Best Pet friendly Hotels in Kumarakom

It’s a lovely heritage property on the edge of a beautiful lake. First impression ruins a holiday and this was the case here the customer was told they lied, that we arrived two hours after we actually did. None accepted the fact that a fault was made, turned it to our mistake for not booking direct or accepting a ‘better’ room. The GM was aggressive redacted offers made on first evening, relished making two senior women feel devalued and insulted. The owner has not replied to our email. We booked transfers through hotel, got to dock waited, left, after sometime we turned back? - waited again the new people joined us, we finally arrived much later than expected. On the last morning we were informed we had not booked a return transfer. UNBELIEVABLE petty much! We were offered an upgrade - I would have A. Broken an ankle or some other injury going down spiral stairs to the bathroom during the night. B. Slept on the sofa downstairs C. A room that THEY had said would be unsuitable for our chronic health conditions We managed to get some food and drink much later and FiNALLY got the correct room at 9pm. The room was nice lots of quirky Knick knacks kettle fridge safe comfortable bed and a jungle shower. The pool is large mainly empty, so good swimming the property is full of families honeymooners and foreigners. It has a limited range of activities. The restaurant staff are kind and attentive there is variety of food but they know little of allergies and do not cater well for them. On the third day I got ragi gluten free pancakes . Taj hotels are much better in that respect. While they have wheel chairs etc accessibility may be limited. It has been my worst experience ever a beautiful property with sexist mysoginistic heart

Krishna From Reception had amajor role in providing home away from home feeling. Hospitality was warm and so extraordinary. Excellent property Authentic food had a very happy stay Will defined come back in future. .. If you want an experience of lifetime please do visit the property

This place clearly is past its prime from the looks of it. Our Deluxe Lagoon view room is past its ‘best by’ date. The furniture is fraying, the mirror has big stains, the room had a stink when we checked in, the aircon works only at one setting - 19 degrees. The woodwork has been shoddily repaired, the glass door has turned yellow with grime. The maintenance and upkeep of the property evidently de***ds serious attention. Sadly, when I attempted to show some pictures of the room to the ***agement, it barely caused any concern. I was informed that the extended Covid lockdown - and the tropical climate and moist air, has taken a huge toll on the property. In other words, we really can’t do much! However, supposedly a revamp of the property is underway - doesn’t help us though. While the explanation maybe valid, the nonchalant response was galling and totally unexpected. And any way, why shouldn’t we, as paying guests, expect better? At breakfast this morning, the papaya was un-ripened, the pineapple was overripe and discoloured. And the best. - they couldn’t find decent, fresh and ripe local bananas to serve! At lunch, the Thai green curry was spicy - so spicy and none of us four could eat more than one spoon. We refused to eat it and asked them to take it back. Yet amazingly, it appeared on our bill - no apologies offered. Naturally, we refused to pay for the dish. Quite eventful first 24 hours.
