6/10 Good

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Nice location overlooking lake. Daily tea in gardens with activities enjoyable. Nearby tours of backwaters was great. Good spa on site too. Great views from room to lake. However villa room was dated and needs some refurbishing, cleaning and decorating. Villa Pool also needed cleaning and maintenance. The restaurant staff were great and friendly, food was ok - though a bit limited selection in breakfast buffet of fruits and pastries, and for evening meals there was a long wait. Overall - nice location but overpriced for the quality of hotel.

We enjoyed a relaxing week at Niraamaya...all the staff (too many to name) ...Prasuna, Atul and Dr Aishwarya, Smita, Blessin, from the names I remember, all went out of their way to assist us with our requests and always with a smile. I especially enjoyed the nasal massage to clear up the sinuses. Our grandson loved being in the pool and the whole family liked the high tea activities. The food was fresh and tasty. We even asked for recipes to try at home.

The staff was friendly but there was no manager on site when we had an issue. The wifi was not very strong and the amenities were lack luster. The website is not an accurate representation of what’s offered. Definitely not a 5 star place.

2/10 Poor

This is not a 5 star hotel. The room was full of smoke from the street. We had several bugs in our room. The water did not stay hot more than a couple minutes. There was only one restaurant and it was buffet only. When we tried to order à la carte they would be out of almost everything. There was no manager on the property when we filed complaints. Very disappointing

4/10 Fair

The resort, ambience and staff was amazing however there isn’t a lot to do. We ordered room service and not only was it really expensive but the food was very sub par. It took nearly 1 day for them to remove the remaining plates from that order. The restaurant also was underwhelming in terms of the food offered. We often ended up going outside the resort to a local shop to eat

4/10 Fair

Overall poor experience for the price we paid. It is overrated. The food at the restaurant was terrible. I specifically requested for them to make it less oily several times, but the food they sent was extremely oily. I showed them pics of how oily it was - pls see attached pics, yet they did not offer to give any discount. The room was not cleaned in spite of us putting the sign outside, we were out from 7am to 2pm but when we returned the room was still not cleaned. The spa is atrociously expensive even by 5 star standards. No bathroom slippers in the room.

Ideal break for a couple or family of 4 or a small group of friends. Great food, great service, great rooms. It is a wellness centre, very peaceful, right on the backwaters of Kerala. Very good value for money. Can improve in choice of TV programmes as most are in local language.

What a beautiful resort this was. We stayed there for our anniversary trip. The staff from welcome to dinning to housekeeping were are super warm and friendly. And, they did an amazing job making us feel extra special - especially with all the decorations for our room and helping plan a beautiful candle light dinner. The view from our villa was gorgeous. The only icky thing was that since pool area is also surrounded with tropical plants, there were some bugs from the plants n all that would be floating in the pool.

Relaxing gem!!!

The hotel was excellent. It is an extremely relaxing place where the staff are very attentive and can’t do enough for you. The food is excellent and there is a variety to accommodate all tastes. We stayed in Achenkovil and the room was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area.
