Every year, Kerala acknowledges and honours its best in the field of Tourism. Here, we would like to invite your attention to two such service providers.
Best Heritage Hotel - Coconut Lagoon
Recipient of the State tourism award for the 'Best Heritage Hotel in Kerala', the Coconut Lagoon of CGH (Casino Group of Hotels) Earth at Kumarakom is set in the midst of luxuriant greenery, in an elegant layout of traditional Kerala architecture.
Coconut Lagoon comes with a swimming pool, an Ayurveda centre, a centre for Yoga and meditation, recreation area and a training centre for Kerala's martial art - Kalaripayattu. This heritage hotel is quite captivating for its art work on wood and brass that adorns its walls and ceilings. Pick up a variety of antiques, showpieces, traditional ornaments, handicrafts, local dresses and assorted bric-a-brac. Many of the screw pines, coir and coconut-based products made by the local village women are also displayed here.
Steeped in serenity, simplicity, and silence, Coconut Lagoon has heritage mansions, bungalows and pool villas, surrounded by captivating sights of the Kumarakom backwaters.
Coconut Lagoon also offers you the means to experience village life, unfolding in vignettes along grassy banks, shaded by tropical canopies and the village houses nearby.
The cuisine is another highlight of Coconut Lagoon. Here you may taste authentic Malabari food. You would relish here giant freshwater prawns, karimeen (pearl spot fish) and of course a wide selection of international favorites. The butterfly garden and canoes plying silently on the backwater and the bird calls from its neighbour - the Kumarakom bird sanctuary, add to the magical charm of the place.
