Kayaloram Heritage Lake Resort is a three star property on the Punnamada stretch of Alappuzha, the water town that gives Kerala its backwater postcards. Four facilities are on the list: free parking, a garden, a children's pool and an outdoor pool. The deciding factor is whether you want a quiet, self contained base within easy reach of the town and its ferries. It has a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 364 reviews.
What the resort lists
Kayaloram Heritage Lake Resort is a three star property and the facilities are few and plain: free parking, a garden, a children's pool and an outdoor pool. For a family with young children, the two pools are the practical centre of a stay: the children's pool keeps the shallow end separate, and the outdoor pool gives everyone else somewhere to cool off after a day on the water. The garden provides a green place to sit between swims.
None of this amounts to a resort with a long list of services, and the guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 364 reviews suggests most people get what they expect rather than more. If you are looking for a base with a pool and parking, and you will spend your days out on the backwaters, the list covers what you need. If you want a fuller set of facilities, this is not that place.
Where the resort sits
The address places Kayaloram Heritage Lake Resort at Punnamada in Alappuzha, in Alappuzha district, in South Kerala. Alappuzha is the headquarters of Alappuzha district, and the resort is 4.9 km from the centre of Alappuzha. It is near the coast.
The destination is Alappuzha, which is the town itself, and the kind of destination is water, at an altitude of 0 to 2 m. Punnamada is the name most people know from the boat race, and the water is the reason to be here. Being 4.9 km from the centre means you are outside the busiest streets, close enough to reach the town when you need it.
Who the resort suits
Kayaloram Heritage Lake Resort suits families who want a pool and parking as part of a water focused trip, and anyone who prefers a base slightly away from the centre of Alappuzha. It does not suit travellers who want a broad range of facilities on site, because the listed facilities are limited to free parking, a garden, a children's pool and an outdoor pool. If a long list of services is central to your holiday, look elsewhere.
When to plan a stay
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 are coming for the water and the ferries, that window gives you the clearest days. Outside it, expect rain and a different kind of trip.
