“Beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Recently visited the retreat Ashtamudi. It was a wonderful experience. The rooms and the service are excellent. From there Neendakara is nearby, visited the fishing harbor also, saw a variety of fishes. It is quite peaceful at the resort, away from all the noises of the city. A wonderful experience.

The hotel is built in a line on the side of the lake serviced by 1 path. There is no shop or place to buy alcohol on site, you have to get a taxi into the nearest small village. Restaurant was good but alcohol free (couldn't even take your own in). Room service was good, we used it alot. They... More

“Exotic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2013

Recently visited Backwater retreat, Ashtamudi and liked the beautiful view of the lake from the banks. Though the summer rains only added fuel to the scorching heat, the stay was peaceful. It was the nesting season of birds and found the nests of ‘near threatened’ Oriental Darters with chicks peeping from inside while doing the cruise boat ride.

“Calm and Peaceful”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

The resort in itself is good. However, because of the location, you have to rely completely on the resort arrangements to go out anywhere - even to buy petty stuff. There are no stores around the resort. Very limited food options, if you want to eat something in the non-restaurant hours, there are only 2-3 items to choose from. Service... More
