Sterling Lake Palace Alleppey is a five star property in Thirumala Ward, 3.5 km from the centre of Alappuzha in Alappuzha district, South Kerala. It holds a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 6044 reviews. The breadth of facilities makes it a resort in its own right rather than a simple base, which is the decisive point: you trade proximity to the town centre for space, quiet and things to do on site.

Where it sits
The address is Thirumala Ward, Alappuzha, in Alappuzha district, South Kerala. Alappuzha is the headquarters of Alappuzha district, and the hotel is 3.5 km from the centre of Alappuzha. It is near the coast, and the destination kind is water, with the land at 0 to 2 m above sea level.
The public ferries leave from Alappuzha, and they beat an overnight houseboat on every measure that matters. Kuttanad farming country starts at the edge of town: the only place in India where rice is grown below sea level. One hour by road from Kochi airport traffic, so it works as a first or last stop.
Who it suits
This suits families, couples and anyone who wants a full service resort with pools, spa, dining and children's facilities in one place, and who does not mind being 3.5 km from the centre of Alappuzha. It also suits guests who value a five star rating and a large review base. It does not suit travellers who want to step out of the door into the town centre or the ferry piers, or those who prefer a small, simple property.
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 want the canals at their fullest and do not mind rain, the monsoon months deliver that, but daylight is limited. For drier days and clearer light, aim between August and March.
