Kondai Lip Backwater Heritage Resort

Our stay at the resort was fantastic! We enjoyed a wide range of activities including fishing, swimming, boating, and more. The facilities were top-notch, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to visit again. One suggestion that food spreads can be looked in and more items could have added.

This is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting with water all around. The food was very good and the staff very helpful. We went on the boat trip to see the interesting fishing nets ***** the river.

In back water Island...amidst nature...40 km from Alleppey back water..need to take a 50 m boat ride to reach resort reception...they offer free paddle boat, kayaking in resort back water which is 3 to 3.5 ft and safe and we especially kids enjoyed lots ...heaven for bird lovers .. u can find ***y different birds in resort itself.....they arranged group motor boat ride at back water that was average experience...

Nice swimming pool Very good grape spice welcome drink on arrival Over all superb experience with well courteous staffs and great service..nice view from rooms

We discovered this place on ******* by chance and after looking at reviews booked for our family reunion. Our initial impression was not great as we arrived late at night but in the morning it completely reversed. 1. Amazing staff 2. Great food choices 3. Cheaper than other comparable options 4. Activities including kayaking, boating etc 5. Did I say amazing staff, well they were very nice. 6. Beautiful location Remember to bring your binoculars to watch the bird life.

We had a 1 night booking here and as soon as we arrived we booked for a 2nd night! We were in two minds about whether to do a houseboat or not but as it’s peak season and weekend the prices were high - so we decided to try this hotel instead. It did not disappoint! In fact I would say don’t bother doing an overnight houseboat (I’ve done one before) and stay here! You get everything and more! It is set directly on the backwaters and the view from the rooms are amazing. There are heaps of complimentary activities you can do and an afternoon boat up and down the backwaters. The food was delicious. The pool was great. It was a perfect place to relax.

Excellent property with well maintained rooms. The unique experience is that one has to enter the hotel after a very short boat ride. Its a perfect place to relax. They offers heap of complimentary activities which one can do in the resort and gain experience paddle boating, shikari, kayaking, etc. One can do backwater boating which is a lifetime experience with a beautiful surrounding and so ***y different type of birds. The staff is courteous and food is good.

The reception staff at the reception was incredibly courteous and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in process. Especially welcome drink was so unique and tasty. Staffs are honest and so kind, they called me to refund some money which was over charged by restaurant by mistake. The view of the property provide traditional authentic Kerala experience, nice boating experience and also surrounded by nature Perfect spot if you want to relax, prices are reasonable. Thanks to Chef Mr.Gijo to arrange and cook such a big fish , taste was amazing and delicious. I wish to thank Mr.Renji Paul and Mr.Ken Sunny.

Lovely place abt 55 kms from the Cochin Airport. Tucked away in through a little late with water bodies all around . One unique experience being that one has to to enter the hotel by a very short boat ride. Very courteous staff and helpful. The food is better than most . The setting peaceful. It's right in the middle of Alleppey and Cochin . Even Kumarakom is very easily reached

We had the opportunity to stay at this wonderful resort as a couple in Dec 2022 .Having been to Kerala earlier we had already been to Munnar and Thekkady and wanted to enjoy the backwaters at a place not too far from Kochi Once earlier we had stayed at Vasundhara Sarovar and taken house boat experience also. This time we were lucky to get booking at this idyllic scenic resort just around 1.5 hours from Kochi airport It is surrounded by backwaters and they have their own lake with all the rooms especially the deluxe ones having balcony directly on the lake which enables one to have fantastic early morning sunrise snaps We were very well looked after by Mr Ken ,Mr Remji and Mr Tubin . The staff overall is very helpful amd minimally intrusive yet do their jobs well They have a single restaurant which has a buffet breakfast which we found quite adequate and filling . The meals like lunch and dinner have to be preordered and we had tasty sea food freshly prepared ones -including fish ,crab,pomfret As we are avid birders we arranged a morning walk with Mr Renju who himself is knowledgable and we ***aged to see and spot lots of birds including some exciting new sightings . There are lots of activities one can do like pedal boating,kayaking and fishing. They arrange for a complimentary evening boat ride ***** the backwaters and one can spot lots of Chinese fishing nets The spa is also good though can be improved My suggestion is to add evening tea with snacks lakeside where the in-house guests can relax by the backwater and mingle with one another The rooms are well Appointed and with all basic facilities The swimming pool is good though there want enough lighting once evening set in and the area became dark. It’s. A beautiful place to enjoy the essence f Kerala We went to a neighbouring fishing village and beach in the second evening at the suggestion of Mr Ken and were pleasantly surprised there with the fishing boats nd the sea and beach where we watched the sunset Overall we had a memorable time .
