Purity at Lake Vembanad

We stayed at Purity @ Lake Vembanad and had such a lovely time. The staff were incredibly polite and friendly. A special mention to Mary at the front desk, Arya and Suresh in the restaurant, and Chef Anoop. They all went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The property is peaceful, the grounds were adorned with stone sculptures of Ganesha and on the whole beautifully maintained. Sitting by the garden and watching the lake, fishermen passing by, watching the birds was very soothing. The complimentary canoe ride in the evening was a really a highlight. We chose to go around sunset since this was monsoon and it was quite worth it . I also tried their Ayurvedic massage and it was very relaxing. I was celebrating my birthday during the trip and The Chef, Mary and crew went out of their way and presented me with a birthday cake and a beautifully decorated table. They offer complimentary yoga at 6:30 am, though we skipped it due to rainy mornings. The food was decent overall—fresh and tasty and the staff were happy to adjust things to our liking. Only downside was the aircon was in the living space and the room was massive and the bed area didn't have much of cooling. The room had a few baby geckos from the nearby vegetation. Overall, it was a really memorable and peaceful stay.

The bed was so comfy, we nearly missed breakfast because we slept so well! The staff at Purity were filled with smiles and friendliness, which made the stay extra special. The canoe tour arranged by the hotel complimentary was one of a kind and we got to go onto one of the Chinese fishing structures.

We had a fabulous 6 days at Purity. The people are extremely welcoming and really want you to have the best stay. The hospitality shines through with smiles, warmth and kindness. Our treatment was five star from start to finish with Mary greeting us at the door, helping us to organise our days when needed, and always checking in with us to ensure everything was ok. She guided us on where to buy the best spices and organised someone to apply Henna Art. Arya, the Restaurant Captain ***** with Vishnu and Suresh delivered excellent service with passion and enthusiasm, day and night. The smiles were plentiful. Anoop, the Chef, has created a varied and quality menu, we ate something different each day and were not disappointed, the food is a real strength at Purity with fresh fish in abundance. The rooms were really nice, beds comfortable and air conditioning that worked! We had daily yoga with Naiju that enhanced the stay. All in all, a superb 6 days in a wonderful setting. We will definitely return.
