Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa Kerala

'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!

A lovely small boutique hotel for a laid back short holiday. The staff are wonderful, the manager (forget his name) extremely warm and welcoming. The spa was lovely and I went to sleep which I having a wonderful foot massage. Breakfast was outstanding.

Wonderful booking support from Gayathri and shine. Awesome detaling of proprty by Vinaya and she took care of us at arrival to departure. Pradeep did a wonderful house keeping service, shaju with warmth buggy drive throught the property. Entire dining experience right from Breakfast to dinner and all the crew right from chef to service team really top notch. Especially one chetan who gave surprise by bringing a cake to celebrate my daughters birthday special thanks to him.

The experience was ethereal. The hospitality splendid. The property is full of greenery and has many water bodies - the lagoons and the wembanad lake. The room is of good size for 3 people. The bed was sufficient to accommodate three persons. The wash area super clean and had all forest essential toiletries. The buffet breakfast had all the cuisines, the South Indian ( dosa, vada, idli, uthappam), North Indian (parathas), omelette, breads and cake, croissants, juices, tea and coffee. The taste was good. Enjoyed it. Overall a pleasant experience.

Full marks to hospitality from all team- right from Priya at the front desk, to Amal at the Vembanad Bistro and even Vishnu, by the pool. Vishnu especially was always on his toes attending to requests and queries. Food was also top notch and definitely scrumptious. They have high tea and the marble cakes and banana cakes were delectable. The sunset point, the cultural performance in the evening and J Wellness circle are quite good. However, few more complimentary activities could have been added- like the ones at Coconut Lagoon which involve a sunset cruise, eco tour, yoga/clay making. Nevertheless, the service and overall experience is top notch. It’s a small property with 28-30 rooms spread across a large area and definitely a good option to stay.

Amazing property. Breath taking sunset view at the lakeside! Fun activities right there - Very engaging. Staff were very kind, cheerful and had good knowledge about the place. The food was very curated and thoughful. A mini-Kerala experience indeed.
