Sterling Houseboats Lake Palace, Alleppey

Все было шикарно. Каюта уютная с большим окном, повар отличный, персонал замечательный. Получили огромное удовольствие от незабываемого путешествия.

The boat is lovely and rooms on board are comfortable and have air con. The opportunity to see life in the backwaters was fantastic and the crew prepared a good lunch for us.

The boat is part of a resort and so once we came back from the cruise at 6pm it stayed mored at the resort the rest of the time and we were told to eat dinner and breakfast at the resort which was not what we were expecting , to not be a bit more in nature and no morning cruise back. We could have just paid for a 5hour trip.

Beautiful location, a lovely welcome to the hotel, incredible food, a stunning river tour and beautiful boat with extremely comfortable and clean rooms. One of the highlights of our trip

This house boat stay and hotel was very close to being perfect if it wasn't for a couple of disappointing things. Despite a warm welcome when we arrived, on departure it felt like we were just thrown out, no goodbye or thanks for staying from staff, no help with our bags, breakfast wasn't ready when they said it would be so we missed it out on that too. Communication before the trip and during the was terrible failing to answer our questions. The fridge was broken or missing on the boat so we had no way to keep our drinks cold although upon request the hotel did eventually supply a cooler box with ice. When we actually got on the boat there it wasn't really explained to us if we had food and drink and how it would work which caused some confusion including us ordering prawns from a local market we definitely didn't need as there was plenty of food already. The crew were really nice on the boat but we felt the guide giving us information on the boat wasn't necessary and spoilt the tranquility of the moment a bit.

Lovely boat

It was moored up more than exploring the backwaters. You do not start off till1pm, finish at 6. Food was eaten in the hotel, full board!!! Not cooked on board. You were moored right in front of the hotel!! There were no drink facilities on board. We had to ask for drinks for over night, water, tea, coffee. I would recommend only doing one night .
