My stay at Kalathil Lake Resort had its ups and downs. The location was stunning, surrounded by lush nature and providing a tranquil atmosphere. The cottages were spacious, offering beautiful views, but the overall maintenance of the property left much to be desired. While the staff was very courteous, the dining experience was hit-or-miss, with food that wasn't always hot or fresh. Despite its beautiful setting, I felt that the resort was a bit overpriced given the issues I encountered.

My stay at Kalathil Resort was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the views and natural surroundings were absolutely beautiful, making for a serene escape. However, the service left much to be desired, and several facilities, like the swimming pool, could use serious improvement. Overall, I enjoyed the nature aspect but was disappointed with the overall experience and service quality.
