Lovely Lake Stay
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful location, easily accessible from Kochi. We spent our last few days in India there, after a busy month of travel. It was a perfect place to recharge before heading home. The cottages are very comfortable and all have views of the lake. The staff is attentive and warm. Meals are served on the cottage verandah and a number of delicious choices are available. We highly recommend Ameya Kerala to anyone looking for a relaxing time in a beautiful place!

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

This was truly an incredible stay! The location is so serene and the property is just beautiful. The property is set in a rolling garden with hundreds of birds and animals around. You can sit by the pool under the coconut trees sunbathing or read your book on your private pavilion. My highlight was the food for sure! You have to order your meals a few hours in advance because they buy everything to cook for you from the village. It is beautiful home cooked Keralan food at it's finest.

Cons:

If you want a busy holiday this isn't for you! It is pure relaxation at Ameya.

Beautiful resort & incredible staff.
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful property & scenery! This small resort has everything right & the attention to detail is incredible. Private dining was such a joy & all organised so well by the lovely staff. The ladies all deserve a mention as they made the stay so memorable. Don’t hesitate to book this property, sheer relaxation & tranquility.

Cons:

Location slightly away from any anything but it wasn’t a big deal as happy enough to stay within the resort.

A hidden gem on the lake: peace, authenticity, and a wonderful staff to end our holidays.
Pros:

Ameya Kerala is a true hidden gem. The location is breathtaking, offering an unobstructed 180-degree view of the lake that is simply magical. It was the perfect place to unwind at the end of our holidays. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful swimming pool, which offers a great spot to relax while taking in the scenery.
Because the resort is small and exclusive, the atmosphere is incredibly peaceful and private. The traditional Kerala architecture is stunning, and the rooms are very comfortable. What truly stands out, however, is the staff—they are attentive, kind, and go above and beyond to make you feel at home. It is the ideal spot for anyone seeking tranquility, luxury, and the natural beauty of the backwaters. Highly recommended

Cons:

A few things to keep in mind: there is a Hindu temple nearby with prayers and chanting that can start early and last throughout the day. While it’s part of the local culture, it can be a bit distracting if you are looking for absolute silence over several days. Also, the resort is somewhat isolated from shops and commercial activities, but this is easily managed as Uber is very reliable and accessible in the area if you don't have your own transport.

Superbe
Pros:

Ameya kerala est un établissement magnifique, seulement 3 pavillons autour d’une maison historique au bord du lac qui donnent le sentiment d’être privilégié. Le service y est irréprochable, le personnel est aux petits soins. L’établissement propose des soins ayurvediques sur place. Je recommande absolument la ballade en bateau dans le parc d’oiseau proche, que la maison peut organiser pour vous, expérience unique et bien moins fréquentée que dans la ville spot backwaters de Allepey.

Cons:

Rien, biensur les sévices de ce type d’établissement sont un peu plus onéreux que dans le reste des hôtels en Inde, mais c’est le prix pour profiter d’un lieu d’exception et de la douceur d’y vivre quelque jours

Comfortable and relaxing.
Pros:

The property is owned by a French couple, who rent out the villas/rooms when they are not using it.

The architecture of the main house is fantastic, and staying there felt like a homestay.

The staff were very friendly and the food they served was delicious.

The free use of the kayak was a nice touch.

Cons:

If you just want to sit on a lounge chair and read a book, this is a great property. Since there isn’t much else to do in the surrounding area.

The area just outside the property is very littered. And whilst this might be easier said than done, education of the local people (a few of whom work at the property) on the negative impacts of this would benefit everyone.

Promette bene ma non mantiene la promessa
Pros:

La camera era molto spaziosa e la colazione buona ed abbondante.

Cons:

Tutto troppo caro per quello che effettivamente viene proposto, a livello di qualità del servizio.
In un luogo che ha quel prezzo a notte ci si aspetta un servizio molto più preciso:
Le tovagliette sui comodini e quelle per la colazione e cena erano sporche.
La cena carissima per gli standard della zona e per quello che è stato servito.
Il manager non ci ha informato prima su tutte le attività che era possibile fare, se non i massaggi, e quando siamo arrivate abbiamo chiesto se fosse possibile fare una lezione di yoga la risposta è stata negativa perché, giustamente, c'era poco preavviso.
Il posto ha un enorme potenziale ma dovrebbe essere curato un po' di più.

A unique estate with great character and a strong sense of place.
Pros:

Beautiful and distinctive villa with lots of charm. Excellent hospitality and genuinely warm service throughout our stay. Dinner and breakfast served to the room were very good and added to the relaxed, intimate experience. Service was attentive and thoughtful.

Cons:

We stayed in a room with an outdoor shower only, which was less convenient.
