Sterling Lake Palace Alleppey

Not a good experience. This is definitely not a 5 star hotel, this is a 3-star hotel. The only positive was that the room has a nice view. However, even getting to this location was tough, the road to this resort was not maintained and very bumpy and is in such a remote location, cannot get a auto or taxi to go out an explore. I do not recommend this hotel to foreigners.

Great place. Had a goo psrty for New Year.. Aymaan and staff was really helpful and considerate.

Enjoyed the stay

We stayed at Sterling Lake Palace Alleppey for a 3-day family trip, and the experience fell short of expectations. The private road leading to the property was in very poor condition. It was broken and full of potholes, which created a weak first impression. After checking in, the room we received did not match the images or features shown on the hotel page. There was no bathtub or double vanity. The room felt rundown, damp, had seepage on the walls, old furniture and the overall cleanliness was poor. We had messaged the hotel through Hotels.com to inform them that we would be arriving a few hours late and to keep a good room ready for us, but we did not receive any response. It felt like the lack of communication contributed to us being given a room that was not prepared or maintained properly. We were upgraded to a better room on the second day, which we appreciated, but the bad first impression had already affected our stay and we decided to check out a day early. The positive part of our stay was the staff. They were helpful, polite and very service oriented. They made an effort to improve our experience after the issues we faced on the first day. They also helped us find a medicine box we had forgotten in the initial room. Our main concern is with the condition of the property. The staff is excellent, but the infrastructure and maintenance need significant improvement to match the expectations set online.

The cleanliness can be improved. There were so many plastic bottles near the area where the boat house is parked. Within the property there are few man made ponds, they’re not cleaned either. The taste of the food in the restaurant can be improved a lot. Lots of options but nothing tastes good. There could be a small net put in the balcony of the cottage as we cannot enjoy it due to mosquitoes. The only thing i liked there was the spa. I do highly recommend taking the treatment there.
