Mira's PMC Lakeshore Resort is a four star property in Kainakary, 5.5 km from the centre of Alappuzha in Alappuzha district, South Kerala. Guest score is 4.1 out of 5 from 739 reviews. The one thing that decides whether it is right for you is whether you want a full resort with pools, dining and shuttle service as a base for Kuttanad's backwaters, or a simpler place in town.
The property and its facilities
Mira's PMC Lakeshore Resort lists air conditioning, family rooms, non smoking rooms and a kitchen, which suits longer stays or groups. The outdoor pool and children's pool give the resort a clear family edge. Breakfast is served, and there is a cafe, a bar and a restaurant, so meals do not require leaving the property. A concierge can arrange taxi service and shuttle service, and room service is available.
For practical needs, free WiFi and free parking are listed, along with laundry and 24 hour security. Fishing is offered, which ties the resort to its Kuttanad setting. The four star rating and a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 739 reviews give a broad picture: well reviewed, with the facilities of a full service resort rather than a small guesthouse.
Where it sits
The address is Kainakary, in Alappuzha district, South Kerala. The town is Alappuzha, which is the headquarters of Alappuzha district. The distance to the town centre is 5.5 km. Alappuzha is a water destination, at 0 to 2 m above sea level.
Kuttanad farming country starts at the edge of town, and it is the only place in India where rice is grown below sea level. The public ferries leave from Alappuzha, and they beat an overnight houseboat on every measure that matters. The resort is 5.5 km from the centre of Alappuzha, so it is inland of the town rather than on the water. From Kochi airport traffic, the road takes one hour, which makes the location work as a first or last stop.
Who it suits
This resort suits families and groups who want pools, a restaurant and a bar on site, and who will use shuttle service or taxi service to reach Alappuzha's ferries rather than staying in the town itself. It does not suit anyone who wants to be within the town centre, or who wants a small, simple backwater stay without resort facilities. The distance to town is the deciding factor.
Planning 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. Plan around the season: the resort's outdoor pool and children's pool are usable in the drier months, while the monsoon months are for the water views and the wet, high canals. Fishing is available if you want to use the water directly.
What the property lists
