Xandari Riverscapes is a three star property near Pallathurathy Bridge on the edge of Alappuzha, the headquarters of Alappuzha district, 4.7 km from the centre of town. It holds a 4.4 out of 5 guest score from 712 reviews. The deciding factor is the water: this is a base for ferries and Kuttanad's below sea level farmland, not a resort to hide inside.
What the property offers
Xandari Riverscapes is a three star property with a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 712 reviews. Air conditioning and non smoking rooms cover the basics, and family rooms widen the choice for those travelling with children. Room service, laundry, luggage storage and a concierge handle the practical side of a stay, while 24 hour security and free parking remove two common worries.
The listed facilities also include a bar and breakfast, a terrace, canoeing and fishing, plus car hire and a shuttle service. Canoeing and fishing matter most here because the setting is water. The bar and terrace give the evenings somewhere to go. Breakfast is listed, so the first meal of the day is covered.
Where it sits
The property stands near Pallathurathy Bridge in Alappuzha, the headquarters of Alappuzha district, in South Kerala. It is 4.7 km from the centre of Alappuzha, near the coast, and the destination reads as water. Alappuzha sits at 0 to 2 m above sea level, so the land and the canals are close to the same level.
Alappuzha is the destination town itself, which keeps the reason for coming simple. The public ferries leave from here and Kuttanad farming country starts at the edge of town, the only place in India where rice is grown below sea level. Kochi airport traffic is one hour by road, so the property works as a first or last stop.
Who it suits
Xandari Riverscapes suits travellers who want Alappuzha's water and farmland as the main event, with canoeing, fishing, a terrace and a bar close at hand. It also suits families, given the family rooms, and drivers, given the free parking. It does not suit anyone wanting a quiet resort removed from town life: the property is 4.7 km from the centre, near the coast, and its appeal is the working water around it.
When to plan a stay
August to March reads best on the water, so aim for those months if the canals and ferries are the point of the trip. The southwest monsoon is spectacular and wet, with high canals and short light, which changes the character of a stay. Book the season around what you want from the water.
