What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Cottages

I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious cottages at Kalathil Lake Resort. Each unit has a lovely attached balcony and a comfortable layout that allows for relaxation while enjoying beautiful views of the surroundings. The bathrooms were well-maintained and provided all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Truly, they exceeded my expectations!

Sumptuous Meals

During my stay, the meals served in the dining hall were simply sumptuous! The variety offered at breakfast, lunch, and dinner was satisfying, and I appreciated the quality of the food. However, it's worth noting that you need to place orders in advance for both lunch and dinner. This ensures a good culinary experience worth savoring.

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.
