Facilities and guest score

Coco Bay Resort is a three star property. Guest reviews give it 4.2 out of 5 from 738 reviews, a score that suggests most past guests found it satisfactory rather than exceptional. The facilities are broad for the rating. Two pools, one indoor and one outdoor, sit alongside a hot tub, sauna, steam room, massage and spa. A fitness centre and games room cover indoor time. The restaurant and pool bar handle meals and drinks, with room service and a 24 hour front desk for irregular hours.

Practical details include air conditioning, a balcony, a refrigerator and non smoking rooms. Free WiFi and free parking are provided, and there is a business centre, banquet hall, laundry, luggage storage, concierge, currency exchange and car hire. A shuttle service is listed. Fishing is available, which fits the lake setting. The list is long, but it is the water and wellness group that shapes most stays here.

The setting by the lake

Coco Bay Resort sits outside Kottayam, in the wider Kottayam district, within South Kerala. The address is Kumarakom North. The property is 10.8 km from the centre of Kottayam and 2.5 km from Kumarakom. Kottayam is the headquarters of Kottayam district. The hotel is inland, set back from the lake itself, so the water is a short transfer away rather than at the door.

Kumarakom is a cluster of islands on the east bank of Vembanad, the largest lake in Kerala, with a bird sanctuary at one end and the widest water in the state in front of it. It is quieter than Alappuzha, and built around the lake rather than the canals. The open lake, rather than a town canal, is the reason the region is photographed, and the cross-lake ferry to Muhamma is a thirty-minute crossing most visitors never hear about. October to March is the season; the lake turns choppy and brown under the southwest monsoon.

Who it suits and who it does not

Coco Bay Resort suits guests who want a full facility set, two pools, a spa and a restaurant, with the lake a short transfer away and Kottayam reachable for errands. It also suits families, given the games room and the indoor and outdoor pools. It does not suit travellers who expect to step out onto the lake or into a town. The property is inland, 2.5 km from Kumarakom and 10.8 km from the centre of Kottayam. If either distance is a problem, look closer to the water.

When to plan a stay

October to March is the season for Kumarakom. The lake is at its calmest and the light is clearest, which is when the open water is worth the transfer from Coco Bay Resort. The southwest monsoon turns the lake choppy and brown, so the water-facing reason for coming weakens. The indoor pool, spa and sauna hold up in poorer weather, but plan around the season if the lake is the point.
