The rooms here are well designed but looking a bit tired and are not that well maintained. The location however is excellent. You can sit around and watch the dreaded rice barges float right past the cabins close to the canal. the staff here are much more switched on than they seem and can organize most things if you ask....

Set on pleasant grounds with, yes, lots of palms, we sat on our verandah and watched the houseboats and lots of assorted watercraft from canoes to ferries sail by. Rooms basic but comfortable and the attached restaurant was surprisingly good. Breakfast a bit limited but when we asked for a fruit salad they made it for us. Staff friendly but... More

Set in lovely palmy grounds with a pond, it's right next to the main canal out of alleppey and beyond that is the huge lake, which makes for a great chill out area as you watch the beautiful house boats chug past. The rooms are great value, with mozzy nets, warm water, clean sheets, fan or ac and lake/canal views,... More

Very expensive, rooms not very clean and terrible breakfast... Everyone must to eat the same food, you dont have any choice for nothing, the dining room is exactly the same as in a hospital and you eat only few things served very fast. In the evening at 11.00 pm they lock the door and you cannot stay out on the... More

On a two-week trip throughout South India, this had to be our favourite place we stayed, and even caused us to cancel our trip to Munnar to grab a few extra days here! Alleppey itself is a very loud stressful town and people mainly go there for backwater trips, but this is ideal as you're actually staying IN the backwaters... More

We were ao impressed by the service here. The staff were great and made us so welcome. Despite booking ahead our a/c room was double booked but it was handled well and actually it didn't matter - the view from our fan room more than made up for it. We booked a houseboat trip through the hotel - we enjoyed... More

Cozy place close to the lake, right by the waterway, and dotted with trees, the Palm Grove is the ideal place to truly unwind. It isn't 5 star, but is quite comfortable, and the staff too takes good care of you. They arranged for a houseboat for a day trip (and a very good boat at that!), and took care... More

My husband and I stayed in a deluxe bungalow here, and had a very relaxing time... The location was wonderful, we could practically dip our toes into the river from our bungalow. The hotel can orgnanise boat trips/hire bikes/organise massages. We did a boat trip which was great. We enjoyed the food here, and thought the service was very professional.... More

This is not a 5* resort, nor does it pretend to be. But it is clean, friendly, very good value for money, has a lovely location at the side of the lake (and close to the houseboat pick-up dock), and is ideal to chill out for a couple of days. The outdoor bathroom is great. Please do not take notice... More
