I had an amazing experience at Coconut Lagoon, where the beautiful surroundings and attentive staff made for a relaxing getaway. Our cottage offered stunning views and a unique outdoor bathroom, which was a lovely touch. While the dining experience was mostly enjoyable, I felt there was room for improvement in food quality and bar service. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely return!

Our cottage was beautifully designed with a fantastic open-air bathroom and provided a comfortable stay. However, the darker wood interiors made the room feel a bit dim during the day.

My stay at Coconut Lagoon was truly enriching, set against the beautiful backdrop of Lake Vembanad. The resort is a blend of luxury and sustainability, with immaculate surroundings and a serene atmosphere. While the rooms were spacious, we did have some unexpected visitors like fruit bats, so I recommend aiming for a river-facing room. The dining experience had its highs and lows – while the local cuisine was quite tasty, there was room for improvement in variety. Overall, it’s a place I'd revisit for its relaxing vibes and excellent Ayurvedic treatments.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the setting by the lake is absolutely beautiful, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The rooms were clean and offered a nice view, but the dining experience was not up to par, with some items off the buffet being charged extra. The outdoorsy bathrooms were interesting but had their downsides too, like mosquitoes. Overall, I enjoyed the nature activities, but there are some areas that could use improvement.

Coconut Lagoon is a true paradise nestled in the beautiful backwaters of Kottayam. The cottages are stunningly decorated in traditional Kerala style, creating a serene atmosphere that feels like a retreat. The staff’s hospitality truly stands out, making our stay incredibly comfortable. While the dining was a highlight, showcasing delightful local cuisine, I did wish for a few more options to choose from. The activities available, like the sunset cruise and kayaking, added immense value to our experience. Overall, it’s an unforgettable getaway, but do prepare for a bit of travel to reach the location.
