Punnamada Resort - Resort hotel in Alappuzha - Alappuzha, India

Very nice location, good service and very good food. Excellent destination for retired/senior citizens. Families with children have to exercise special care as no protective fencing has been provided from water bodies inside the campus as well as to the back waters.

The common amenities and spaces were good with many scenic spots, but the room left a lot to be desired. We wanted a local experience that's why we chose this (unfortunately). We stayed in room 707, and tons of things were off: 1. The bathroom sink was cracked and the bathroom in general was quite unclean. There was rust on numerous places. 2. While it might have been nice when originally built, it has been quite badly maintained in that case. There were spots and marks all over the room, many things were simply broken or not working, it also just felt unclean. The room overall looked like it was plucked out of a 2/3-star (from the TV to the bed to the fridge and the walls and the cupboard) rather than a so-called 5-star resort. The restaurant's food was nice, good north Indian food (ask them to make it extra spicy), and otherwise okay as well. There are tons of games and acitivities, but again most are not very well maintained. It's priced and calls itself a 5-star but doesn't deliver. Honestly, go to the Ramada - it's cheaper, has better rooms, is right on the lake as well, and is overall in a better location anyway.

Punnamada resort is a great place to spend a day or two with friends / family. Good food and service and staff are also helpful. Only thing that can improve is the way to this place. We have to pass through a narrow road for around 1 km. Not quite sure whether there any other path to this resort.

We had visited Punnamada Resort for an ayurvedic massage. The experience was absolutely outstanding. It was so relaxing and satisfying. I would recommend the ayurvedic center at Punnamada Resort for everyone looking for a therapeutic massage in a traditional setting.

The place has a serene vibe! The rooms are culturally vintage in aura! The location itself is beyond words! So peaceful. The food is the only thing I found average. Everything else right from service to hospitality and staff are good. Apart from this it's in a bit of remote location down the narrow road at the backwaters so make sure your vehicle is not too huge! Lastly have a calming experience:)

My wife and I stayed here a few nights. Rooms are ho hum - nothing to write home about (a major let down from what we had expected from the pics). Brackish water in the wash basin (run it for a few minutes before you use it), and your commode gurgles every time the neighbors flush. There were rat droppings in the towels - which had a very musty odor to them (housekeeping changed them promptly after I let them know). The in house laundry was kaput - they did send my laundry to an offsite service who did a good job, but they insisted on a cash transaction only (and as usual, no one had any change on them). The location, outside spaces, views, and the staff manning the place are its redeeming features. Go ahead and visit them once - can't hurt.

Stayed here with family for one night in July. The property was very beautiful and it was great to sit at the lake and watch the houseboats pass. We also enjoyed eating from the restaurant where the food was ok and the service was good. The rooms need some attention to make the space comfortable. Rooms were damp and smelled musty, lighting was poor so difficult to see if things were clean or not. Bathrooms were ok but rusty toilet water was unappealing and bathroom space was unclean in some rooms. Basic toiletries of bar soap and shampoo were provided. Though we enjoyed the outdoor time and peaceful grounds, the shortcomings in the rooms would prevent us from choosing to stay here again.

Un petit paradis ! Le personnel est vraiment tres gentil et attentionne. Merci pour votre accueil pour ce dejeuner improvise. Nous ne manquerons pas de revenir pour un plus long sejour.
