Coconut Lagoon Kumarakom- a CGH Earth Experience

What an amazing stay I had at Coconut Lagoon! The property is so beautiful and peaceful. Our villa was wonderful with its outdoor bathroom and amazing bed. There is so much you can do and see on the property and off property or you can simply relax by the pool with a good book. The highlight of my trip though were the staff! Every person there went above and beyond! Thomas Tony worked in both restaurants and treated us like queens (or “the mamas” as he affectionately called my friend Susan and me). Two of the bartenders, Abdul and Roshi, made the best drinks and kept our bottle of wine iced and at the ready. Pratheesh who is a naturalist took us on the most amazing e bike tour through the village and through the countryside where we met a couple of local families and learned about the toddy making process and had a taste as well. He pointed out various species of birds ***** the way and told us so much about the area. Our few hours with him was one of the highlights of our 2 1/2 weeks in India. Above all these individuals and everyone there, too many to name, were so kind. I already miss them and their constant smiles and the lovely haven on the backwaters. I truly hope to go back!

Out of the world experience, truly inside the lap of nature . Mesmerising, beautiful, amazing staff.. gentle , polite , knowledgeable, warm , pleasant and alert . Must do … bird watching , sunset boat ride, off beat tour , clay craft , weaving , ayurveda massage… everything else they have to offer

We had a wonderful and a very pleasant stay at CGH Kumarakom. Would highly recommend everyone to visit this place for their own experience, Each and everyone was so courteous and pleasant and enjoyed every bit of it. The housekeeping staff, people at restaurant and bar were all extremely kind to name a few Dinesh, Surya, Sreekumar, Roshan were all very good and were taking exceptional care of the guests....it was a most memorable trip of ours and we would definitely want to visit here again as it's a great place for relaxation and rejuvenation.. Not to miss the food and its quality as every dish was prepared with utmost care and love which tasted soooo delicious. Also the wide variety served was amazing. Thanks once again for making our visit a memorable one

Such a wonderful place in the middle of nature. The rooms were comfortable, great staff always looking out for you, beautiful cuisine with some cookery classes. As a swimmer and runner, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We recommend a sunset cruise on the lake, early bird watching with Prateesh the local naturalist, a drink with Harry (GM), or Shynima (AGM). Truly a wonderful place.

E bike tour,early morning e-bike tour ***** the banks of the backwaters with naturalist Vishnu. The e - bikes are more like small motor bikes you don’t even need to pedal! Vishnu took us for early morning tea at the local tea shop,we stopped to taste toddy fresh from the coconut tree and spotted birds as we traveled ***** the peaceful canals as the local villagers started their morning.Vishnu was an engaging guide pointing out birds and things of interest as we cycled along.A lovey way to welcome in the day

The coconut lagoon is a very unique property with so many canals criss crossing thru it. The reimagined 1850s style mansions made of wood , takes one back in time. Everything has been meticulously restored to present-day safety and is very well-maintained. The naturalists on staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The pool is very well-maintained as as the other facilities. Christmas preparation is on steroids at the moment making it festive with the re-used paper decorations. The activities thru the day are very enjoyable. My kids had a lovely time and we made tons of memories!
