The overall experience at the hotel was good but could have been better. You are picked up by a jetty to reach the island and the view is simply magical. The island is situated on the banks of the backwater and you can relax by watching the scenaries, taking a boat ride or simply relaxing. The restaurant however needs to be revamped as you can find lots of insects and mosquitoes. The food was served hot and tasty.

Best Experience: We enjoyed our stay by visiting the paddy fields situated behind the resort. we took a morning walk and were guided by the hotel staff. it was a refreshing experience to see the green fields in dawn break. We also had gone rowing in one of the boats and it was thrilling!!!

Worst Experience: The ayurvedic massages as described on the website is not present at the hotel. One needs to travel quite a long distance to reach the place where the hotel has a tie up with. So be prepared for a local auto drive :)

After a wonderful day and night spent on the houseboat in Allepey, the long-ish drive to this resort was quite boring....but when we reached it we were pleasantly surprised, to say the least. This resort is in a picturesque setting with serene backwaters flowing around it and the neat compact rooms made it a fabulous experience. All rooms \'are guaranteed\' with a \'water view\', as per the receptionist (male of course!!)
We visited this resort in mid-Jan 2007, hoping the heat wouldn\'t have started, but were trifle disappointed. The heat made it difficult to sit in the balcony during the day, but at night it was pleasant. Sipping beer and soaking in the \'sounds of silence\' is an experience i wud cherish for a long time !
As a reader here has pointed out earlier, the choice of food left much to be desired. I was told they had no prawns nor crabs to serve us !! Imagine being told this in sea food country and that too to a true blue Gujju !! Of course, when i made a \'noise\' about it to the manager he made it a point not to disappoint me, by arranging for the cook to make me some wonderful crabs for dinner !

Best Experience: The slow and lazy ride on the boat along the backwaters is part of the package and simply must not be missed !
Well, while i made such an issue abt the crabs, let me describe the meal in all its gory splendour ! When the reached my table, i was a bit unsure how they wud taste, considering the \'complaint\' i had lodged earlier, but let me assure u dear readers, the cook excelled himself ! Thankfully (he he he) the rest of my gang were not crab lovers, so i had the entire plate for myself. Throwing all table manners to the wind, i dived into them with all gusto, using both hands !! (but isn\'t this the best way to eat crabs anyway ???) In no time i had the rest of the gang watching me in amusement, but with such a fabulous fare in front of me, wud i care ?? Quite obviously the poor kerala parathas suffered in silence as i had ignored them completely. Well not often do i get to have a full plate of the most delicious crabs to myself, so i assure you that i did full justice to them !
Talk of best experience !!!

Worst Experience: What can i say....? When u go to a resort u are sposed to \'kindly adjust\' and just enjoy the surroundings. This is not the manager, but me saying it ! The worst experience i had was being told \'sorry saar, no prowns, no craabs saar\' !
Not to accept defeat lightly i was bent on turning that \'worst experience\' into the something unforgetable ! I plucked at the managers sentimental chords and the \'u cant say no to me, i came all the way to Coir Village becoz i was told u serve the best crabs\', worked ! And how !!! So is this the worst experience..?? NAAWWW !

• Best Home Stay in God's Own country

I don't have words to explain the feeling and experience of staying in Kait's Home. First we friends visited Kait's Home 4 years before and we were felt like being in Nature's lap enjoying the serene surroundings around this place. Later this year we made it a point to visit this place again with our family. Everyone liked this place and the excellent hospitality provided by the family. The best part of stay at Kait's Home is the home-made food they provide. They ensure the menu is changed every meal to ensure the guest have a taste of the multiple variety of food that Kerala offers. Kids enjoyed and the stay. At last everyone felt like staying one more day. We stayed there for 3 night and 3 days. The dining place is built on the backwater giving an astonishing view of the backwater and life in the back water.

Staying at the Coir Village Lake Resort was a wonderful experience in short. It was a quite and beautiful experience. We are a family of four with two kids. We are from Kerala itself. During the vacations we decided that Alleppey would be our spot this time. And since we had already tried out the houseboat we decided to spent some time at a resort. Hunting for a resort, we came across their online advertisement and their photos looked amazing. We selected this as their rates were well within our budget too The photos on the net did not disappoint! The place was as beautiful as in the photos. We were surprised, quite pleasantly by the whole look of the resort. The whole concept of situating the resort was quite unique and a different experience The office and the cottages are situated on islands right in the middle of the Alleppey backwaters and we have to rely on the boatmen in between the islands to get to each islands which was quite an experience Looking back the rate quoted by the resort seemed very low for the services we enjoyed. The rooms were a delight, it was beautiful and neat The backwaters were there for our services, we spent an afternoon swimming in it, and the evening taking a boat cruise along it to see the sunset. The waters near to the cottages are shallow and will come up to chest height only. And the boat cruise services are offered by the resort itself. If there is any advises to give it is; if you are taking a boat trip to see the sunset you can order the evening snacks and tea, and ask them to serve it on the boat. Drinking tea with friends and family on a boat in the middle of the water and watching the sunset is quite an experience. Another advice; be prepared to spent some time astonishing net for direction since, it is situated bit far from the main roads This is just a small summary of our trip to Coir Village Lake Resort. And if you think this resort might be worth going to, have no doubts, it might surprise you!

We stayed in the Boat lodge for one night. The boat itself contains all the facilities of an room and it's very luxurious. The moment of experience is not possible to explain in words. It must be experienced once in life. It's the double 'paisa vasool' for the sightseeing location.

It is very good for honeymoon and couples. The boat contains bed room and lounge for sightseeing. We can have snacks and kitchen facility inside the boat only. The stay in boat at night time is unforgettable experience.
