Water Scapes

Waterscapes, a picturesque resort on Vembanad lake amidst serene waterways, about 15 kms from Kottayam, with traditional Kerala architecture & modern comforts. This expansive property with well maintained sprawling greens and walkways, has good options of accommodation,designed to suit various preferences and budgets. All wooden cabins are on stilts, each cabin having its own access bridge and a covered, spacious seating area under it. Cottages are well designed, and well kept, with internet connected TV and good, but not generous bathing spaces.Visit to the adjacent bird sanctuary and other facilities like a clean swimming pool, cycling, and pedal boating are complimentary. Golf buggys to travel inside the resort were of much use. Staff is courteous . The restaurant is well designed and aesthetically located. The spread is not exhaustive, but with good flavors, both veg and non-veg. Buffet are available for lunch and dinner also. It looked like they are not very keen on serving a la carte. Well and good this much. Now I have to point out a grave drawback in the resort. There are numerous stairs and bridges everywhere , especially around the area of the restaurant, which every guest has to visit. On the two days of our stay (Lake view cabin LV-1 on 24/5 to 26/5) there was incessant drizzle, which naturally made some wooden surfaces slippery. On top of this, the area around the restaurant and some adjacent lake view cottages were totally dark at night. There are light pillars seen on the bridge and on the path leading to it, (about ten ) none of which work. Even the pillar light in front of our (and most of the others around) cabin did not light up, making our movement much difficult. We had to depend on our mobile phone torch, which is quite inadequate, to take the stairs to our cabin, and even to open the door. Sorry to say that this crucial aspect was overlooked by the house keeping dept and the management. This irresponsibility of high degree could have been reason enough for fall and fractures , and even snakebites ( we found a slender coral snake baby in the lawns), for guests, especially senior citizens like us. Until this serious inadequacy is resolved, how can I recommend this resort to anyone ? -Dr.Surendrababu,Thalassery

Nice holiday with humble services by smiling faces of its staffs. Adjacent to Bird Sanctuary and my stay is musically. Birds always singing in this property. The sceneric place disallow you to leave. If you want to outing, you can walk through the bird sanctuary and have 3 hours walk.

My stay at KTDC Waterscapes was a delightful surprise. Opting for a last-minute family getaway, we were thrilled by the experience. The property boasts a scenic location—easily accessible from the main road yet peacefully removed from the hustle and bustle, offering a stunning view of the majestic Vembanad Lake. The cottages were impressive, equipped with amenities comparable to a star hotel. The food was delicious, and the Abhyangam massage was incredibly relaxing. The staff was very welcoming, as was the natural setting. An early morning walk through the bird sanctuary was particularly serene. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend it!
