Adequate
Cocanut Creek was pretty basic. The grounds are lovely although there's not really a river to view. My room was about as basic as they come, but it was clean and everything functioned well - including the AC. Friends we're staying at the Abad a half mile away. That looked very nice.
Given the cost this was a great stay. The accommodation is quite basic but is fine. The location is quite remote, which is what we wanted, it's surrounded on two sides by canals which is lovely.
To get to the main town of Kumarakom it's a tuk tuk ride or a nice 20/30 min walk.
However, the free breakfast isn't great, so don't rely on it. Also, access to the bedrooms is locked at night, so you have to ring the main bell to get in which is slightly annoying.
Staff were lovely.
To get there ask your driver to take you to the main church in Nazareth, and it is diagonally opposite across the crossroads.
Would stay here again.

Disliked: Room comfort
Rooms were clean, well maintained.
No so good experience at this place, owned was quick to ask for advance payment as soon as we entered, the Homestay was far from backwater, market, restaurants and site seeing places, you need to travel 3-4 km for food, taking advantage of it the in-house kitchen food was costly considering its OK taste and very limited variety in offering.
It was a good home stay. Best part was the food .. yummy hygeinic home cooked food. Lalichan and uncle are gentle folk .. overall it was a good experience.
It is far from the airport. it took us about 2 hours to get to the hotel. the sign of the hotel is not very clear and a lot of people do not know it. so tell the taxi driver Hotel Zuri or Royal Grove. it is close to these two hotels. also there are many churches In the area. but mention Nazareth Church to the taxi driver. The people of Kerala do not speak much English or Hindi. Communication can be a problem. Get a prepaid taxi from the airport. it is expensive though. the owner is a quiet man. however the supervisor LalChand that runs the grounds is very smart. He speaks some good English. he is pleasant and took good care of us. he makes good food. be aware that the rooms are very small. the room has fan and A.C. mosquitos can be a problem. the streets are not lit so carry a flash light when out after dark. also rickshaws are scarce so be aware. the area is full of coconut named resorts. so make sure you tell the right one.
Please do not give business to house boats. they are a disaster to the lake. if you do want to be on a house boat find one that is environmentally friendly.

Stay at Coconut creek
Stay was for a night. Service was fine and on time. Didn't get much time to taste authentic food there.
I visited Coconut Creek on 28th Dec,2013 with my parents and sister. The stay was comfortable and i loved the hospitality. The food was delicious and i wanted a cab it was arranged quick and fast.
I will recommend this place to family.
However, what i faced as a concern is they do not accept card (debit/credit). I was falling short of money and wanted to use my credit but to my surprise they only take cash. This place is open for foreigners and if you have people staying, i will recommend to keep this as an option or always have cash if you stay in Coconut Creek.
Thanks,
Catherine

Not impressed
Room was clean bed was hard as a rock. Getting any kind of help from the staff was impossible and they say the have food but you need to order three hours in advance. We moved after one night.
Such a wonderful and homely feeling...beautiful house and surrounding garden! Loved the swing at the front...relaxing and reading! Everyone was really helpful and the food was delicious!
Mr Baba the owner was a very considerate host. There was a general strike throughout India & no traffic allowed on the roads for a couple of days. We travelled through the night & arrived at 5am and were shown to our room immediately. The room was quite small but perfectly acceptable. The air conditioning was good.The homestay is set in lovely grounds and there is a veranda with swing & seats which was very relaxing & peaceful. We stayed 3 nights & ate our evening meals there. The cook Lal was excellent & the food lovely & cheap. We went on their canoe on the lake & small canals which was really enjoyable & excellent value. Mr Babu can organise a houseboat but we decided against it as it was more than 2 hours before you are able to enter the canals at Alleppy.
This is one of the best home stays i have stayed in while travelling. The owner is cooperative and hospitable and the helper/caretaker is sweet and cooks delicious food. The room was neat and the bathroom was clean. The room had a TV with satellite connection. The only markdown is the location which is a little far from the main town but the place is right next to an auto stand so that has been taken care of
