Uday Backwater Resort

We stayed here with a group of friends on a rainy day, and the experience was truly memorable. We had heard earlier that the way to the hotel was very narrow, but we didn’t feel any difficulty — it was absolutely fine. The property has a great atmosphere and is well maintained. We enjoyed the rain, the calm surroundings, and had fun kayaking. The rooms were neat, with small artistic touches that added charm. A special thanks to Mr. Prince, the Housekeeping Manager, who was very helpful and made our stay even more comfortable. The staff were polite and friendly. We also received excellent laundry service, which was quick and well-handled. Mr. Prince also informed us about the upcoming Heritage Villas, and we’re definitely excited to come back and experience that on our next visit. Highly recommended for those looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway with warm hospitality.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The roads to the resort are small and crowded but that's because it's right on the lakeside with it's own jetty. There's a lovely looking reception with a Buddha statue and a small bridge which leads to the bedroom complex and the pool. Our bedroom was really nice with a balcony looking over the lake. Very comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. Very efficient air conditioning which is a must as it was very hot and humid. Unfortunately this meant that there were more mosquitoes than other parts of Kerala but some bug spray helped when we went out for a walk in the evening. The restaurant is really nice with the option of an a/c room, or sitting under the fans. As there wasn't much breeze, we chose the a/c room which was really good. There was a wide range of food choices from the a la carte menu and the dishes were not expensive. Inclusive breakfast was lovely with a chai/coffee station, fresh omlettes and masa dosa made on request. Lots of fruit and service was quick. The best thing we did was go on the sunset cruise in a shikara (small passenger boat) which was included in our package. We had an hour on the lake with just two of us onboard and the sunset was really beautiful. There were some really nice staff here and special thank you's have to go to Kavya on reception, Sulekha (Guest Services Advisor) and Prasanth who is the food and beverages manager. All of these people were willing to go above and beyond, but most importantly, took time to chat with us about what they do and how to make our holiday more enjoyable. Would defnitely come back to this resort, but maybe when it's not so hot.

Stayed for one night after a bad experience in a nearby resort. What a difference in this property. Beautiful hotel with excellent staff. Wonderful food and beautiful location. Would definitely come back for another stay. Highly recommended
