Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa Kerala

We chose Taj Kumarakom to unwind and escape from our fast-paced life. True to their website description, this resort beautifully integrates with the local wildlife—indeed, we saw more birds and wildlife here than at the nearby bird sanctuary! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with refreshing coconut water and charming coconut garlands. Seamless check-in, escorted us to our room, and introduced us to the delightful "Chaykada" for evening tea. Our room was super spacious and centrally located, providing easy access to the front of the resort—where the front office, restaurant, and activities area are situated—as well as to the back, featuring the tranquil backwaters and Chaykada, the evening tea area. We later discovered that the late Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had stayed in the same room during his visit to Kumarakom for medical treatment. Each morning began peacefully with the melodies of birds. Our days effortlessly flowed from swimming to a delicious breakfast, followed by badminton or cycling, rest, gym sessions, another swim, and dinner. We genuinely can't believe how quickly our week passed! The housekeeping team, activity team, wellness team, and restaurant team are awesome. Entertainment during Dinner was wonderful. While we enjoyed cycling or walking around the resort, we greatly appreciated the buggy service, which was always promptly available. It was truly difficult for us to leave this wonderful place, and we are already looking forward to returning soon!

Where to begin? I didn’t know this hotel brand before I stayed there and now I want to go back to India and stay at their other properties. The grounds are absolutely lovely, with lakes & lagoons offering great opportunities to bird watch. The property is within 5 minutes distance from the Bird Sanctuary, which means you can observe many of them from your room, or just walking around! Bee-eaters, kites, kingfishers…we had to walk with our camera everywhere! The room we had was modeled from a traditional Kerala style cottage, split between 2 rooms, it was delightfully appointed, decorated and soundproofed. The outdoor/indoor shower area transformed a simple shower into a luxurious experience. The service was attentive and helped us select the most interesting activities and transfers. The restaurant is amazing (take everything from the Currymeen menu, not the other, if you want to experience the most delightful Kerala food!)

Beautiful and heavenly place with peace and tranquil surroundings. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had specifically booked the heritage suites, in the original Baker's bungalow, but the reception staff was initially tried to offer me a sub standard private villa, but I protested. Front desk manager immediately resolved the issue and offered me the originally booked heritage suite. It was a great. Facilities were top class. Food was delicious and exceptional. Spa and massage facilities were amazing..i had a foot massage by a masseur name by Imran from North East state of Manipur, who was very good and professional. That massage was one of the best I have had. Highly recommend the spa facilities. Would like to return.

Really peaceful and tranquil location. Loved the lagoons, spa in the resort. Food was pretty great too and they try to accomodation dietary restrictions. Enjoyed kayaking in the lagoon too & morning boat ride

A very pleasant stay. Helpful staff. Roomy cottage with private pool.
