Island Lake Resort Alleppey is a three star property on Starting Point Road in Alappuzha, South Kerala, with a bar and breakfast among its listed facilities. The water and the public ferries define this town. With a guest score of 3.9 from 58 reviews, the place suits travellers who want Alappuzha as a working base rather than a houseboat berth.
The property itself
Island Lake Resort Alleppey is a three star property on Starting Point Road in Alappuzha. The listed facilities are a bar and breakfast; that pairing is the practical shape of a stay here. Breakfast settles the morning without a hunt through town, and the bar gives the evening a fixed point when you would rather not go out again.
Guest reviews put it at 3.9 out of 5 from 58 reviews, a score that reads as solid rather than polished. No other facilities are on file, so plan around the bar and breakfast and treat everything else as something to arrange in Alappuzha itself. The setting on Starting Point Road keeps you close to the water side of town.
Where it sits
The property is in Alappuzha, the headquarters of Alappuzha district, in South Kerala. Alappuzha is the destination, a water town, and the property sits near the coast. It is 3.4 km from the centre of Alappuzha, so the town is close but not on the doorstep.
The address places it on Starting Point Road near Starting Point, which matters because the public ferries leave from here and they beat an overnight houseboat on every measure that matters. This is South Kerala and the wider draw of the area is Kuttanad farming country, which starts at the edge of town. Note that the destination stands at 0 to 2 m above sea level.
Who it suits
It suits travellers who want to use Alappuzha as a base for the water and the ferry network rather than as a houseboat overnight. It also suits a first or last stop, since you are one hour by road from Kochi airport traffic. It does not suit anyone who needs a full resort spread of facilities: a bar and breakfast are what is listed, and the three star rating and 3.9 score set expectations at that level.
Planning a stay
Time the trip to the season: August to March reads best on the water. The southwest monsoon is spectacular and wet; the canals are high and the light is short. Outside that window, expect the water to look different and plan your days around shorter daylight.

Questions people ask
What facilities does Island Lake Resort Alleppey list?
The listed facilities are a bar and breakfast. Nothing else appears in the facilities list, so any further arrangements belong to Alappuzha rather than the property. The bar and breakfast are what the property itself provides, and the rest of your day you shape around the town.
Is there a guest rating for the property?
Yes. The guest score is 3.9 out of 5 from 58 reviews. That is a middling to good score rather than an exceptional one, and it fits the three star rating. Read it as a reasonable base rather than a polished resort.
How far is Island Lake Resort Alleppey from Alappuzha town?
It is 3.4 km from the centre of Alappuzha. The property sits on Starting Point Road, near Starting Point, and the public ferries leave from here. That placement makes it practical for the water and for getting into town without being in the middle of it.
When is the best time to stay in Alappuzha?
August to March reads best on the water. The southwest monsoon is spectacular and wet; the canals are high and the light is short. If you come in the monsoon, plan for heavy rain and shorter days, and treat the high canals as part of the experience.
