    The location was really good. There's lots of greenery in the compound. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We took the boat trip which was worth it. I really wanted to go kayaking, but didn't have enough time. Surely next time :)

    "The food service was extremely slow, and the taxi I had booked broke down. Since the driver had no money, I had to cover the cost of a tuk-tuk to get us both back to the hotel. As a result, I was unable to reach my planned destination."

    "The staff were exceptionally polite and cheerful. Excellent value for money."

    Unfortunately the swimming pool was a bit old already when we came there, but the resort is planning to renew it this or the next year. Be careful while swimming there, you might cut your foot on the broken tiles.

    Beautiful natural environment, very well maintained environment. Super nice staff, delicious kitchen, beautiful sunset point, very good play-room, nice walks around, complimentary fishing activities, comfy and spacious rooms (we had villa), very good spa and Ayurveda treatments.

    Leaving. But all beng well, we will be back next year.

    Everything. The beautiful location, the lovely grounds, the bamboo shaded swimming pool, the sunsets and the daily twilight spectacle of hundreds of flying foxes passing overhead to their nocturnal fruit feast. The friendly and efficient staff for whom nothing was too much trouble, chef Ashok's delicious food and the peace, quiet and natural beauty all around. The afternoon spent on the hotel boat watching the local snake boat races.

    The property is in a secluded location with no other food options nearby. The restaurant closes around 3pm until dinner. So if you miss lunch, you have to stay hungry until dinner. I think the restaurant should operate during the whole day if not 24 hours or the resort can provide menus for outside places from where one can order.

    Breakfast was nice but they were mainly south indian food. may be a more varied option for non indians would be more appriciated.

    Nothing that didn’t like . It would be lovely to get an English newspaper / magazines.

    The location is the x- factor. It’s so serene, calm, pretty, green, clean- everything that you desire on a holiday. The complimentary breakfast was awesome. The fluffy idlis, crispy dosas and soft uthapams were amazing. Fresh fruit and fresh juices were good. The staff right from the cheerful security guards, gardening staff, restaurant, housekeeping and front office wore a smile and were helpful and pleasing.

    Needs more lights in the night. The restaurant is far and on the first floor, making it uncomfortable for elderly and sick visitors.

    Very calm and quite place with the nice lake view and the food was superb.

    None. Slightly off-road from the highway but well connected. Also taxis etc readily available if one does not have own transport.

    Ambience, surrounding, landscaping, facilities (gym, indoor games, badminton, pool, spa, restaurant, private boats). Beautifully manicured & maintained. Villa rooms are big, private with patio and sit outs. The serene backwaters start at your doorstep.

    Beautiful location, amazing views, wonderful staff, interesting things to do, and fabulous food. A highlight was the boat trip with Pridget (apologies if mis-spelt), and extremely kind customer service from the manager Abhilash and Leeba, both of whom went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. It was so good, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it if you’re looking for a peaceful place to recharge.

    There wasn’t anywhere to sit outside apart from the pool area. It could do with some lounging areas to relax. The location was a little out the way for getting around, but it was on the lake which was lovely!!

    Property was very well managed, and well looked after. The restaurant was great, service was great and to food was lovely.

    The swimmingpool was not so clean anymore after the bathing of 15 to 20 people not wearing a bathsuit but remaining completely dressed. It looked like their purpose was not to swim, but to clean themselves altough they had a lot of fun being in a swimmingpool. After this incident we could make use of the private swimmingpool of one of the villas. We have been told the swimmingpool will soon be renewed.

    Staff was very friendly, not only at the reception, but even those who maintained very well the garden, and not to forget the cleaning staff. Sreela and the others did everytime their utmost best to leave you a nice and clean room. At the Ayurvedic Centre we got good advise of the doctor. And Rakhi, the lady who treated me, had magic skilfull strong hands. And at the restaurant there was a young lady of the staff very helpfull, skilfull and attentive.
