A lovely backwater stay. Beautiful grounds. We really enjoyed the boat ride. The restaurant was the only disappointment. Despite repeated communication that one person did not want hot food and assurances that they would alter the food, it was still too spicy hot to eat.

Lovely location and great food
The room had everything we needed but the beds are very firm and the doors -and windows have significant gaps when closed allowing noise, insects etc into the room. Reception staff and management were brilliantly helpful and the food in the restaurant was excellent.

Relaxing few days
Relaxing few days at the Fragrant Nature. Superb location and wonderful staff. Excellent breakfast and dinner. Take advantage of the sunset kayak trip through Mangrove Safari just across the road. If you like to walk, seek out the Meenad-Polachira trail by the Polichira lake.

This resort was a dream. The property is gorgeous. Incredibly well maintained. The staff are very attentive and helpful. I had spa treatments every day with Shiva and she was absolutely amazing! The hotel manager, Rahul, helped organize two day trips and my ride to the train station. I would highly recommend this resort! 👍

Beautiful resort with great staff and pool
Amazing resort with great staff, a little in the middle of nowhere but that was a good thing for just relaxing. Great pool although on the first day we couldn't get a lounger (low season and empty resort) as there was some sort of corporate function going on. The highlight was a private fish BBQ diner at the lakeside coffee house, was excellent. We stayed two nights but didn't get much sleep the first night as there was something banging and dragging about in the loft, we were fairly terrified. We told the staff the next day and they switched us to another room which was nice although maybe didnt makeup for the lack of sleep so 4 stars instead of 5 (think it was a Civet).

If you need to unwind and unplug, don’t think twice. Just book. The property is beautiful. I was traveling alone as a single American woman and was completely safe. The spa was heavenly. The boat ride was amazing. The staff were very welcoming. The room was very large and clean with a great view. I hope to come back for a time out again soon.

Serene stay, perfect!
We had a lovely peaceful stay at the Fragrant Nature. The location was beautiful, the resort itself was very well maintained and had stunning views all around. Staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to help us (we left an item after check out and they even dropped it off at the next town for us!). Food was delicious, and amenities were also great. We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return!

Great place to relax and re-center
We had an amazing relaxing getaway there. The room (one of the villas) was beautiful. The balcony looking out on the water was my favorite place to hang out. The service was top notch. Our yoga instructor was delightful. He pushed us, made us feel super comfortable and had a great sense of humor. The boat tour through the backwaters was awesome, although the tour of the town/beach/lighthouse left a lot to be desired. Food was delicious and I felt like they really tried to make sure we were comfortable there. The pool was lovely, as was the massages we got.

Lovely hotel located on the banks of the lake. The lakeside seafood restaurant is too expensive. The grounds, facilities, and hotel are maintained well and the staff is well trained. We felt comfortable and at home. There's not much to do other than enjoying the facilities at the hotel and a boat ride in the lake. Great place for a quiet getaway.

Excellent resort set in the backwaters. While remotely located (for India), this is an ideal location to rest and relax away from the frantic and hectic pace that can be found in most parts of India. Staff were superb, and the views / setting from the bungalows was simply outstanding. Meals were excellent, and in a wonderful setting. Grounds and buildings were well kept. Highly recommended for a break away from it all, as there is little to do nearby.

Poor service, out of the way.
We made reservation at this hotel because of high rating at hotels.com and we were very disappointed. Hotel was located very far from main road, staff could not give appropriate directions to the driver so it took over 1 hour to find it. When we arrived after midnight room was not prepared, dirty linen was still there. Staff had to drive somewhere to find clean linen, and room was not cleaned at all.. Staff was very incompetent. In the morning breakfast was mediocre. It's a shame because location of the hotel was on the lake and could have been different experience. I would NOT recommend to stay here!

Beautiful setting but expensive. ..
Beautiful setting, gardens lovely and very well maintained. Lovely view from the room and from the restaurant, pool area lovely. Further out from Kollam than stated on expedia - 22kms not 11kms and with traffic, can take 45 minutes to get there. Final bill significantly more than quoted- additional taxes add almost 25%. Taxi from hotel cost 1500rupees; ordered our own and it cost 700rupees. Restaurant food average. Beautiful location and staff very attentive.

Nice and Serene Property
Stay was very nice. The staff is extremely helpful. The food at the Sunset bar was excellent. Breakfast buffet was satisfactory but the chef was very helpful and considerate . He used to make whatever ordered. The only setback was that I got my booking done thru Hotels.com for the Pool Villa for two nights which they denied after the booking was completed and approved . They gave me the Pool Villa only for one night and for the other night they gave me a small room . Even the calculations on the payment receipts are so confusing and complicated with so many taxes that the issue of payment has not been resolved till now . They have overcharged us for the pool villa and the settlement room.
