The staff were excellent. ##### Vid Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ajit Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It's a good for honeymoon couples. There's nothing for sightseeing. I don't know why it's so famous. There are no shops or restaurants nearby. One has to dine in resort's restaurant only. Food is good ##### Ajit Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jude Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ripples Resort made our Kerala vacation. The food, service, and accommodations were all excellent. We stayed for five nights. We had a bungalow near the canal. It was spacious, with a big living room, a bedroom, a small dressing area (I think), and an outdoor shower. It felt peaceful and private. We did yoga on the last three days. I wish we’d started earlier. Deepa, the instructor, checked in with us and built routines that worked for our level. I’m not usually into yoga, but I looked forward to it each morning. The food was everything I’d hoped for—authentic Kerala dishes, full of flavor. One morning, I even got to try sweet toddy. That was a treat. There were bugs, but picaridin saved the day. I've stayed in other resorts in the area. I'm going back to this place. ##### Jude Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sony Mar 29, 2024 Not what I expected ##### Sony Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing stay We stayed four nights and had an amazing time. Sindhu looked after us and we did the daily boat trip and made use of the bikes to explore the area. The room was lovely and shower powerful and hot. Saila In the restaurant was so lovely always helpful and always smiling nothing was too much trouble for her thank you. Ayyappan the pool man made sure we had towels and also arranged the kayaking for us and was very helpful and friendly man. We had a wonderful stay here and can not recommend the hotel highly enough so relaxing just perfect stay and the staff are so helpful and friendly. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9F7B427FCB5EF05A856034387BBBC5DA562AEAEC1708657520899.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F15B8AC333FE346E8D4CEDDFDD3736E78F92A4B01708657522368.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sathish May 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service The property is good and located in the best of the entire stretch of Kumarakom. Rooms are spacious and very well maintained. Restaurant service needs to improve, staff are not courteous and friendly. Used the spa Kerala massage service, it was not a great service and better to check the pricing and services provided before opting for a treatment ##### Sathish Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver Mar 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Grossartig Großartig! Jeden Abend gibt es eine Gratissonnenuntergangsbootsfahrt. Das Freiluftbadezimmer hat mir besonders gefallen. Nicht zu vergessen, der Infinitypool. Manchmal gab es kleinere Kommunikationsprobleme weil das Personal meist nur gebrochen Englisch spricht und ich kein Hindi kann. ##### Oliver Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 27, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice location, excellent service and food is very good. Ongoing construction is real nuisance especially during the day. There should be a warning about during the booking process ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie Feb 18, 2025 ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ruchi Nov 24, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service ##### Ruchi Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### sandip Nov 5, 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### sandip Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carolyn Beach Inn & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Thessalon-Hotels-Carolyn-Beach-Inn-Restaurant.h1465442.Hotel-Information) > > [EXE Saldanha](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels-EXE-Saldanha.h40203380.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leela Kovalam, a Raviz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thiruvananthapuram-Hotels-The-Raviz-Kovalam.h848868.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Dreams-Playa-Mujeres-Golf-Spa-Resort.h13363267.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Grenada Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Georges-Hotels-Radisson-Grenada-Beach-Resort.h16281.Hotel-Information) > > [Auberge Les Bons Matins](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Auberge-Les-Bons-Matins.h2519367.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Green Cove Resort & Spa Kovalam](https://www.expedia.ca/Thiruvananthapuram-Hotels-Taj-Green-Cove-Resort-Spa-Kovalam.h1170004.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Regina](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Regina.h422943.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Vallarta-All-Inclusive.h5216008.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Caribe Beach Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Melia-Caribe-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h24430693.Hotel-Information) > > [Ski Hotels in Saint-Sauveur](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Sauveur-Hotels-Ski-Hotel.0-0-d177763-tSkiHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Park Lane New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Park-Lane-Hotel.h2714.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Taj Bekal Resort & Spa, Kerala](https://www.expedia.ca/Hosdurg-Hotels-Taj-Bekal-Resort-Spa.h4720600.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxx/toronto-to-abbotsford) > > [flights from buffalo niagara intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/buf/flights-from-buffalo-niagara-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Auckland (AKL) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/akl/yyc/auckland-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Muharraq (BAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/bah/edmonton-to-manama) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/maa/montreal-to-chennai) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Prague (PRG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/prg/ottawa-to-prague) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to British Columbia (YXJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yxj/ottawa-to-fort-saint-john) > > [Flights from Penticton (YYF) to Terrace (YXT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyf/yxt/penticton-to-terrace) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/lhr/detroit-to-london) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/dfw/winnipeg-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Gander (YQX) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqx/yow/gander-to-ottawa) ### Activities > [Things to do in Surrey](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Surrey.d9759.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Seven Mile Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Seven-Mile-Beach.d601786.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Maya Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Maya-Bay-Koh-Phi-Phi-Leh.d6287895.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Japan Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Japan.d89.Destination-Travel-Guides)
