The staff are very friendly. The food at the restaurant was outstanding and services at the spa were excellent. I highly recommend.Fragrant Nature Retreat and Resort.
The property is excellent, well maintained and the staff and service were wonderful .
We had a private pool which was well kept and so was the public pool.
Breakfast was good. Beautiful setting. It was short but sweet visit, would have stayed longer if we could
Lovely property close to the mangrove Islands. The dining options at the property is very good.
The wifi is shared per device which creates a hassle but is a tiny blip in the otherwise beautiful experience

Beautiful property with a Great Lake view. Communication between different parts - reception and restaurant was poor hence caused confusion which resulted in extra charges. The management was not ready to solve the problem at first. So the experience was ruined. The next day the management agreed to meet halfway and offered a complimentary boat trip but since the experience was already ruined, we wanted to leave. But all the members of staff were very polite throughout the stay. And the spa experience was brilliant. Not sure if I would go back.
Absolutely loved our stay here. All the staff including the manager go out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect. Rooms are clean and the food very good and very reasonable priced. We came mainly for the spa which again is excellent. However it’s the location on the waters edge with well kept gardens that really adds to the ‘feel good factor’ I was taken out on the kayaks which is something I would highly recommend especially at dusk/sunset where you can really appreciate the beauty of where you are. The half hour boat trip included in the cost of your stay is also highly recommended. Overall highly recommend.
A lovely backwater stay. Beautiful grounds. We really enjoyed the boat ride. The restaurant was the only disappointment. Despite repeated communication that one person did not want hot food and assurances that they would alter the food, it was still too spicy hot to eat.
The staff are amazing and very attentive. I’ve enjoyed spa treatments every day and enjoyed them all. I highly recommend this property. It’s very peaceful and serene.

Relaxing few days
Relaxing few days at the Fragrant Nature. Superb location and wonderful staff. Excellent breakfast and dinner. Take advantage of the sunset kayak trip through Mangrove Safari just across the road. If you like to walk, seek out the Meenad-Polachira trail by the Polichira lake.

Lovely location and great food
The room had everything we needed but the beds are very firm and the doors -and windows have significant gaps when closed allowing noise, insects etc into the room.
Reception staff and management were brilliantly helpful and the food in the restaurant was excellent.
This resort was a dream. The property is gorgeous. Incredibly well maintained. The staff are very attentive and helpful. I had spa treatments every day with Shiva and she was absolutely amazing! The hotel manager, Rahul, helped organize two day trips and my ride to the train station. I would highly recommend this resort! 👍
