The setting is exceptionally beautiful and the idea of having these historic houses brought together and renovated on an island is wonderful. The grounds are also beautiful and well-kept. The staff and management are very friendly and it is almost painful to write a bad review, but they just didn't seem to know how to run a hotel. It started... More

Soma Kerala Palace is serene, green and breath taking. We were there off season, so we almost had the whole little island to ourselves and could not get enough of gazing out over the backwaters. The service is friendly and efficient. I had beautifying treatments, which were fruit juice themed and although I could not see definate results, it was... More

First, this is a hotel not a B&B. Located in an idyllic environment, on an island surrounded by Vembanad lake, it is absolutely ideal if you choose to relax and just stay there, making use of its yoga and ayurveda treatments. We didn't. We stayed for one and a half days, wanting to do the backwaters and go to Fort... More

Really interesting spot, hard to get to, but not really part of the usual backwater Kerala region. Barely an island. You take a boat to get there, but the staff walk over a four-foot plank at one point on the island to get back onto the mainland. Very laid-back vibe, really dedicated to yoga and aruyvedic treatments, but not much... More

The location was fabulous. The rooms were large and very comfortable. The staff was exceptional; the manager set-up my houseboat trip. The restaurant had excellent cuisine [both Indian & western] and wonderful service. Cannot wait to go back! More

Soma Kerala Palace is an island on the large lake in Kerala. So you have to take the boat for about 30 minutes to reach! All the buildings are authenthic old Kerala buildings, which were diassembled and build up again there; this gives a lot of charm. The pool is great; the food is good. Only the size of the... More

Few things I will list here. Location is very good. A nice small island. Hotel looks are just the same as shown in pictures. Rooms are very small. Bathroom is the worst. Never seen such a small one. Water gets clogged and would not drain out. Dinner was average. Not bad. They served dinner at the lawns as per our... More

We were a group of 5 couples and 9 kids. The trip starts with a boat cruise from their parking lot (ample secured vehicle parking) in mainland.The view of the resort was breathtaking and from welcome to see off the service was excellent. The most pleasing factor was that we never felt we were in a hotel. The staff are... More
