The resort location is very fabulous & staff was also very good. The property needs lots of maintenance & tuning required. Service has the scope of improvement. Food is average & through out kodai food is not worth for what you pay. There is lots of plastic waste around the resort. Our stay was very nice & climate really enjoyed.Rooms... More

Kodai By The Lake is one of the best property owned by Sterling. I would Rank it as No. 2 property after Sterling Munnar. We visited during peak time i.e. December last week… People were too busy managing guest.. Check-in was delayed almost 3+ hours due to no vacancy. We were allotted rooms in scattered format but it was all... More

Rooms are being renovated, the reception has improved etc. Me and my wife and been there with our daughter for 3 days. Here is what we thought : Look and... More

They ensured that all the cottages were close by. The food was excellent and the amenities in the cottages were of very good quality too. The... More

- No hot water in the taps. It was provided in buckets when requested. - Even though extra bed rates were charged, putting 2 cushions on the floor and a bed sheet on top of it was the so called "EXTRA BED" which was ridiculous and so uncomfortable. - Taps in the toilet were broken and when asked to fix,...
