Truly lovely stay. Ayurveda treatments were excellent. Food was very delicious and chef made such a personal effort. Staff all around very kind and friendly. We did yoga every day and our yoga master Pradeep Kumar was the absolute best! He went above and beyond to impart his extensive knowledge. We felt so lucky to meet him and have the benefit of his teachings. Although just 3 day stay, we enjoyed every minute and wish it was longer. Pool is so nice and all around great stay. Highly recommend!!

A beautiful stay in the Punnamada Resort hotel. Starting the day with a yoga class on the meadow underneath the rain tree right at the lakeside with an excellent (and friendly : - ) yoga master. Very good and healthy Indian food in the lakeside restaurant, daily ayurveda massages by experienced and well skilled ladies. A beautiful hotel campus with exotic trees, flowers, butterflies and birds. Superfriendly personnel, comfortable rooms with all amenities (AC, flatscreen tv, four-poster canopy bed, outdoor bathroom and shower). We enjoyed our stay tremendously and will never forget it. We hope to come back. Namaste.

This is our 2nd visit, we came here to take Ayurveda treatment from Dr. Balraj ( head of Ayurveda Punnamada) he is really good.God bless him. Staff is very sweet, welcoming and helpful, they go out of their way to make touch feel at home. Food is good. Eniournment is very peaceful.

Went for a short 3 day break to Alleppey earlier this month. The resort is a 2 1/2 hour drive from Cochin Airport. The location of the resort is quite obscure and you can easily miss the small lane that leads you towards the resort. Once you're there, it is a beautiful location. Punnamada is a small boutique resort with only individual cottages. The cottages are done very tastefully - minimal yet aesthetic eco-friendly design. Pros: Beautiful location very close to the back waters Excellent staff and very friendly service - Front desk, restaurant and the boat staff are all very considerate and well versed with local geography, culture and food. Good food, especially if you like to try local Keralian food Very clean resort considering it was stagnant water all around and open air bathrooms (it was free of insects even in peak monsoon season with very low occupancy in the resort) The Ayurveda treatment centre was decent. It could do with a face lift. Cons: Limited activities inside and around the resort. Even the in-house activities like a pool table are chargeable. The pool wasn't functional for maintenance - This should have been informed before we booked. However, the front staff was kind enough to arrange pool access at the Ramada Hotel with their own pick up and drop. Unlike regular hotel building structure, this one 'feel' more authentic and in touch with nature. Overall a very good stay and certainly worth coming back.
