Anantya by the Lake

I stayed in Anantya in 2013 when the property was still under construction & not many heard about it. My second stay there was after 11 years in June 2024 when it is a much talk about place. Anantya is a typical example for how greediness can kill hospitality. After charging 14K for room alone for a one night stay, you be ready to see the worst facilities. Restaurant & pool are heavily crowded during operating hours. The room service is nil. They kept one packet of tea bag in Sidhi Villa with one coffee packet. It is not that we are gonna use some 10 packets, but mind you are running a luxury resort. Even medium hotels who charges, 3000 per night will give you at least 2 tea bags. No moisturiser, conditioner, shampoo. One soap bar which you will be afraid to touch is all they keep. Closets are stained & stinky. Outside Bathroom is not clean, the staffs doesn’t know how to smile (not blaming them, I can imagine how they must be treated when guests are treated in this way). The reception area will have 1 staff mostly. He will be damn occupied in one or other. Nobody will greet or smile or ask why the hell you are there! The broken glasses near the restaurant area will remain as such even after a night. Their own property visit is chargeable! Even if you go in your own vehicle to their Vaikundam plantation, you need to pay 400 or 500 per head! As if you are going to harvest gold from there! Way too much. 14K you are taking for 2 people for a night, wouldn’t suffice to step in to your rubber plantation? How rude this is! Exactly at 12 noon, people will come & knock your door asking when you will check out! I have never faced this anywhere. Stay out of the property is the best advice I have. It is not even worthy of 5K. The natural beauty of the place where your resort located is the only plus you have & that’s why it is still attracting people. But sheer lack of hospitality will not help you to run with a luxury logo for more time! How I wish I could enjoy that natural beauty with people who feel good to have us there!!!

One of the best lakeside resorts with excellent rooms offering stunning lake views is Anantya. We stayed in the Chakra cottage, and the rooms were super clean and spacious. The services provided by the housekeeping, receptionist, and food and beverage teams were excellent. Although the food was a bit expensive, the taste was extremely good. The candlelight dinner arranged by the poolside with a lake view was exceptional. Thank you, Anantya, and the team for your outstanding service.

We were charged 12,000/ night. Resort is not maintained well, room was average with seepage on walls, spring mattress was so uncomfortable, broken pillows, floor of the room was untidy, we were so tired, requested to serve high tea in the room, which was included in the package, tea came with 2 pieces of small cookies and cold sweet banana fritters, asked to bring some salted item as we don’t eat sweet, no one returned, dinner was very average, curd served was so sour that bubbles were coming up, water served in rooms was RO, no mineral water, sent our driver to buy from the market. Moreover location is 60km far from Kanyakumari. Overall very bad experience, paid so high for such poor services, book at your own risk.

I had organised a company offsite at Anantya by the Lake and everything was flawless. Thanks to the entire team of Anantya for managing and executing our offsite as per the agenda suggested. Food, location...everything was very good and enjoyed by all. A million thanks to Alpha and female staff who helped us early morning. Also a special thanks to everyone who coordinated with me during the offsite (Shiva, Pramod, Roy, Alpha and few names I don't know) and the backend team. Very well managed and great team work. I would surely recommend this property to all for its beautiful scenic rooms. Completely worth each penny! Thank you once again 😇🙏🏼

There best place to stay for friends and family. The money spent is worth the experience. Feels close to nature with luxury! Food is the best , never had such tasty Kerala cuisine. The view is magnificent. The service was top notch. There would be no signal coverage except for Jio and bsnl.

The food was excellent, the chef ensured that our pallet needs were met. Service provided by Mr. Raghul is excellent. Front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Property is clean and has a fantastic old time vibes. Looking forward the next stay.

The resort was lovely in its presentation, on arrival through manicured borders and orange earth compacted paths. The Veda 4 accommodation was spacious with a glorious view, the outside had a cool blue tiled pool and calming pond with water lillies. The view over the lake with soaring eagles and languid egrets was peaceful and a real treat. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, especially the restaurant staff. Suresh who led the evening team was such a joy, he offered suggestions and we enjoyed delicious food (plus some nice g&t’s)! Breakfast was also a wonderful experience, especially for European’s. We loved trying the different chutneys, vada. Idli and curry’s, not to mention the freshly made wafer thin dosa’s. Thank you to Vinod and his colleagues for their assistance. We went on the plantation tour with Anil Kumar the plantation manager and it was really inspiring and interesting, well worth a trip… and who knew rubber tree honey was a thing! Delicious!!!! The main pool by the restaurant was large enough for a nice morning swim and lovely Charles kept it leaf free. The grounds staff kept the resort lush and tidy and everyone was cheerful and friendly. All in all we had a relaxing stay.thank you!

Had an amazing experience at Anantya By The Lake. Spent 3 nights & 4 days there, and got to experience good food, great service and a memorable overall experience 😃 The beauty of the place of course is showcased well I'm the photos in the website.. The room was quite thoughtful in design (2 ACs + 1 fan to cover the entire room, an additional pedestal fan in case of a backup necessity, good supply of toiletries, well-designed jacuzzi and so on ..) Very courteous and attentive staff - Rahul, Suresh Kumar & team at the restaurant, Roy, Ashkar & others at the front office, friendly and attentive housekeeping staff, and so on) The weak WiFi was compensated by the front office staff offering us the backup Jio Hub that they had, when we explained the urgency of attending to office work amidst the holiday... The restaurant menu had a fairly limited listing, but happy to see that they could provide for many more items than just what was listed. Good quality too!! And they were able to accommodate our request for an early breakfast before checkout, and surprised us with the elaborate spread even at that time. Overall, a must-visit place! Thanks guys
