Waiting time at the restaurant post order could be better!

Every element of the stay was beyond expectations - the soothing impact pervades every part of the property. The staff are extremely friendly and warm with a positive vibe at all times. A two day stay was the right duration as well to experience all aspects - the tea kadai with the ever smiling lady making tea and tasty snacks, feeding fishes, the spiritual ambience at the two main temples within the campus and the smiling staff at the restaurant. Special call out to Ranjith and Selvakavi at the restaurant. Thank you very very much. Last but not the least - unbelievable company of peacocks :). Thank you once again. We will be back.

There are some areas where we feel improvements could make the experience even better: 1. Customer Service Responsiveness: While some staff members were outstanding — in particular, Naturist Karthik and Guru from the restaurant — the overall responsiveness could be improved. Requests such as drinking water or buggy service often took a long time to be addressed. Some staff could benefit from further training in hospitality industry etiquette and proactive guest service. 2. Breakfast Service Timeliness: Breakfast is advertised to start at 7:30 am, but on multiple days certain items were not ready until close to 8:00 am. As many guests stay here for temple visits and need to leave early in the morning, timely availability of breakfast would be greatly appreciated.

Our recent stay at Mantra Koodam was memorable and serene. The resort is truly wonderful — beautifully maintained, peaceful, and an ideal retreat. The facilities are excellent, and the commitment to a plastic-free environment is commendable. We also appreciated the thoughtful in-room touches such as herbal body wash and shampoo, which reflect the eco-friendly philosophy of the property.

The location of the resort makes it an absolutely serene setting to relax and wind down from the hustle and bustle of the city life. I had a great time here and would absolutely recommend it.

Stayed in April 2025

Only the location was very remote, away from any road or landmark and almost 12 km away from Kumbakonam. So if you do not have a car all the time at your disposal, you are confined inside the resort gates only. Rest everything is excellent.

I have stayed here multiple times and always had the best time!

Mantra Koodam is a lovely place. We loved the staff, the facilities and the surroundings. We went on nature walks with Karthick in the morning and in the evening and we saw all sorts of beautiful birds and daily life in the small village next to the hotel. Karthick was a special guide and he shared with us not only his expertise with birds and natural resources, but also his insights about Indian culture. The reception people are super friendly as are as the waiters and waitresses. There is a beautiful pond and you can feed the fish, which was a really nice experience. You can also light the wish candles in the evening, which was a special and meaningful ritual for us…we did it each night we stayed.

It’s not advisable to book a room rate which includes dinner in the package. Instead of the a la carte menu you are presented with a set meal of bits and pieces with absolutely no choice for not much less cost. The service at dinner was also chaotic - a very disappointing experience. There are lots of liquids and potions scattered around the room for which outrageous health claims are made with no scientific basis.

Luxuriously appointed accommodation in beautifully landscaped grounds. Lots of staff around and a great breakfast.

Location was a bit far from the main temples

We were there over the Pongal festival and the resort hosted any activities and ceremonies celebrating the harvest. It was truly an honour to participate in the procession and observe traditional offerings. The room was good and there were lots of aryurvedic offerings to try. Staff were exceptional and shared much of their culture with us.

Everything perfect. Perfect place. Perfect staff

All good, though away from the sights of Kumbakonam (tuk tuk ride away of around 15 mins)

Fabulous rooms that look like little cottages, with wonderful outdoor showers (plus indoor one) and verandahs to sit in. Well spaced our from one another with pleasant gardens around you. Great pool that was quiet when we were there. Excellent breakfast and good supper.

We really had a great time. Not only the facility was amazing, they were also offering several activities to get in touch with the local community and enjoy the local culture. Our kids loved them all!

Nothing. Bed was a little firm, but that is an individual choice.

Extraordinary grounds with beautiful heritage style (though newish) buildings. Staff always helpful.
