Independent Vembanad Island hotels

Had a very comfortable stay. Excellent property and well maintained. The staff was outstanding and made our stay super comfortable. Highly recommended!

Well maintained grounds, beautiful gardens and paths and the construction is fashioned as traditional Kerala home villas. This is a must stay property. Food was good and they have lots of activities for the families. The staff is pleasant but not uniformly friendly and not everyone is attentive as other places. I feel they could work on this piece. It seemed some were not happy working at the property and were just getting by. All that being said, I would return to this resort and wish I could...

Beautiful property in the middle of nature. The gardens and pool were very nice. The food was excellent and a family favorite of all our travels this trip, including Mumbai. Bangalore, and Chennai. Staff very helpful, we forgot my daughters earrings there and the night receptionist, Mr. Kuku, was kind enough to mail/post it to a relative in India. The food manager was also exceptional, very concerned about our food needs and even packed a breakfast meal because we had to checkout early...

I enjoyed my stay. The property is beautiful. The staff is attentive. And, the food was delicious.

I was told that dinner and breakfast was included but at restaurant, I had to pay for the dinner.

With only 28 rooms/stand-alone bungalows this is a 5-Star experience with unbelievable service in the backwaters of Kerala. We had a bungalow overlooking the large lake and it was luxurious- like a private house on a hotel property. Private pool, outdoor bathroom, shower and bathtub with an overhead fan was charming. The grounds used to be owned by a family 6 generations back and the grounds are spread out over a narrow plot - plenty of bicycles available to shorten distances from room to...

Literally amazing from the moment we pulled in. The staff is incredible and the main highlight of our stay. We were there for a short time and wanted to pick up spices and snacks from this region before we left and the staff found us all the things we wanted and brought it to our room and made it easy for us to get the whole experience!

I was really amazed by the service and attention to detail. The resort is teeming with natural beauty and I enjoyed the beach as well. Overall it was amazing.

Such a delightful property. The staff was outstanding, took care of our every need. Complimentary brownies for each of us on the day we left with bon voyage written on the plate, how thoughtful, thank you very much! Lovely spacious rooms, pools were excellent. Perfect peaceful break, note that there isn't much in the way of games or activities, this is a place for peace and tranquility, not for activities. Will certainly return. Note: the superior villas are on the first floor, not ground...

Club room was clean and comfortable .staff was very professional and helpful. Breakfast menu could use some variety

Relaxing resort

Had a great stay, courteous staff, clean, quiet with nice views of the lake.

Decent hotel and cooperative staff

Very good food and clean and no mosquitoes

This is my second time to Punnamada and I am anxious to go back for a third. The location is far enough from town to offer tranquility, but close enough for convenience. The Lakeside rooms are worth every extra rupee. The staff will jump over the moon to please you without making a big production. Each and every one is wonderful.
