I had an unforgettable stay surrounded by lush nature and breathtaking views of the lake. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, and the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, perfect for relaxation. However, I did feel that having mesh screens on the windows would enhance the experience by allowing fresh air while keeping pesky insects out. Overall, it was excellent value for money!

My stay at the resort was truly a beautiful experience, with stunning views of the lake and a very clean and well-kept environment. The staff, especially Nivin, provided exceptional service, making us feel cared for throughout our anniversary celebration. However, the dining options fell short of expectations, lacking the regional culinary flair one hopes for in Kerala. Overall, it's a fantastic family-friendly resort, offering great amenities and value for money.

The resort offers a fantastic location with stunning views of the lake, making it a lovely retreat for relaxation. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, but my experience with the service was a bit inconsistent. While I enjoyed the dining options initially, the variety could certainly be improved. Overall, it's a beautiful spot for families and friends to enjoy a calm getaway, though the service issues detracted from an otherwise perfect experience.
