Hotels near कूथाम्बलम, Alappuzha

Excellent location, beautiful facade, good photography points. They have a lot of activities - some chargeable and one can just spend a day here. They also have family game evenings which is a perfect way of mingling with fellow guests while have fun. However, there was no water arrangement and we were told by hotel staff that we need to go to the restaurant to get water bottles. It would have been ideal to have basic amenities arranged when arranging events or call the restaurant to send some bottles ! The property of this size and beauty needs to be maintained. Mosquitoes especially around the pool were a big put off. Minimal lighting especially around the pool did not help either. Surprisingly they do not provide pool tubes/ floats, but ask guests to purchase it ! Staff is courteous but not prompt. So much so during complimentary high tea, the staff moved out while the guests were still sitting at the end. Rooms are very ordinary- no decor or aesthetics. Mattress are sacking, and double bed has 2 different mattresses making the bed uncomfortable in the middle. Food is very average, buffet menus for various meals are not lavish. We wanted to opt for Ala carte at dinner, but were told it will take atleast 30 mins prep and we had to compulsorily opt for buffet. Most of the dishes required refill during buffet time which the staff was not very prompt at and had to ask the staff to refill it. We had to wait for 15-20 mins to get Kerala Paratha. To conclude, a lot is left to be desired. Given the beauty this property encompasses, I wonder if it was run by a better management like Taj, etc. , it would have been one of the finest properties around.

Overall, the Upper Deck Houseboat experience is highly recommendable for anyone visiting Kerala's backwaters, promising an unforgettable journey through one of India's most picturesque landscapes

We absolutely loved the relaxed feel of this place. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool area is just brilliant, a real sun trap. The food was great too. We had a beautiful room. Yes there is a flyover just outside which is such a shame. But it did not detract from a fabulous stay. Great if you want a little escape from the business and having a bar is a huge bonus in this part of the world.

What a beautiful experience we had at Marari. The staff are so warm and courteous. They knew we had come for our first anniversary and they arrange a special cake for us and made it extra special. Adarsh and Jithin from the serving team we so warm and caring. Shibu who was a multi talented person took us around and helped us in spotting so many birds and other creatures I would highly recommend his activities specially owl parliament (owl spotting) We signed up for yoga classes aa well which was so good. This is a great place for couples as well as families Lots of activities. The food was so fresh and tasty. Would highly recommend
