My stay at the resort was truly enjoyable, with stunning views of Lake Vembanad and a serene environment that made it feel like a slice of paradise. The spacious rooms offered comfort and cleanliness, while the spa and pools catered to relaxation perfectly. However, the live music during dinner was often too loud, which detracted from the atmosphere, and more lounge areas would enhance the experience significantly.

My stay at this resort was quite enjoyable overall, thanks to its serene ambiance and beautiful surroundings by the lake. The room I stayed in was cozy, although a bit dated, which detracted from the experience. While the staff was friendly and attentive, the booking process was frustrating and caused unnecessary stress. Additionally, the dining experience was a highlight, with fresh and delicious food, but I found the lack of walking paths along the lake rather disappointing.
