Positives
The Lemon Tree Vembanad Lake Resort is a well located resort flanked with lush green surroundings. The rooms are spacious and there is a great view of the lakes from them. The hotel has their own private houseboats which are a real treat if you want to visit the backwaters. We took one such houseboat and went for a long trip on the beautiful backwaters; we found the houseboat really open and it had a Jacuzzi to top it all. The great view from the houseboats can act as an ideal timepass once you have lived in the villa for 1-2 days.

The rooms in the resort are well stocked with various facilities. We rented a DVD from the reception and watched some movies in the DVD player provided. There is also nice Ayurvedic spa cum massage centre nearby in which we had the renowned Kerala body massages, which were quite relaxing and soothing.
Negative
Though the crew worked hard but the service left a lot to be desired, sometimes they were quite slow and sometimes they had problems understanding the language. The food is another area where the resort has a lot of scope to improve.

We stayed there for almost 4 days but we were not particularly pleased with the quality of food served. Also the menu was not keeping up with the theme of the resort. Also no other quality eateries being in the surroundings the problem is compounded and hence we had to bear with the mediocre food.
After dusk there is some issues with insects something which the hotel authorities valiantly tried to do away with. Had a decent stay and is good for a one-off trip if you are looking to keep it short. Budget wise it is sort of ok and it again depends on your choices.
How to better the experience
Try booking thru a good travel agent. They give discounts on room, houseboat, taxi nd everything and u face no hassle. We booked from www.antilogvacations.com which is quite good and reliable. They r honest & low cost. Booking directly frm Hotel can land u in not so good rooms & ur costings will be high
