    The resort is very clean and comfortable. We had an amazing Kerala style breakfast and dinners, it was delicious. The location is perfect, along the canal, peaceful and close to the train station. Sivan, the manager, was very kind, helped us organize a boat tour, and made our stay easy. They also have kayaks and can provide massages if you're interested. Thank you to all the kind staff who took care of us! Highly recommend this place.

    I would love a kettle to make my own tea or coffee.

    A beautiful property. Currently, a new construction is being added, but this didn't disturb us. Lovely staff, so helpful and friendly. The food was amazing. The activities organised on 9ur behalf were very good. Sivan, the manager, was excellent.

    Only things I would have liked was a shower screen or curtain, despite rooms being modern - bathroom has Indian style open shower. Also tea/coffee making facilities would be a nice touch as breakfast is served from 0830.

    Sivan the manager and his staff did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible! The dinner at the hotel was delicious. It’s an old Kerala house that has been totally renovated so the main building is actually very charming. They are building, so in a year or too it will be much bigger.

    We had a great experience—good service, good food, and a comfortable stay. The highlight of our trip was the early morning sunrise boating that they arranged for us. We enjoyed the peaceful ride for about two hours, and it was truly memorable. Also, we had mistakenly left our ID proofs at the office, but the manager promptly contacted us when he found them and couriered them to us without any delay. We’ve received them now—really appreciate the honest and efficient service!

    We had an amazing stay here! The rooms and clean and cool, the breakfast was also filling and tasty. They organised an evening canoe tour for us as well as lending us their kayaks in the morning to explore the island. The best part of our trip, however, was the fishing trip the owner organised for us. The usual fisherman they use was away so he went out of his way to organise the trip with two other local fishermen. It was really fun and we had fresh mangoes whilst spending many hours in the river exploring. I would defo recommend this place to anyone!

    This place was everythigg no we wanted in Munroe island. The room was immaculate and staff were so helpful. Sivan made sure we had everything we needed. The food there was really really good and very fairly priced with a large array of options. We were also able to do our laundry there. Highly recommend.

    We were dissapointed with the room as we booked a deluxe room and on our arrival were clearly given the double standard room. We ask at reception and he told us we had the deluxe room but this did not correspond with the booking.com photos.

    This house did the job for our stay. We loved the area and the house was comfortable.

    Everything about the property was excellent, but there’s not much else around - we were disappointed by the other restaurants in the area.

    We came for my birthday and it was absolutely lovely. The food was phenomenal and the even made me a local Keralan style cake on my wife’s request! We also did a boat ride around the backwaters which was great fun. So good, would absolutely recommend.

    A pleasant resort near tranquil canals

    The roads leading to the resort are not tarred and not car-conducive. The best way to come here is by train stopping at Munroturuttu.

    1 The resort is in the village neighborhood and so you get to see the villagers' daily lives at the island 2 The resort is built in traditional Keralan architectural style and it is very beautiful at night 3 Mr Shivan and staffs are attentive and welcoming. You get to order local cuisine at the hotel which is very convenient especially for dinner where the island gets very dark. I had the Karimeen and it was delicious 4 There are many activities you can choose from. I went for kayaking in the canals. It was quite challenging as the canals are narrow and there are many low bridges and other canoes plying the waters. But I had a lot of fun.

    Located on the Monroe Island, right on the boating canals that lead to the Ashtamudi lake. I really enjoyed the stay, the bost ride, the friendliness of the staff and the amazing lady who prepared the most delicious Kerala cuisine. It was like staying with a family. They took the extra mile to make it a memorable stay, leaving me a bit sad on leaving. Heartily recommend!

    Well, not withstanding the fact that we wondered why we had come to the Island at all…..there is nothing here and given that we were off to Alleppy straight afterwards (station is 9 mins walk away and the ticket is 20p, it takes two hours)….there wasn’t really anything to moan about. However, there is some building work going on. When the listing says the property has a pool, you’ll know they’ve finished

    This is a wonderful stay, the manager was very kind. The room didn’t disappoint with the standard ‘million light switches’ to fathom out- so common in India. The room was very, very nice and we loved the wrap around Veranda. (never saw the bath robes and the toiletries turnedout to be ‘leftovers’ plus the standard bar of green soap) Went out kayaking with a guide from the hotel which was fabulous. Food is available at the hotel which is reasonably priced. But delivered at a glacial pace. We stayed for four days which was probably too long.
