage structure which is 200 years old, the lush greenery, sight of the cool lake and regal rooms and villas are a delight. The power of nature makes you surrender, and one starts enjoying the luxury, and the tranquility of the place.

Kumarakom Lake Resort, has various types of rooms, villas and suite with traditional architecture and has all modern facilities and an open roofed bathroom in most categories. Dining is a delight in both the restaurants which are housed in the regal historical mansions. The seafood bar, the traditional tea shop, and the lounge bar also have fine views, delicacies and drinks.

The infinity swimming pool is the place to be; especially in the early mornings and late evenings with the sound of birds chirping and view of the lake.

For other activities, there is a conference room, fitness center, activities on the lake, the pool pavilion, and the business centre. One can visit bird sanctuaries, take village walks, take part in pottery making and cane weaving on site and enjoy local south Indian classical music every day.

All in all it is my kind of paradise!

Mystery Inspectors explained:


Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) places great emphasis on its inspection process and believes in the importance of using 'real' guests rather than retired hotel inspectors to provide a valuable assessment of the hotel, its facilities and the quality of service provided. Enlisting guests in the quality control programme not only enables SLH's customers to be directly involved in the process but allows the hotels to shape operations based on their guests' opinions and experienced insight. As far as the hotel is concerned, this means that every hotel guest is a potential inspector.
