We stayed here for two nights. The location is very nice but I think that is a parity with several other resorts in kumarakom. The property lacks the wow factor. Rating is average as it was not very good :) but just above average. Restaurant -> The restaurant has a very limited menu with restrictions on when you can order... More

My husband and me stayed here for 2 nights and we loved it. We stayed in the canal view room, and contrary to what a few travellers experienced, the canal definitely was not stinking. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was beautiful, a bit elevated and all the while it smelt fresh with some Ayurved perfume. We didn't find... More

The property is simply beautiful. The location is easily the best in the vicinity. The ideas and the planning of the resort are simple and the lakefront cottages are the best. It's as if you are on the lake with nothing in between you and nature. You can spend the day lazing in the pool which is adjacent to the... More

A relaxing natural retreat well tucked in among lush marshlands. That would be the best way to describe waterscapes Kumarokam. One should note that this resort was built on top of thick and pristine marshlands, and hence every care has been taken not to disturb the natural habitat of the abundant fauna which calls this place as home. Why u... More

Just loved the way the rooms are built here.. Individual cottages raised at a 1st floor level. The welcome was pleasant and the rooms clean and hygienic. Would recommend a stay in this resort. It is located inside the limits of Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. So every morning, as early as 5-7 am you can just walk the defined track (approx... More

Waterscapes resort is located right on the Vembanad lake, and impresses you with the layout first-up. The cottages are set up above canals, and you have climb up the stairs to enter the cottages. The pathways, restaurant all are set up along/above the canals, and it gives the resort a different look. The swimming pool is quite big, and right... More

Very impressive look. A massive property. But very badly maintained. The retaurant is one of its type with long glass windows facing a water body from all sides but the water is so badly kept that you feel unhygenic. I went there for dinner so I escaped the filthy look of the water Expensive for its profile. Must be the... More
