Bolgatty Island Resort (KTDC)

A getaway from the hustle and bustle of work to a truly refreshing air. The room was facing towards the marina and it is a delight looking at the boats and the fisherman plying on the waters in the morning. Food is excellent and so are the rooms.

We were quarantined for a week at Bolgatty palace resort and had very pleasant stay. The food served was homely and the service was exemplary. The Marina view is stunning. Worth the money. Would definitely recommend this place for a good vacation.

We loved our three weeks here. Such a welcoming helpful staff, enjoyed the food and the pool. The Kathakali evening shouldn't be missed. We felt thoroughly spoiled. Thank-you for making this such a wonderful stopover on our voyage across the Indian Ocean.

Nearly 20 of middle-aged but fun-loving college friends (and one 81 year old mum!) reunited after several years (some from nearly 40 years ago) at KTDC Bolgatty Palacy and Resort - where we had come to for the first time - and were pleasantly surprised to find spacious rooms (where all of us crammed in for our music sessions!), obliging room service (who brought up everything from limes to chairs!), great food at the restaurant (who obliged with a slightly late celebration of an 81st birthday!), and a lovely venue to wander around and to take a boat cruise from the jetty. All this - and the reasonable price tag - made the guests vote it the most likely venue for future reunions, so, well done, Manoj the Manager and your staff at KTDC Bolgatty, thanks for everything, you were great ... keep it up, and we'll be back!

We had a family get together at Bolgatty Palace and Island Resorts. We were a big group of about 30 people and we spent 3 nights at the resort. Initially the guests were unsure of whether we would have enough to do at the resort for that many days but it turned out to be absolutely great! The resort is on an island in the middle of Keralas renowned backwaters and it serves as a perfect locale to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the backwaters while at the same time providing easy access to the vibrant Kochi city. The resort has well laid out lawns, swimming pool with a view and the historic Dutch-built Bolgatty palace serves as the backdrop for all the fun. We had great fun dancing on New Years Eve, going for boat rides from the resorts pier, playing water polo at the swimming pool, engaging in a game of cricket and watching Keralas art form, Kathakali, that was organized by the resort. The rooms are big and very spacious and room service was super responsive, attentive to all our needs. Food was very good and the chef was very willing to accommodate our special requests. Their caramel custard is a must try! Overall, the guests had a great time and we all returned with troves of great memories!
