Let's say straight away that the cottages are clean and tidy but nothing out of the ordinary. What IS extraordinary is the kindness and hospitality of the hosts. Such a relief in this touristy region to stay in a place where your host genuinely wants you to be happy and provides real services at reasonable prices. Mrs Matthews is pure... More

I stayed here away from the town to relax, the food prepared for you is amazing the owner and his wife are wonderful people and they will do anything they can to help you out. I can not recommend this or their other resort highly enough. It is a little walk from town but then it is nice to be... More

Stayed at Palmy Lake Resort in December 2011. Location right in the midst of the backwaters was great (this is the reason you are likely in Alleppey), and the setting of the cottages and resort was quite picturesque. The cottages themselves are perfectly good: basic but clean and tidy. I had one of the concrete ones and had no complaints... More

The property is made up of a small number of cottage rooms in a peaceful location. Positives: -atmospheric and secluded location a short distance from the town (the town itself has little going for it, so this is good). But in a good position to explore the backwaters. - clean and neat - friendly and helpful owner - Kaiser the... More

Palmy Lake Resort offers a selection of lovely secluded chalets, each with its own hammock and looking out onto lovely green trees. After spending one night on a houseboat (which was amazing!) we were delighted to find that the Resort was just down the road from the drop-off point and was close enough to the town of Alappuzha to get...

We stayed for two nights and had really relaxing time lounging in the hammock near our bamboo chalet which was basic but really clean and just what we wanted. Breakfast was good and macy even showed me how to make fresh putu. Biggi arranged a really nice house boat for us. Even though it is a bit out of town... More

When i think of our stay here, i remember some positives and not so positives. It is basic, but tranquil. We enjoyed the walks in the neighbourhood. We enjoyed the dinner specially prepared by the hostess, although we had to be persistent in persuading her to make it for us (at a cost, of course... and despite the website hyping... More

We booked in for one night but came back for another two after our houseboat. Spacious, clean, comfortable chalets for under 1000 rupees at night! Mercy is really helpful and her husband Biggy arranged a houseboat for us. It is a bit out of town but this means it is quieter and there are always tuk tuks outside and you... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it a lovely peaceful place in which to rest after a hectic time travelling around. The rooms are basic but clean, with mosquito nets for protection. |The gardens are beautiful, hammocks are slung between palm trees. The owners are friendly and helpful - Merci will cook simple meals if requested. We hired... More
