Delicious Kerala Cuisine

The food at Lake Palace was nothing short of splendid! Every meal was freshly prepared and offered a variety of traditional Kerala dishes. I especially loved the fact that the chef was eager to please and made adjustments to the dishes according to my taste. The meals were beautifully presented and truly showcased the flavors of the region. The Vanilla Milk Shake was a personal favorite; I cannot recommend it enough!

Comfort and Charm

I stayed in one of the premium rooms at Lake Palace, and it was a good experience. The room had a rustic charm with antique furniture, which added to the historical ambiance of the place. It was spacious and comfortable, with modern bathroom fixtures. I had a private portico that offered stunning views of the lake, allowing me to relax and soak in the surroundings.

Tranquil Atmosphere

I thoroughly enjoyed the serene atmosphere at Lake Palace. Being surrounded by the beauty of nature and having the option to explore the surrounding wilderness was rejuvenating. At night, the quiet ambiance was perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. I appreciated the lack of Wi-Fi, as it allowed me to disconnect and fully immerse myself in the experience, truly a fantastic escape from the hustle and bustle.
