Vembanad Island Holiday Rentals

"The hospitality, housekeeping and general staff were excellent. This Taj is not a 5 star property. As much as one can appreciate its history, it is a dated property, yet it sits in the middle of a bird sanctuary. Be aware, the luxury villas have bathrooms that are open air. They do not have AC! This is most uncomfortable in a tropical climate. The hairdryer is attached to the wall making it impossible to dry your hair in a cool environment. This is not my idea of 5 star."

"Beautiful location and lovely staff. The room was huge but basic and run down. Great view of the lake. Only one restaurant to eat at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was ok, breakfast not fantastic but the dosa was great. The pool is nothing like the photos. It is cloudy, dirty, full of insects and had a large number of crows bathing in it at any given time. No facilities open near pool - currently being renovated and no umbrellas. Temperature was hot and not refreshing in the heat of April. House keeping didn’t come once during our 3 night stay. We had to ring for towels and water every day. The resort is also dry, so no beer or wine served. The beds were very comfortable and there is a great resort next door in walking distance that has multiple restaurants to choose from and a bar on the water. My sons liked the fish and goose feeding at “high tea” each day from 4:30-5:430, but more like 4:50pm"

"Good breakfast spread, overall friendly staff. But the property is already 20 years old but clean."

"We absolutely loved our relaxing stay. The pool and the views are spectacular. The staff could not be more helpful. We only wish we could have stayed longer. "

"Stayed there with my family of 3 on NY eve last year. The property was well maintained. While we didn’t get to try all the amenities due to the NY eve rush, the complimentary boat ride on the lake Vemnad was amazing (I would highly recommend to book in advance as it fills our fast). Food was ok. I would recommend this place who wants a quiet, family friendly place in Allepey. "

"The staff were good, friendly and polite 😊 Our room was clean and decent. Food good. We were a bit confused about the itinerary so maybe making it clearer would be helpful to future guests. Thank you 😊"
