Coconut Lagoon Kumarakom- CGH Earth
Kumarakom|0.93km van Cheeppunkal Lake View
A beautiful place with friendly staff that means well. Part of a group of eco friendly hotels by CGH. If you have low expectation you will love this place, If you expect a top end resort, you will be disappointed Basics: Sleeping - 4/5 bed and sheets are ok, no complaints but nothing outstanding. Shower - 4/5 Charming shower and toilet with open sky. Clean and beautiful. Soap, gel, shampoo are nice, water strength good. A/C - 4/5 Our room had a ventilator and an A/C unit that could have been more quiet. It did its job well Noise - this place is in nature, so expect a lot of sounds. Crickets, other animals during the night Otherwise this is a nice calm place. Smell - 4/5 No unusual smell that sometimes deters visitors. No special smells either Bottom line: Would I come back again - unlikely Would I recommend to a friend - yes with hesitation What I did not like: Extra are extremely expensive Both the spa and the recreation center It’s a shame, as both would be more active and create smiles at lower prices, and it is possible as costs are low. In addition the service is not high end more about both later. Also, though staff is extremely helpful and means well. However, ***y requests need to be de***ded twice or more While we were here the pool and WiFi were undergoing upgrades. It’s a shame it was not known in advance. Also, no alcohol was available though we were provided some beer as a special courtesy This is an old and charming establishment and though it is well kept, ***y things work partially. Much like the WiFi, the electricity in the room works only if the key is inserted a certain way. Not too much, not too little. It’s like a game The fridge as it’s max does not cool. Warm beer is no fun. Again you would expect more. What I did like: Beautiful location and grounds. Right by the lake and with ***y canals in its midst. There is a butterfly garden ***y flowers Respect to nature Friendly staff The restaurant and food were great Morning yoga class The facility has its own water factory - amazing All very nice More about the Spa and Kayak center: SPA Things I will ish to have known: Prices are high, still reasonable by western standard, but surprisingly high. And what you get is not in par The massage itself was good (I had two different ones including a 1hour 45 minutes deep tissue massage) However, I asked for water and got a small glass Sheets were cheap disposable ones that gave an uneasy feeling. Why use them? An eco friendly lodge with a laundry facility could have chosen something nice Steam bath - the equipment works asymmetrically So you body is knocked off balance. This is extremely inappropriate and has strong negative implications The shower facility did not work appropriately kayak center Expensive and unfriendly You can not go out on your own, someone must join you You must wear a floatation jacket The young men who work there are bored and prefer not to go out “Too hot”, “lunch time”, “maybe later” is the com
