Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa Kerala

Very nice property on back waters…resort has water body in centre which is good to look at Good quality is good and service was good Rooms are good size but need renovation now as don’t seem like 5 star standard

Away from the city yet easily accessible, it was a good decision to choose taj kumarakom to unwind. Staff are extremely warm and helpful, going out of the way to accommodate our last minute requests. Room is clean and comfortable. Plus point being it's pet friendly . The restaurant also offers a good variety but we chose to eat local food and loved it. There was also a live dance performance in the evening while we were staying. The hotel's vintage charm with the traditional architecture with modern comforts alongside the serene backwaters was just the break i was looking for.

'Wow' and 'Amazing' are inadequate to describe our stay at Taj Kumarkom. Our first point of contact was Priya at the reception - super-helpful and very positive, all our requirements were taken care of in a jiffy…. and with a smile! The property is stunningly beautiful with lots of greenery and canals, the Vembanad Lake and the sound of chirping birds. We stayed in a lagoon facing, well equipped cottage with a private sit-out area and a fantastic view. The room was very comfortable, but I feel the bathroom area could have been better, considering Taj standards. Housekeeping kept the room neat and clean and here I wish to appreciate the efforts of Murugan, amongst others. The 2 restaurants here - Currymeen and Vembanad Bistro serve delicious food and have lots of options. Breakfast was excellent and we were spoilt for choice! Evenings saw us having tea/coffee and snacks at the lake side "Chaya Kada". It was always a pleasure chatting with restaurant manager Vipin and getting tips on local areas of interest/ shopping. Neiki, Amal, Suresh and all the restaurant staff were a pleasure to deal with! We all enjoyed our contact with Accommodation Mgr. Mr Vinpugal, be it for kite flying, taking photos or just chatting. My wife and daughter had a relaxing time at the spa. The property has a good pool and well equipped gym, with the ever helpful Vishnu always on hand. Good guy! Another good experience was the houseboat cruise on the lake/backwaters with delicious lunch and tea thrown in. Thanks to Priya for arranging the same. And last but not the least, we really enjoyed our interactions with the genial GM of the hotel, Mayank Mittal. Jovial & super friendly, he was often on hand, be it for recommending some dish on the menu, suggesting nearby places for visiting or just sharing some light-hearted banter and laughter. A perfect resort to relax and unwind!
