Delicious Dining Experience

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at Abad Whispering Palms. The buffet was diverse and delicious, and I must say, it was some of the best I’ve had! The variety kept me looking forward to each meal. Chef Umesh deserves a special mention for creating such flavorful dishes. I genuinely enjoyed my dining experience here during my stay.

Relaxing Spa Treatments

During my stay, I indulged in some Ayurvedic treatments at the in-house spa, and it was truly rejuvenating. The massages were great, especially the foot and face massages. It was a perfect way to unwind after a long day. The ambiance was soothing, and the therapists were skilled, making the experience lovely.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the resort. While the location was beautiful with a stunning view of the lake and the swimming pool area was well-maintained, the dining experience left much to be desired. Although I enjoyed the attentiveness of the staff, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the peaceful surroundings, the food quality and variety did not live up to my expectations.

My stay at the resort was a memorable experience with a welcoming atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The hospitality was exceptional, especially with the efforts of the manager who made sure we felt comfortable throughout our family outing. However, the bathroom setup could use some improvement as it was quite awkward, and the room-service options were lacking. The buffet breakfast and the clean pool were definite highlights, making it a worthwhile visit overall.

Staying at the resort was an absolute delight! The private pool villa was perfect for relaxation and provided a great sense of privacy. While the location is stunning and offers beautiful views of Kumarakom's backwaters, the rooms do feel a bit dated and could use some renovations. The food was quite good but be aware that there are no alcohol options on-site, which is something to keep in mind. Overall, it’s a great value for money especially with the luxurious private pool experience.

The dining options were quite good but could benefit from a bit more variety.
