Understated luxury
In the heritage section of this beautiful 25-acre lakefront property, palatial traditional villas, reassembled from old houses, are set around a network of canals. Each villa is outfitted with ornately carved wooden ceilings, colorful mural paintings and enormous garden bathrooms. The meandering pool villas are a modern take on the backwater lifestyle; you can step from your room directly into the curving, amoeba-like swimming pool. You can also relax by a separate lakefront infinity pool, designed so the far edge seems to merge with the body of water on the horizon, or in the spacious ayurvedic center.Fodors
Award winning resort
Like so many of its predecessors, this large award-winning resort comprises exquisite tharavadu-style carved teak and rosewood houses with curved terra-cotta tiled roofs, many of them reassembled originals salvaged from Kerala villages. The interiors are decidedly more luxurious than those of their neighbors, however, with rooms furnished to a very high standard; some feature expensive antiques and lovely examples of temple mural art - Frommers
KarmaKerala Review of Kumarakom Lake Resort
Beautiful position over Vembanad and luxuriously appointed with lots of space for quiet. Excellent service but sometimes the resort seems somehow soulless and almost too professional. The rates are steep, but the meandering pool villas are really great fun if you enjoy long swims. Better known as KLR or Kumarakom resort.
