My experience at this resort was frustrating and disappointing overall. While the location offered a beautiful view of the backwaters, the service was severely lacking and the rooms did not meet expectations for the price. There were also significant issues with maintenance and amenities that detracted from my stay. I would hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

My experience at Bolgatty Palace was a mixed bag. The location on Bolgatty Island is beautiful and offers stunning views, but the rooms left much to be desired in terms of upkeep. Service was well-intentioned but struggled under pressure, and while the dining options were decent, availability was a letdown. Overall, I found it to be a good stay but not worth the luxury rates charged.
