Amazing getaway at Kumarakam

10.0

I genuinely couldn’t have chosen a better place than Backwater Ripples, Kumarakom to celebrate my sister’s birthday. From the moment I shared my vision for the birthday decor, the team went above and beyond to bring it to life exactly as I had imagined. Everyone was so enthusiastic, supportive, and invested in making sure the celebration was truly special, and that meant so much to us. Beyond the celebration, the stay itself was wonderful. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the food was delicious, and every member of the staff was warm, courteous, and always ready to help with a smile. The location overlooking the Vembanad Lake is absolutely surreal. Both the houseboat ride and speed boat ride on it were memorable! Waking up to such peaceful views and spending time amidst such calm surroundings made the entire experience incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. Thank you to the entire team for making my sister’s birthday so memorable. We are leaving with beautiful memories and hearts full of gratitude. I would happily recommend Backwater Ripples to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway or a special place to celebrate life’sspecial occasions.

World class experience in Gods own country

10.0

Right from the online inquiry and online booking ably supported by Ms Aleena was amazing followed by Guest relations Manager, Ms Sindhu par excellence from facilitating all act ivies proactively after checkin. My son’s surprise Bday midnight cake cutting facilitated by Mr Sunil & team with pomp & show near lake side was beyond our expectations. What makes Backwaters Ripples stand out among other Resorts in Kumarakom, is their attention to details and passion with which do their job, making our short staycation not only memorable but a royal experience to treasure. Last but not the least, our royal chauffeur, Mr Shaji, who picked up us from airport and was with us through out our stay and drop back at our house. #gloriousdecade | #backwatersripples
