Nice resort out in the forest, close to a small lake, quiet and relaxing. We spent christmas eve at this resort and in the evening the hotel had arrange a nice performance of three dancers, traditional india dancing. We enjoyed traditional indian food, buffé, and of course Kingfisher beer. Nice breakfast and start of the day, very friendly staff. On... More

I only spent one night here but wish I could have stayed longer. Great setting on the lagoon, beautifully manicured grounds, and the fish curry I had for dinner was perhaps the best meal I have ever experienced in 15 trips to India! (Breakfast was excellent also). My cabin was relatively basic but comfortable and the AC worked well. The... More

Fabulous setting with views over lake, reasonably comfortable cottage - chairs could be better. Welcoming staff. Lack of promised ayurvedic treatments and poor availability of menu items disappointed.

We stayed for two nights and had a pleasant time relaxing on the verandah of our lower level room. Rooms are spacious, with AC. Breakfasts and dinners were quite good and served outdoors. Nice spot for walks along the lagoons and for quiet relaxation. A nice change from the busy cities.

Stayed here for 3 nights during a Birdwatching Trip. What a beautiful place. Gardens were well kept and colourful. The bungalows we had were clean and comfortable with fan and aircon. Beds very comfortable.Hot water and shower, though I went Indian and used the bucket. Brill. Birdwatching from our porch overlooking the lake produced a good variety. Food was delicious,... More

I was at Soma on 13th January for a day when I visited the Thettakkad Bird Sanctuary. The place is in the lap of nature, very quite. In the night you hear the incests and in the morning the Birds wake you up. The rooms are good and clean. The service is fine. Not many people visit to this part... More

We picked up a brochure about this hotel and it sounded like heaven, but sadly all the promises ended there. The location is absolutely stunning and all the bungalows sit facing the lagoon where the bird life is spectacular – we saw 4 different spices of kingfisher in an hour. However, the manager was very unpleasant, which was reflected in... More

Resort location is exotic, how ever very poor in maintenance. There is no 24hrs, hot water. We went as a group of 30pacs, The staff could not manage the crowd. When the restaurant is full, they even were reluctant to arrange the tables, with basic amenities like spoon, knife etc. Wash place for restaurant is out side the restaurant but... More

We loved every minute here. Four adult birdwatchers in their element. We were the only guests but the food that just kept on coming out of the kitchens was amazing. True Kerelan cooking and everything was excellant. The resort is a little laid back. Nothing is rushed. Rooms are spotless. All the linen is changed every day. Lots of good... More
