Fragrant Nature Backwater Resort

We were very delighted with our recent stay at the fragrant nature resort Kollam. A great place to spend a short vacation ! very friendly, polite and professional staff. The ideal place for honeymooners! perfect location, excellent service, clean pool, nice breakfast, outstanding customer orientation. Our quarters was at an excellent location facing the back waters. We took proper advantage of the balcony and we enjoyed having been there. There seems to be an array of room styles with more of modern wooden contemporary style and with wider choices. We visited the spa and the area is very professionally managed with the most nicest fragrance. Though we did not do much of sporting, I found verity of choices including a badminton court. We have had an opportunity to be in the back waters on a speed boat and had an unforgettable mangrove experience with excellent view. (it reminded me Andaman interior islands) All credits go to management who keeps the property to one of the most elegant resort in India.

My husband and I spent 2 days at this property and we left with unforgettable and very refreshing memories. Wow ! its one of the most amazing properties we ever visited. The resort is an excellent place for all age groups. The most fascinating attraction was the cruise trip arranged by the hotel in Backwaters. Everything was perfect-- the food, spa, sports activities, pool, the quarters facing the back water etc etc.!

We arrived late to a warm welcome, the staff were so friendly , very skilled and professional. We had booked for 4 villas together and got all 4 close to each other. The view from the balcony was the lake. The rooms were so cozy , clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was superb , anytime you call them they were at your service. Moreover there were activities for children and they enjoyed the swimming pool. The evening tea is suited at a superb location where you can see the sunset as well. The resort is at a wonderful location and would highly recommend the same for minimum 2 nights. If you would like to have a relaxing , fun filled holiday this is the right place to go. " Value for money"....

This is a nice serene property with lot of nice plants in big area for someone who loves nature and peace . I visited for couple of nights including for new year eve . Bad part is service and lack of personal touch . On the boat ride from hotel , no coordination and guidance except a driver who understandably could not speak a word in common language Hindi or English . Took lot of effort to be able to get the right room type and location to meet my needs . Since they had a large group ,we had no attention of theirs to be able to get proper service without escalation . the new year eve food was limited options and worse was the way it was planned. it finished between 7 and 9 pm - while the show was going on arbitrarily the tables were removed as a signal to all to leave - presumably they needed that for another group . Since we had lot of foreigners - they all were told some stories and were all disappointed and most importantly I felt ashamed at this kind arbitrary and rude behaviour for a new year eve . In heinsigh It was a bad decision to visit this property .

After going through a narrow road once you reach inside the resort , it is just WOW :) well maintained, professional staff and good food is a big plus with this resort. They provided me a Lake view room which was having a great view towards west and you can watch and you can have an amazing experience of the SunSet from the balcony/Sitting area itself. Special thanks to Rahul who is managing the guests, Swaroop who was supervisor at restaurant. Thanks for the great experience and a memorable holiday at Fragrant nature as per tag line "simply be you".

We were looking for a Ayurvedic wellness experience - vegetarian food to help us with our weight loss objectives and Ayurvedic massages - we found a great gem. The Spa played an important part in our daily routine - morning and evening massages - Dr Vishnu and Dr Amrita were excellent and could help guide us on the Ayurvedic treatments - our Masseuse/Masseur Reshmi and Pretheesh did an excellent job supported by Sivapriya and Abith . Yoga - daily yoga was handled by Harsh Kumar - we had to ask him to speak slowly and clearly as in his enthusiasm he would gallop with his words and difficult to follow - excellent Yoga . The resort itself was located along the lake - beautiful - sun rises and sunsets were wonderful to watch - the resort has a large boat as well as a speed boat and it is fun going into the mangroves .- accommodation was clean and well maintained and staff super friendly - our doctor tailor made our meals to include our preferred foods cooked in a light manner supporting our weight loss objectives - all in all a great experience

Superb location, we had an amazing villa overlooking the backwaters, enormous, with everything you could want. Lovely grounds, great staff, who couldn’t be more helpful. I’d have liked to stay longer. Hopefully next time

Had a good stay in Quilon last week at Fragrant Nature. It's truly a wonderland for a nature lover. Enjoyed every bit of oUr stay. Had a fantastic boat Ride. The food they served was fresh and delicious. And the spa we had done at ayurvedic massage center was really wonderful. My sincere Thanks to Dr Amrutha and the staff Sivapriya who attended me at the spa. I'm sure you won't regret a stay at the this lovely hotel.

We stayed at Fragrant Nature during a weekend in late summer. It's a small and quiet resort by the lake, ideal place to unwind for a few days. Though it was peak of summer, it didn’t feel like it in the resort with all the trees, canopy and greenery all around; and with the breeze from the lake. The place has a basic kid’s play area, an indoor recreations room and an outdoor swimming pool. There are additional services like spa, boating etc., which we didn’t try. The resort restaurant has a nice view and tasty food for a good dining experience; additionally there is a dining area by the lake which opens only in the evening - worth checking out for its view, especially the sunset view and its quietness.

