“Not impressive”

Less than average food for a 5 star hotel. Very expensive food and all add ons Spa is quite impressive Not kids friendly - small activity room where there nothing and whatever there like PS3 not working. Finally horrible coffee - Never tasted such a bad one in India Not worth for the money even if they offer at half the price

“Style over substance”

The design of the hotel looked the part with attractive buildings reminiscent of the rice boats dotted around a small lake/lagoon off the huge Lake Vembanad. Gardens were beautiful and well maintained with golf carts to take you around. There is good local entertainment at night. The staff were all very friendly but seemed unable to deal with any queries and in the end we decided that most of the reception staff were trainees with a lack of senior people available to make decisions. We had the wrong room when we arrived, though this was sorted out the second night. Our meal in the restaurant was cold and we sent it back which caused consternation. No towels in our room, cleaning times were haphazard, were woken at 7am once by a cleaner. We thought everything was very expensive - the food, the spa, the trips offered (very limited in scope and many over £80 per head). We wanted to organise a boat trip on the nearby backwaters which noone could help us with which we found surprising. We've been all over India and it's a can-do country. So we booked a tuk tuk and, this being India, the driver sorted a boat for us with a man he knew. We were left thinking that hotel wanted all guests to remain on site and spend their money there. It's a beautiful looking hotel in an idyllic location but the experience of our stay was disappointing. But maybe if you want your India to be controlled and sanitised, then it's for you.

Area recommendations
There are a number of large, luxurious and expensive hotels around the edge of Lake Vembanad. We stayed near Kumarakom which is a small local town just off the lake and built around the local waterways. I am sure there must be places to eat outside the hotels but think you would need a local recommendation. We bypassed the hotel offerings of (very) organised days out and hired a boat from the jetty in Kumarakom easily and a good rate. We went slowly all over the backwaters just watching life going on all around. It's green, lush, with vividly painted houses, lots of fishermen, bird life and, when we reached the huge lake, we saw many rice boats sailing. Very beautiful and relaxing.
When to go
After and before the monsoon, ie November to March. Outside of these times it'll be very hot and sticky.
Getting there
We flew into Cochi airport. You'll have to take a taxi down to Kumarakom but be sure to go to the pre-paid taxi kiosk which is situated just before you leave the building. You get a fixed, cheaper price that way. It was half what out hotel wanted to charge us! It's a 2 hour drive from the airport.
Getting around
Ask the hotel to order you a tuk tuk - much cheaper and loads more fun.
Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback which we do value. Your comments regarding the deficient services you experienced are certainly not what The Zuri experience is about and we apologize to you that we failed you in this regard. We have addressed the issues with our Team and will be working hard to ensure that our normally high service standards are maintained.

“Will definitely go back... What a marvelous place!”

This place is definitely the best property I have stayed in Kerela. It tops Le Meridian in Kochi, the Kumarakom Lake Resort, and the Taj Vivanta. This place was simply magical, romantic, and definitely put you in 100% relax mode.

“Kumarakom's Best Hotel”

My wife and me planned our first marriage anniversary to kerala and we were just waiting to get to Zuri as had heard a lot about it. Staying there we had a great time and it would be one of our most memorable time spent together. The best part of Hotel ZURI is their Services. We were really impressed with their services and would recommend all to atleast visit once to experience it. The hotel location is also amazing. The food was also amazing and the best part was that being Jain, we got good jain food which was specially prepared for us. The chef was so friendly that he said he would make anything in Jain...just name the dish. They also made our day by making our anniversary cake which was just awesome. We would definitely like to visit it again.

“only for solitude and relaxation”

The service was exceptional and the hotel was clean and well kept. The spa massages were very good. Swimming pool was really small and there were no other activities. When you walk out of the property there is nothing around therefore the hotel needs to organize some activities and provide some form of entertainment. Not a place to visit with children if you want solitude and relaxation then only go to kumarakom
