I had a truly unpleasant experience at this resort. The common areas were dirty and the staff was rude, making my stay incredibly uncomfortable. Despite its potential for beautiful views, the unmaintained facilities overshadowed anything positive. I would advise looking elsewhere for a more enjoyable stay.

Our stay at this resort was absolutely delightful! The view from our room overlooking the lake was breathtaking, and the pool area was impeccably maintained. The hospitality from the staff, particularly Jesus, made our experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was that some additional activities could be organized for guests. Overall, it's a fantastic escape into nature with great amenities.

The resort has an idyllic location right on Vembanad Lake, offering stunning views, especially at sunset. The rooms are decent, but a bit of maintenance is needed. The service in the restaurant during dinner was disappointing and slow, which detracted from the experience. Overall, there's potential here, but it might not be suitable for families looking for lots of activities.

Desadan offers a beautiful location right on the banks of Vembanad Lake and the staff tried their best to be helpful. However, the maintenance of the facilities leaves much to be desired, and food prices were surprisingly high for the quality served. The plunge pool in the room was a nice touch, but the water quality was not up to standard, making it less appealing to use.

Rooms

While the location of the hotel is stunning with views over the lake, I found the quality of the room didn't quite match the beautiful setting. The amenities could use improvements, such as ensuring cleanliness in common areas and providing pool towels. Overall, a few tweaks could really enhance the experience here.
