I really enjoyed my stay here for a wedding party. The resort is spacious with various room options and lots of activities for everyone, including kids. The food was fantastic, especially the breakfast buffet, and the staff handled our pre-wedding event flawlessly. However, the location is a bit distant from the central attractions of Kottayam, and the noise from nearby parties on weekends can be disruptive.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was nice and the rooms were spacious, but the facility is in need of maintenance, and the service was below expectations on several occasions. We had a pleasing view from our room, but some amenities like the pool were not well-kept during our visit. Overall, I think it's decent for a short stay, but improvements are definitely needed.
