Vembanad Island, Vaikom hotel rooms at the Independent

"Absolutely phenomenal property. There is a lot to do from fishing and kayaking to pottery and cultural programs. The staff too was exceptional. I regret not getting staff members names as they were very thoughtful and helpful. Highly recommend spending a few days at this resort."

"We enjoyed the stay here."

"Beautiful hotel.. words can’t describe the beauty. "

"The property is very well maintained . The food provided was also very good. "

"Property was closed and not been open for some time!! A scam! Dont book!"

"Hotel is nice and clean but service is sub par. Takes too long to get any items and little things like extra towels or toilet paper were hard to get"

"Very nice, very helpful staff. Lovely property—especially the villas with private pools. Good gym, good restaurant. Only downside is that it’s pretty isolated with not a lot to do nearby. But if relaxation is what you want, you’ll get it."

"Property in great location, right on backwaters. Room was excellent and new like condition. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay."
