    Good afternoon forum, I am Riya from Mumbai, and I have joined to find out about The Zuri Kumarakom Kerala Resort & Spa.

    I would like to know what kind of rooms they have available and what services and facilities are included in the different rooms.

    I think some rooms have a plunge pool as seen in the pictures of the hotel. Please state which rooms these are.

You can choose from either a king-sized bed or two twin-sized beds. The Zuri Deluxe Room has just the same features, but instead of a verandah, it has a balcony with a lagoon view. The interiors are basically the same and even the space is just the same. Both room types have glass-panelled bathrooms visible from the bedside. There's a separate shower and bathtub area as well.

This balcony has a sitting area and a wooden patio where you can relax while sipping your cup of tea. This cottage is more spacious and has an open shower area in the garden.

    What are the Dining Options in the Zuri Kumarakom Kerala Resort & Spa?

    You have a variety of options for dining in the property. This is ideal because once you are in the property, it seems a bit isolated and far off that venturing out for meals can be a hassle. There are some properties outside the hotel with their own restaurants where you can also opt to dine if ever you want more options. But generally, being a five-star property, the meals offered in the resort are top notch and well made. The rates might be on the higher side so that's one downside.
