Deshadan Backwater Resort - the Best Sunrise View

Excellent property , it's a Lakeside Resort with awesome view, cordial staff -mouthwatering food .Rooms are spacious as well as neat and clean. Very peaceful atmosphere, really like the place. Ideal place to enjoy with your family exclusively if you love the nature.

Staff were very helpful and organised our activities and transfers .one of the Bathrooms had mouldy smell which needs resolving. In quiet location but easy to get taxi organised at reception . Food quality was ok if a little slow . Otherwise had enjoyable stay.

Avoid! Such a sorry state. NOT a 4* location. Breakfast was always cold and buffet not refilled unless someone asked for something. Sambar was always cold, and we’d be scrapping to collect enough. They would run out of cut fruit. A very poor breakfast. Nothing was properly seasoned or flavored. Neither Tea nor Coffee was to basic expectations. Both were milky and had hardly any flavor other than milk. Ordered of tea and coffee always took extensive amount of time even if all you ask for is hot milk and a tea bag. Rooms have an unbearable stink. The bathroom vent doesn’t vent out so need to make sure to close the door or the rest of the room reeks. Pool is very small. As a 4*, one would expect a gym! There is no gym. The loaner bikes were all running low on air with poor tires so quite risky to take out on a ride. Location is actually not so convenient. Be mindful you’d be paying a lot of premium price for taxis to take u anywhere. 1000 rs to go to Alleppy or to Kumarakom. 3000 rs from COK. 2000 rs to Cochin. No restaurants around so must go to Kumarakom or Alleppy to go to a decent restaurant.

If you want to truly experience a run down backwater resort this is it. The cleanliness in the rooms to the restaurant was thoroughly lacking. Very poor facilities in the rooms and the restaurant sited over a pool of stagnant water is just a flavour of what to expect.

Amazing location and hospitality. Food options should expand.

Oh, where do I even begin with my exhilarating experience at Deshadan Backwater Resort? Let's start with the awe-inspiring ambiance, shall we? Picture this: stepping into the room felt like diving into a landfill. The aroma of musty rooms combined with the fragrance of neglected laundry truly made me feel at home... if home was a dumpster. And oh, the décor! straight from the 1980's, The cracked walls and stained ceilings were truly avant-garde, in a "we gave up on maintenance" kind of way. Let's talk about cleanliness. Or should I say, the lack thereof? If you're a fan of mysterious stains on your sheets, Cobwebs and critter companions scuttling across the floor, then congratulations. In conclusion, if you enjoy wallowing in despair and reveling in the decay of human civilization, Deshadan Backwater Resort is the perfect destination for you. Just don't forget your hazmat suit and a healthy dose of self-loathing. Cheers!
