Lemon Tree Vembanad Lake Resort, Kerala

The hotel is in a fantastic location right on the lake, great to watch sunrise and enjoy relaxing at the pool while watching fishermen and birds. The rooms are fine, comfortable and fairly spacious but nothing special, we had a pool view room with patio doors opening straight to the pool which was nice. The pool is great right on the edge of the lake and clean. The grounds are nice and we enjoyed using the hotel bikes to explore the surrounding area. The restaurant is good, perhaps a little on the expensive side if compared with general food prices outside of hotels in India however the quality is excellent and over 4 nights we did not get bored of the menu so no complaints, the decor could do with an update and they don't sell alcohol so bring your own. The staff are good, very friendly and helpful, overall a great stay and good value, would happily book again.

Pros: the view is awesome from the lake. Morning time - the sun, the lake, the quietness and just being a spectator watching nature at its best. Cons: we literally wasted 2 hours to find this hotel, no boards, no direction guides, even the hotel staff was not able to provide the directions properly. Good food but expensive

The "superior room"had a poor view, was not properly maintained, the floor had not been swept and the bathroom had no soap etc.

Male masseurs are better than the female ones..

have no good restaurants around the hotel and citrus cafe didn't really have much options for vegetarian also the food was not worth the money . they do have great collection of dvds for time pass. wifi service was given but was hardly usable

we felt disappointed.room was well kept but the we found out that the flush was not working properly.it was corrected on day one only to go bust on the second day. after a strong reminder it was repaired again. the shower just did not have enough water pressure to have a good shower to hearts content.they would need proper maintenance. don't know if they are changing the water regularly because we did not feel it to be fresh the food was way too expensive.

Management came through in the end however we had the following problems: .One duty manger was arrogant, was insincere. .heavy rain caused bedroom to be flooded near the garden doors. .Jacuzzi shower was smelly and did not work properly. .we tried to book aurvedic message three months prior but they did not allow us, told usit was not necessary, on the night they told us booking was essential, however in the end they did fit us in after making complaints to the upper management.

It has got a wonderful view just besides the pool. Excellent and caring staff, and good food variety.

Came to the hotel after a long drive , but after checking into the hotel we were totally refreshed. It is an amazingly quiet and a beautifully located property, and the highlight is the swimming pool . Would strongly recommend .

Extremely hospitable staff. Great view. Personally preferred lake view than back waters view. Enjoyed pool experience as it overlooks the lake.
