The Zuri Kumarakom, Kerala Resort & Spa 

Zuri Hotels and Resorts previously known as Zuri Hotels and Resorts, is built on 18 acres, this five-star deluxe resort with one of the finest spas in the country is located in 'Kumarakom', right on the shore of the 205 square kilometer Vembanad Lake. It may be expensive bit if you want the best you must pay for it. Radisson Plaza has 18 Lagoon View Rooms on the ground floor of the hotel block, 16 Deluxe Lagoon View Rooms on the upstairs of the hotel block, 28 Lagoon View Cottages with balconies over the lagoon and 10 Lake View Pool Villas which have individual private pools and their own private view of the lake and the sunset.

Zuri Hotels and Resots is set on Lake Vembanad (2 hour drive from Cochin airport), with its own little lagoon - incredibly quiet, gorgeous palm trees and plants everywhere, and a bit of wildlife too (birds, turtles, butterflies, frogs, etc). There is nothing around except a few other hotels and small villages, so this is really a place to come relax (sit at the pool, take boat rides, etc.).

All rooms arranged in clusters around the lagoon (with the priciest standalone villas right on the lake itself). Gorgeous pool with great elephant fountains (attached to spa) right in the middle of it all. Two restaurants - one casual one on the inland side, one seafood restaurant lakeside. There is also a billiards room and a cigar lounge. Everything looks perfect. Tastefully decorated in a sort of tropical style, with great bathrooms (separate tub and big, modern shower).

There isn't much good restuarnts nearby, so high-quality food is of course important here, and the Zuri Hotels and Resots doesn't disappoint. The main, casual restaurant has an absolutely excellent.

It won't give you a particularly authentic cultural experience but it is uniquely beautiful and incredibly relaxing.
