"This resort is a nice option for people looking for a night's stay away from the city. Not worth for more than a night's stay. Good landscaping. The food is average and sometimes served cold. The cottage rooms are not very clean. The management needs to look into these issues for turning this into a wonderful property."

"We were very impressed with our 4 days at The Zuri Kumarakom.
We were surprised to be told that the property is about 25 years old, because it's superb maintenance suggested a much younger age to us.
As we rode into the property, we were a bit shocked to see a lot of policemen around. And that turned into panic when they accosted our taxi cab at the hotel porch. I was looking for hotel staff to help us avoid the policemen and to whisk us into the reception. As the policemen unloaded our luggage from the taxi, we broke into laughter realizing that they were actually security staff from the Ambassador Security services!
At the reception, Ms Sanu greeted us and readily accepted my request to see the other room types before we occupied the one I'd booked online via Expedia. We liked the villas the most, but it was way more expensive than what the two of could justify splurging.

At 4:30pm we went to the Lime Cafe for the complimentary high tea. There, we were offered a sunset ride on the shikara boat. It was quiet inexpensive at Rs 250 plus taxes per person. When we boarded, we realized we were the only ones on board. It was an amazing ride and Aswin was our impeccable host boatman.
Our dinner was at the Lime Cafe and we ordered A La Carte as b"

"Good service, nice room and very good buffet. Pleasant relaxing heritage hotel, slightly away from main tourist area of Fort Cochin (which is still easy to get to). Excellent value."

"Grounds are beautiful and plenty of area to walk. Occasionally power outages would reset the air conditioning system and I needed to put in the temperature again which was inconvenient during the night. The outage would also blow the fuse so the lights would not turn on. The staff was quick to fix the issue.Service was excellent."
