Delicious Buffet Breakfast

I was genuinely impressed by the breakfast buffet offered at the resort. The spread was hearty and included various Indian delicacies that satisfied our taste buds. Each morning, my family and I looked forward to starting our day with such a good meal.

Relaxing Infinity Pool

The swimming pool at the resort is fantastic! It overlooks the serene Vembanad Lake and has an infinity feel that made for great photo opportunities. I spent hours savoring the peaceful atmosphere while my kids splashed around happily.

This resort offers a mesmerizing view by the lake, especially enjoyable with a morning coffee. The swimming pool is well-maintained, providing a great spot to relax. However, the food options are limited and not very flavorful, which is definitely a downside. Overall, the experience was quite pleasant, yet the pricing didn't quite match the dining quality.

The World Backwater Resort offers a stunning location overlooking Vembanad Lake, which is truly breathtaking. The resort provides various activities for families, and the pool area is beautiful and well-kept. However, the dining experience leaves much to be desired, with limited and insipid food options that could be improved. Additionally, the service can feel a bit detached at times. Overall, it's a great resort for its ambiance, but dining and service could use enhancements.

I had an unforgettable stay at this resort, nestled beautifully by the backwaters. The ambiance is relaxing, and the friendliness of the staff made it feel like home. Although the room was spacious and comfortable, I'd suggest a little improvement in housekeeping. The dining experience was superb, with fresh and delicious food, but could benefit from more breakfast options. Overall, it’s a great value for money and a peaceful getaway.

I had an incredible stay at this resort, surrounded by thebeautiful backwaters that make Alleppey famous. The expansive views from our Presidential Villa were simply breathtaking, and the private pool was a highlight of our trip. While the service was outstanding, especially from John and the management team, I felt that the dining experience could have included more variety for breakfast. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to unwind, but there’s room for improvement in the dining options.
