Purity at Lake Vembanad

Purity is in an exceptional location; it's a true paradise on the edge of Lake Vembanad. The building is full of understated charm with an understated and thoughtful design aesthetic that appeals to all the senses. The team work incredibly well together, were warm-hearted, nothing was too much trouble and worked very efficiently to organise everything that we asked for with great attention to detail. We felt genuinely cared about by all the staff including but not limited to Mary, Sarath, Arya, Ajikumur and Vishnu. Everyone took great pride in doing an excellent job with good humour to make their guests’ stay a memorable one. The food here is wholesome and delicious and the rooms immaculately maintained by excellent housekeeping staff. Each room has a unique character with spectacular views over the lake. If you have the chance to go, you should. A memorable and delightful stay.

Everything! The beautifully designed rooms, the location, the serene atmosphere. The staff were wonderful too, very accommodating and helpful. We were given packed breakfast because we left before breakfast opened on the day we checked out. Every consideration was shown to our parents who travelled with us, serving food in the room veranda because our mom could not walk with ease to arranging for massage in the room, to helping us fit in our activities within our limited time. We had a wonderful stay!

Enchanting location, very calm and peaceful with beautiful views of Vembanad lake. The hotel is a work of art - a church creatively renovated with stunning modern design contrasted by historical artefacts and paintings. The breakfast and dinner was great and the staff were incredibly helpful - waiting up until 1am for our late arrival and upgrading our room. The boat ride to the other side of the lake and the narrow backwaters was well worth the money - the driver founds us lots of bird and wiildlife to photograph (kingfishers, an otter etc).

Everything, amazingly beautiful property, fabulous interior design, wonderful service from the staff and great food. We also went to the beach at madurai one afternoon which was close by and a beach you don’t want to miss.

Massive rooms and bathroom. Architecture is very different from what I'm used to. felt very quaint yet luxurious. Probably the friendliest staff I've ever met. They made our stay truly memorable. Spa, canoe ride, yoga, food, they were all exceptional. Views are amazing.
