Top Arpookara Hotel Reviews

Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Grand Gokulam Kumarakom is truly magnificent. The location on the backwaters is breathtaking, and the architecture, with its beautiful use of wood and traditional design, makes the entire property feel special. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were exceptional, always attentive, genuinely warm, and constantly looking for ways to help. The level of hospitality was beyond anything I expected. The food was also among the best I’ve had at a hotel. The breakfast buffet had an incredible variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. We stayed in a lake-view cottage, and it honestly felt like living like a king. Waking up to those serene, breathtaking views of the backwaters was an experience in itself. Overall, Grand Gokulam Kumarakom is a truly exceptional property. Beautiful surroundings, stunning architecture, outstanding service, and fantastic food — everything came together to make our stay unforgettable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious experience in Kumarakom."

Punnamada Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely lake-side setting - very peaceful. Reception organised a kayak tour for me, which was good fun. I'd an issue with the TV, and the hotel Technician was at my room within 5 minutes of me mentioning it. He determined it was broken, and brought a new one and installed it within 30 minutes. Had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the on-site restaurant, and all were lovely meals. The restaurant team were also very helpful - one noticed that I'd started some toast while I took my plate of food to my table, and so she stepped in, collected some butter and jam, and added my toast to a plate which she brought it over to the table for me. Attentive and helpful. The pool was also lovely and warm."

Coconut Lagoon - Cgh Earth

"We have enjoyed our stay and all the staff were friendly and helpful especially Ms SUKANYA had given us some personal care and attention."

"The constant power outages and inconsistent AC in the room was not enjoyable. Otherwise the food was delicious, the staff was very helpful, the property was scenic and enjoyable. The pool area needs some upgrades and the poolside service took a long time for drinks. The mattress in the room was comfortable and the house keeping staff did a good job cleaning the room everyday. Thanks"
