As this resort is located on the eastern shore of Lake Vembanad, and so only reachable by boat, you'll be picked up from your embarkation point by the hotel's own launch. The boats operate once an hour on a schedule to minimise the disturbance to birds. The ride takes 15 minutes.

The forty-nine cottages are styled on typical houses from surrounding villages and are set within a network of irrigation canals in a coconut grove. Each air-conditioned room is furnished in jackwood, with intricate window carvings and terracotta tile floors. Some bathrooms are partly open to a private open-air courtyard, complete with a banana or coconut tree. Please note that there are no televisions in any of the rooms.

The hotel's swimming pool is positioned overlooking the lake. There is a gym, a spa, and several dining choices. Ettukettu is the multi-cuisine restaurant. Aymanam serves light dishes such as dosa during the day and specialises in seafood for dinner. Private dining is available at the Paddy Hut.
