The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Kerala Cuisine

The food at The World Backwaters was really good! I especially loved the authentic Kerala dishes, particularly the Meen Moile, which was absolutely to die for. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of local specialties each day. Plus, the chef personally checked on us to ensure we were satisfied with our meals, which was a really nice touch.

Luxurious Private Villa

I stayed in the Presidential Villa with my family, and it was a dream! The private pool was spacious enough for all of us to enjoy together. The rooms were well-designed, clean, and offered magnificent views of the Vembanad Lake. The layout was perfect for our large group, making it a truly comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Serene Pool Experience

The swimming pool at this resort was a highlight of my trip. It's designed with an infinity edge that overlooks the beautiful backwaters. I enjoyed some relaxing evenings floating and taking in the amazing views. There were separate areas for kids, making it a perfect spot for family fun.

Kids' Fun Zone

Our children had a blast at the resort! There is a kid-friendly pool where they spent hours playing, and the play area was a hit as well. The resort also offered cycles for us to ride around, which made for a fun family adventure. It's truly a perfect spot for families!

I had an awesome stay at this hotel with exclusive personal swimming pools alongside a beautiful common pool. The rooms were very clean and perfect for my guest on the CP plan. The service was truly amazing and so helpful. However, I did notice a lack of energy and enthusiasm in some of the staff members. The location was fine, with a nice view of the lake from the rooms. The dining experience was not up to the mark, but the hand-made pasta was a highlight. Overall, a great value for money hotel with some minor room for improvement.
