The property is breathtaking and the first impression is really good. The rooms also are clean and neat. The lake front room is almost on the lake and it feels as if you are on a boat and not on land. The tour boats are a nuisance though; as they come one after another and suddenly you will have a...

We were there in April 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay for 2 nights. Run by KTDC and having its own golf course, the history goes back to 1744 of the Dutch Palace. We enjoyed nice view of the Kochi Marina front from our balconies of our Marina villas. Food was good, not excellent though. It has an Ayurveda centre... More

The resort has a wonderful location - it is on an island (duh!) facing the Ernakulam marine drive. It offers a very nice panoramic view stretching across the marine drive all the way to the Cochin shipyard. In the evenings and after dark, the scenery is breath-taking. The swimming pool is really small, and is useful only for taking a... More

Located at a great place and big area. But the hotel seems to be over-hyped. Main attraction found was a swimming pool that is not that great as in Hotel Samudra. Food was good on the expensive side. Rooms were great .

Had seen the KTDC website pictures for the various resorts so many times...it was almost unbelievable some place could really be as pretty as the pics posted online! But this one really is...the resort is amazing, the staff very friendly and helpful and the facilities awesome! The one -ive would be is 40 kms from the airport, so kindda a... More

This KTDC property is located on the property of an old Dutch Palace. Its about 5 mins speed boat ride to the city and is also connected by road. Really exclusive location for a short holiday and unwinding. Staff are really helpful and polite. Rooms are also large and nice. Food and breakfast are also good. This place is totally... More

Heavenly location with water on all sides, lovely sunset views and historic buildings. Very poorly maintained. Mold in some rooms although outside could be dangerous for people with breathing problems. Food not bad. Prices very reasonable. Staff good but no initiative since it is government run. On the whole a good deal given the price for such a great location.

What else do you want one your first day of holiday. Beautiful island, fantastic view and amazing ambiance. Add to it well maintained spacious room with a large balcony. I think this is the dream start to our holiday.I would strongly recommend this hotel for leisure trip to Kochi. Caution : This being Government Property you need to keep your... More

There is good landscape garden around the place which has a nice putting circuit which if free for guests who have there own clubs. The... More
