Lemon Tree Vembanad Lake Resort

Un lieu remarquable pour un court séjour dans les Backwaters. L'hôtel est en rénovation et nous avons été logés dans une chambre déjà rénovée. Elle était particulièrement grande, très bien agencée et décorée avec soin et goût (les photos sur certains sites de réservation sont anciennes et ne reflètent pas sa qualité). C'est sans doute l'une des plus belles chambres où nous avons séjourné cette année. De plus, les travaux n'ont pas perturbé notre séjour, les zones en rénovation étant bien séparées de notre hébergement, et tout est fait pour minimiser les désagréments. Le cadre est magnifique, avec une vue splendide sur le lac depuis les chambres et le restaurant. Le petit-déjeuner et les plats du restaurant sont excellents, tout comme les boissons. Enfin, le personnel est chaleureux, serviable et très accommodant. Nous garderons un très bon souvenir de ce séjour et espérons revenir pour nous ressourcer.

Rooms were very good, the food was okay but not excellent, and the breakfast buffet in the morning lacked flavor. Overall, the experience rates 4 out of 5.

The rooms were clean but there is no elevator, so I would advise elderly guests not to stay here. The staff were unhelpful even when informed beforehand; at 6:30 am no one answered the phone, so I had to visit reception to address my issue. The swimming pool was under maintenance and other repairs were ongoing. Plates were left outside the room after meals and were not collected until the next day. There are many areas that need improvement. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We enjoyed a wonderful one-night stay at Lemon Tree Vembanad Lake Resort. Our room was spacious and recently updated. Opening the door gave us direct access to the stunning lake, which was the type of room we were assigned! The bathroom was relatively large, and an extra bed was provided for our child. The food was excellent, and since there were few guests, the buffet was served as an à la carte menu without any drop in quality or flavor. Mr. Lal from FnB was very polite and managed to meet all guests' needs single-handedly. The fish curry served at lunch was exceptional—I've never tasted one so authentic and fragrant in my life! Things to consider before booking: 1. If you want to escape city crowds and enjoy privacy, this is ideal. 2. The resort is 20 km from Alleppey, located in Muhamma. If traveling by train, get off at Cherthala, which is closer. 3. Part of the resort, including the infinity pool, is under renovation, so check before booking. 4. The resort offers an EV charging dock for cars. 5. Pathrimanal Island is nearby but has little to explore; the resort charges a high fee for speedboat visits. 6. There's a toddy shop right opposite the resort where you can try the traditional drink.

Nestled amidst the natural splendor by the backwaters of Vembanad Lake, this place boasts renovated and roomy accommodations that stand out. The delicious food was truly exceptional. A highly recommended spot to relax and rejuvenate.