Spent three nights at this place. Beautiful location, excellent and very well maintained property, unmatchable service standards. We were a group of 15 and occupied double rooms, some of them with extra beds. Large and brightly lit rooms, comfortable beds, clean sheets, wash rooms. Hot and cold water facility with good water pressure. We occupied lake view rooms and our evening snacks and dinner were arranged at the boat jetty. Rooms service, food quality is excellent. This resort is situated in 6 acres and there are lush green walk ways with different types of trees all over the property. Swimming pool is maintained very well. Staff response and behaviour is one of the best thing I observed during our stay at this place. This property is located 30 minutes away from Varkala beach and 45 minutes away from Kollam town. Nearest airport is Trivandrum and there are lots of site seeing options are available nearby. Do not get disappointed by the approach roads. You will love the location once you reach the property. My special thanks to Vaishak and his team who took care of us so well.

I spent only one night there, but everything was perfect, I loved the area, 6acres beautiful plantation, my villa was perfect for a relaxing stay, the food is good, the staff is excellent, highly recommend to take a short cruise and after a relaxing massage! What else you need in Kerala and the value for money is perfect! Highly recommend the place

We took a short break from our busy life to just relax and enjoy. The resort is right beside a beautiful lake, srounded by beautiful garden. The calm lake and garden just make you to put the phone down and enjoy the nature. Don't forget to take the boat trip to enjoy the lake and a trip through the mangrove trees.

The best I've been to till date.The staff are really friendly and helpful.Reshmi attended me at the spa and she was too good.The resort is full of colorful butterflies and flowers.Fishing is must try.

Serenity of the beautiful Paravur Lake engulfs us, location of the resort resonates with nature at its best, excellence in hospitality by wonderful staff (Rahul, Prince, Sarvesh to name a few), sumptuous food - buffet or alacarte, prompt room service, cleanly maintained rooms and restaurant, meticulous work by house keeping made this stay very special and rejuvenating indeed...their ayurvedic massage service was also wonderful...dont miss their speedboat trip to mangrove forest

We recently stayed at fragrant nature as part of weekend plan.It was a lovely experience staying here.Everything about this place was perfect.Awesome location.Loved the scenic beauty. I will always cherish the time we spent there, not only for the beauty of the place but for loveliness of the people and warmth they brought to us. A must visit place to spend time with your loved ones. Go ! Enjoy ! Relax!!

It is a beautifully located resort on Paravur lake. The boat ride in the speed boat to the mangrove forests is really nice. The rooms are large, with a sitting area, a bedroom and a beautiful veranda. The bathrooms are also very nice. Service is exceptional at every location.... the spa being the best! The only reason I give it a 4 star and not the full five is the food.....it is very basic! It actually deserves a 4.5. But, all in all....absolutely worth it!

Ultimate place for honeymoon couple, in fact it is the second visit for us... when we entered to the Resort they give a traditional welcoming and speedily done the procedures and the smart front office lady directed to the room. We booked a normal room but they give one cottage for us its very close to the swimming pool, cottage offering a lake view. Lot of activity's are there but we spend most of the time in the lake side, boating and fishing. The sea food restaurant ambiance is a cool one offering a candle light dinner feel. All the staffs are very helpful and ready to serve....we will come back ....

It is resort wich belongs to exelent branch of hottels in kochi and munar. The good sides: Beutifull location The staff are very kind We were upgrated our room with no extra cost Location is beutiful. Things the resort should impruve: Food- this is the main point- it is most of the time on averege level not more. Sometime good. But noy satisfied. All in all the place is clean and looks nice but there is a feeling of something in the middle not too good not too bad. In the room facilitys in the profeesionalisim of the staff in the pull in the decor. Somethis feels only ok. For the amount of money it should be superb. The place does not match western standarts for a resort but to a local averege level. But i thank again for the lindess of the staff and i say all that so the place can improve.

We spent a memorable weekend at this property.The resort is located about half an hour away from the train station and cabs are easy to find (pay about 800 rs). We stayed in a pool villa suite and it had a nice view of the backwaters. Ask for the rooms near the waterfront. They are a bit of a walk from the main building, but worth it. Rooms are clean and the resort is maintained well. They have a great pool. The only flaw I can find ,albeit a significant one was that the food could have been better. One would expect more sea food given the location. The buffet was rather limited and quality was average at best.

The day out Fragrant Nature Backwater Resort & Ayurveda Spa on 05th Aug was really fabulous and its going to be one of my memorable ones.I liked the ambiance, especially, which is quite appealing and very less noisy compared to city hotels, also the premise was neat and tidy. The staffs at all respective departments were very cordial and helpful. Among them the manager whom we met at the front office, Mr Prince, if I remember him correctly, was very up to the mark in his approach, which made us feel at home ! The food served was also good and the short trip in the house boat in the clean water was a different experience. The only negative feel still in me is the narrow road which connects the resort from the main road. On the whole, its was a great experience for us in your place, and I would recommend my friends and relatives to come up there in future to get a feel with difference
