Simply Fantastic! These are the words that come to my mind for Taj. I went to Cochin on a business + leisure trip n chose Taj for accommodation trusting the brand name on account of its standards. We travelled 6 days non stop and visited Munnar,thekkady & alleppey as well I had made my booking online through Goingkerala.com and had... More

The hotel is picturesquely situated on the shores of the lake Vembanad, next to a bird sancutary and has a charming array of cottages by a lagoon and a wide variety of activities and dining options. From our entry at the Taj in Kumarakom to check -out we were extremely well taken care of. The attentiveness of the staff to... More

We were quite looking forward to this holiday. Wanted it to be the best.. After all, family holidays done happen that often! Takes so much coordination of schedules. So when we checked into Taj Vivanta at Kumarakom, we were hoping things go just as we wanted. We checked into the base category room. Bit disappointing... we felt disturbed. Is this... More

We had one of the best stay in Taj, true to its tradition and service quality we experienced one of the best stays. We even remember this today inspite of this happening an year back. There were activities done for children and we had good boat rides in the lake. The food was excellent.

Straight after Taj kochi, Taj kumarakom was a little let down. Rooms - was checked into an old, dingy room with a safe that was not working. We were finally shifted to another room(transit) before being upgraded to the suite. Of course it was beautiful, huge with a mind blowing covered cum open bathroom. Food : the building hosting bakers... More

We stayed at Vivanta by Taj from may 30th to june 2nd and it was peaceful. That is all! It tooks us 2 hours and half from the airport to this hotel in a small car driven by a smily yet bad smelling driver.Our first impression by reaching the hotel was that we were cheated.

I had a hard time finalizing on Taj Kumarakom when most of the reviews and my friends had suggested the other two five stars in the city. Today, I am glad I chose Taj Kumarakom. This was by far the best hotel\resort stay I ever have had in my life so far! Excellent property and location. Excellent rooms and bathrooms.... More

On my flight to Cochin on 28th May 2013, I met a student of mine who was traveling with her family to Munnar and then Kumarakom. The conversation that ensued took me down memory lane as she mentioned they were going to stay at Vivanta Kumarakom. Seems like yesterday, the memories of the stay at Taj Vivanta Kumarakom bring a...

We visited Kerala for a week over spring break, and the backwaters was one of two places we visited. This was another place we chose based on its high rating on Trip Advisor, and not surprisingly, we found that it was well deserved. Stayed here for three days. Check-in was smooth, they offered us welcome drinks and garlands, and we... More
