Our 4 nights at Ameya exceeded expectations. The bedroom was spacious and beautifully furnished and we loved the outdoor bathroom/shower. The hotel grounds and views over the lake were stunning. We were very well looked after by Anish and his staff and the food was excellent. All and all a perfect place to end our stay in India.

It suited us very well but we would not recommend it for people with children who needed to be entertained.

The room was very comfortable and the bathroom lovely. Anish and his staff went the extra mile to ensure we had a good time. Food was beautifully presented and cooked.it was a beautiful place to chill out and relax in glorious surroundings.

This is one of the most fabulous places I have ever stayed in, and I’ve travelled a lot. It has been created with so much thought and love which shines through in all the attention to detail. Every corner is a photo opportunity. The owner/manager Anish is calm and helpful, the staff are delightful and the food is delicious. The saltwater pool is great, I had a private yoga session and an Ayurvedic massage, the whole stay was so relaxing, a retreat from reality. Just gazing at the lake, the ducks, the trees, fruit, flowers and changing light is all you need to do. We loved the Shanti bungalow over the water. Really hard to leave!

The all thing that was a little disappointing, I went to swim early in the day and the pool looked like it needed some attention. As I like to swim this was really only a pool to cool off in but was a beautiful setting. Wasn't brave enough to swim in the lake.

The accommodation and setting were fabulous, we had dinner both nights which we really enjoyed. The breakfast was very delicious. The staff are wonderful and make you feel very at home. Anish the manager is so helpful and can help you with any questions you might have he is so efficient. Managed to book Mr Sunil who was available for all of the driving jobs that we needed and made our travels so comfortable and straightforward. Mr Sunil was very knowledgeable about the roads and surrounding areas. We went on the bird sanctuary boat ride, which we really enjoyed. Thank you so much Anish, Mr Sunil and the lovely ladies serving breakfast and dinner. Special thanks to Sudha and Simi such charming ladies. However, all of the ladies Manju, Asha, Resmi and Jeyakumari were great. Can not recommend this property and experience enough. Thank you allso much.

Booking the Ameya Resort was one of the best decisions that we made during our trip to Kerala! This place is a paradise on earth. From the facilities to the staff - everything was pure perfection. **Advise to all of the travellers; if you want to have a boat trip on the black waters of Kerala, I would recommend to do it from this location instead of Alappuzha (Ameya resort can arrange that for you). We took boat trips in both locations, and it was much less crowded and the views were more spectacular from this side of the Vembanad lake.

It was exceptional. Quiet and exclusive with only four rooms on the whole property

I assumed a lot of people were being nit-picky about the crows, but there really are a lot of crows. You will never experience 100% peacefulness because the crows are quite loud. One even jumped on our breakfast table which we were not thrilled about. Food was okay. PLEASE remember that if you have a driver that they will provide accommodations for them (it is now the law in Kerala); we had a little issue with our driver the first night but it was eventually resolved.

Location is nice with great views and sprawling property. Room was gorgeous, the whole property paid lots of attention to detail. Nice breakfast. Staff very friendly. Nice pool.

Everything was great.

There are no words to describe this property. A wholesome stay. The hosts were so welcoming. It was perfect, specially the food.

The open air shower was not something we prefer but was ok. The toilet was remote from the main room and cumbersome to get to.

Our room ((Shanti) had lovely view overlooking the pools, garden and the lake. It was very spacious.We really liked the veranda that projects out over the pond. The main building has a lovely open plan lounge. There is a yoga centre and a message facility. All the meals were very good and delivered to the Veranda.

Best place I’ve ever stayed in! The most gorgeous property with so much attention to detail. The staff are so lovely and helpful. Can’t fault this place

There are a lot of crows…nothing to be done and is the same in all of Kerala, but worth mentioning in case someone has a fear of birds!

Words cannot describe how wonderful my stay here was. The staff couldn’t have done more to look after me and make me feel at home. I spent my days swimming in the pool, doing yoga in the gardens, reading my book and completely switching off and relaxing. I took a tour to a nearby temple, a cooking class and 2 boat rides while I was there, all activities were well organised and very enjoyable. Every meal was delicious and although slightly pricier than local restaurants was still very affordable and value for money considering the location and personalisation. I wish I’d had more time to enjoy the Ayurvedic treatments. Ameya also helped with transfers to and from the property at very reasonable prices. As a solo female traveller I was worried I might feel a bit isolated or awkward but I immediately felt like one of the family. The place is really like a home from home and the rooms are spectacular. I felt like I experienced ‘how the other half live’ for a few days - I felt like a queen in my jungle palace being waited on hand and foot. Thoroughly recommend for a few days R&R, I stayed 3 nights and could have stayed longer.

Paradise, considering the surrounding area. Everything what was described is true and photos are corresponding with the reality. Welcoming team: Mr. Nataraj, chef Prahlad and all the ladies that were making our stay great.

Stunning location, so quiet and tranquil right on the lake. The staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you, they can organise boat trips etc and had great recommendations. They only have space for 8 guests so it feels like a special retreat. Salt water pool was lovely and really private too. Would highly recommend.

Nope, cannot think of anything that needs improvement.

We booked 3 days at Ameya and added an extra one. Amazing garden, top notch bungalow and great swimming pool overviewing the lake. 4 times upclass dinner served at our own bungalow and we once took the opportunity to join the chef delivering his masterpieces. Everything perfect because of Anish (always ready to explain Indian history and Kerala culture) and his staff constantly running the extra mile and then doing one more. Highly recommended!

This place is truly magical. It is a French families home rented out when they are not there. With serene private gardens and views to die for it is an amazing place to unwind. We watched the sun go down over the lake with the birds coming home to roost then got up at dawn to just watch the place come to life. With superb food and attentive staff this is a wonderful place to stay.
