Coconut Lagoon Kumarakom- A CGH Earth Experience

Absolutely blown away by the location, the facilities and activities but mainly by the outstanding staff. Special mention to the gentleman who led the nature excursions. We didn't know nature walks, yoga, meditation, pottery, basket weaving, afternoon tea etc were included in room rate when we booked so an added bonus to join the 7am walk spotting birds and even water snakes. The guide was so patient and knowledgeable with us. The guy who did the kayaking was also great and helpful. Only wish more guests had watched the dancers in the evening and appreciated them .Couldn't fault any member of staff. All so kind, chatty and helpful. Would love to have stayed longer to explore the area and other activities on offer. The heritage room over 2 floors were spacious and comfy with great air-conditioning. The breakfast buffet and to order was large,varied and delicious.

Beautiful lake and lagoon views property, off the beaten path so was an amazing destination for tranquility and peace if you’re looking for that. It’s a self sustaining property, you’ll have everything you need here. There are boat rides and walks around the property the Kumarakom bird sanctuary is right next door. The staff here is exceptional and they really took care of us. F&B manager Dinesh and his lovely team were always attentive and giving us recommendations and always serving and greeting you with a smile. We had a great Ayurvedic massage at their property. We stayed in the private pool villas and our back yard was a beautiful pond with lilies and birds. The front veranda opened out to lake Vembanad, certainly a memorable stay.

The property is beautiful and peaceful with the sounds of birds chirping and the water flowing past. We loved in particular the lovely staff and the activities available on site. We travelled with an 18 month old, and while there aren’t babysitting or playground type resources for young kids, the nature itself was exciting for our daughter and the staff treated her with such kindness, with flexible earlier meals for her too. We loved our stay and would highly recommend!

This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at as part of our trip around Kerala; but it was worth it. Lovely place, the gardens, room and pool area all great. The buffet food was excellent as was the breakfast. Lots of options re alcohol/drinks. It is next door to the bird sanctuary so do the early morning walk around the ground with the expert. We also booked a boat ride from there which was really great. Loved the Chai woman in the afternoon. arriving by boat was special. The staff were so professional and friendly.

Beautiful landscaping, on the lake but apparently mosquito-free! Very well maintained and clean. Structures have a traditional look and feel, but are comfortably equipped with all modern conveniences. Food was amazing, staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Very personalized service.
