Top Vayalar Hotel Reviews

Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa

Gokulam Grand Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Grand Gokulam Kumarakom is truly magnificent. The location on the backwaters is breathtaking, and the architecture, with its beautiful use of wood and traditional design, makes the entire property feel special. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were exceptional, always attentive, genuinely warm, and constantly looking for ways to help. The level of hospitality was beyond anything I expected. The food was also among the best I’ve had at a hotel. The breakfast buffet had an incredible variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. We stayed in a lake-view cottage, and it honestly felt like living like a king. Waking up to those serene, breathtaking views of the backwaters was an experience in itself. Overall, Grand Gokulam Kumarakom is a truly exceptional property. Beautiful surroundings, stunning architecture, outstanding service, and fantastic food — everything came together to make our stay unforgettable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious experience in Kumarakom."
