Fragrant Nature Backwater Resort & Ayurveda Spa

Absolutely fabulous place to relax, refresh and rejuvenate. The service and hospitality is just great. From the moment I called their central reservation things were super smooth and efficient. We were greeted by Greeshma when we got to their reception and the check in was quick and pleasant. The room Premium Lake view with balcony was clean and well furnished. The grounds are simply lovely and one can spend hours and hours just gazing at the serene waters which extends to the entire length of the property. The sunset cafe is a great place for evening tea and snacks and it turns into a live seafood restaurant at night! The food served was delicious, with generous portions and real value for money. Their executive chef, Ashok is a real gem, enthusiastic and always thinking of what delicacy to be cooked and served to us for the next meal! They have good gym and a few indoor games including soft archery which I thoroughly enjoyed! They also have pool, a small library and a center for Ayurvedic treatment. All their staff from Akhil, Greeshma, Ashok, Anakha, Muvitha, Ashwini and so many others whose names now slip my mind went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable. We spent many hours bicycling around the resort, the beautiful sea and the backwaters. Picturesque Varkala cliff, Pozhikkara, the Paravur backwaters all are within 10 to 15 kms. The last 500 meters to the resort is a bit narrow but manageable considering there is not much traffic on that stretch. I would rate our stay at Fragrant nature resorts as one among the best.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at this resort. The rooms were excellent, well-maintained, and the service throughout our stay was outstanding. The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and always willing to help. A special thanks to Greeshma and Aswini for their warm hospitality.We were visiting to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and when the team learned about it, they thoughtfully arranged a complimentary birthday cake for us. It was a beautiful gesture that made the occasion even more special.The complimentary boating and spa experiences were wonderful additions to our stay. The boating and spa staff were professional, welcoming, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the experience.Overall, it was a truly pleasant and relaxing stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would be happy to recommend this resort to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

We booked this resort just a night before and boy did it turn the best decision of the trip EVERR!! We were travelling with our year old son and he thoroughly enjoyed the resort and the warmth of its staff towards him. The resort is very well maintained and located on a lakeside from where you can go for backwater boating/kayaking. The views and the greenery from and in the resort are exceptional. The rooms are made in a traditional kerala style home format which I loved the most. They are very spacious and have amazing lake views. Despite of the greenery we didn’t face a problem of insects/mosquitoes on the property which was very unusual but appreciated. It is a very baby friendly resort as they have a swing, high chair and cot available in the restaurant where you can feed your baby and put him to sleep while enjoying your own meal. The food was also very delicious and homely just the way we like it. The chef was super helpful in preparing food for the baby and the catering staff were also very warm and polite. I loved my stay here and the only con was that we didn’t discover this place sooner on our trip so that we could have stayed more than 1 day.

I feel the same way property was just perfect in all ways . Prices were reasonable and quality was very good. It’s much better than big brands like Taj as nowadays they are overcharging and looting. Budget friendly
