10/10 Exceptional
7 August 2022
One of my friends who had been to Kerala years back and actually had stayed at the Taj recommended that I check Coconut Lagoon out cause she remembered the place leaving quite an impression on her back then.
There are some places that have the potential to remain etched in your memory and this experience that I got to share with my mom is one of those! We went for a week in August. Coconut Lagoon is one place to gather some exquisite local experience along with luxurious comfort that CGH Earth promises and did indeed deliver.
It was a last-minute trip so I wanted to pick a place where we could have a good time and the folks at Coconut Lagoon really went an extra mile! It felt like they always had our backs while we were there (and despite the crazy rainy weather). It is described as a ‘treasure in the backwaters of Kerala’ and honestly that did not feel exaggerated from our experience. We had booked the Heritage Bungalow and got an amazing view of the backwaters where in the evenings, we could sit and enjoy a tea ritual, soaking in the serene nature all around us. You get to see eagles (& all their antics!), kingfisher, and all these other birds without even going anywhere! The entire property is very carefully designed to preserve elements of the local environment rather than making it stand out like a sore thumb like how some luxury resorts do. Other resorts could learn a thing or two from their sustainable tourism efforts. Loved it!
