    My recent stay at Lakefront Beach Homes in Cherai, Kerala, was a truly magical experience, blending the best of a home stay and resort experience! From the moment I stepped foot onto the property, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the pristine backwaters. Lakefront Beach Homes offers the perfect balance between the cozy comfort of a home stay and the luxury amenities of a resort. The serene ambiance instantly made me feel like I had stepped into a peaceful oasis far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Resort staff's attentiveness and sincerity made me feel like a valued guest in their own home. The stay at Lakefront Beach Homes turned out to be a pleasant vacation and also a fruitful learning experience. I was amazed at the artistic transformation of the little space into a wonderland. It was impossible not to enjoy every second because to the exquisite decor and well-kept gardens, which caught my senses and boosted the atmosphere overall. The Lakefront Beach Homes proximity to the beach added an extra element of charm. Given the beautiful surroundings and proximity to water bodies, it's essential to be mindful of the natural elements. Cherai, being famous for mosquitos, it's advisable to wear long pants and take necessary precautions to fully relish your stay at this idyllic retreat. We booked this place to have a long-awaited get-together with my college mates, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The resort's serene setting provided the ideal backdrop for reconnecting with old friends and reminiscing about our college days. What sets Lakefront Beach Homes apart is that this delightful experience is surprisingly budget-friendly. Considering what we paid and the impeccable services and amenities we received, it's safe to say that this stay was worth every penny and more. Highly recommended for couples and families, Lakefront Beach Homes provides the ideal setting for a romantic getaway or a memorable family vacation. Whether you seek tranquility with your partner or fun-filled moments with your loved ones, this resort is the perfect destination. In summary, my stay at Lakefront Beach Homes was truly an unforgettable experience, seamlessly blending the comforts of a home stay with the luxury of a resort. The Lakefront's tranquil surroundings, friendly personnel, cozy lodgings created a perfect retreat in the lap of nature. If you're looking for a serene place to relax and reconnect with nature, I heartily recommend Lakefront Beach Homes in Cherai, Kerala. It's a unique blend of a home stay and resort experience that will leave you with cherished memories to treasure.

    Lake Front is a little oasis set back from the main beach front of Cherai. The rooms are cool and clean, and the family who run it are incredibly welcoming and helpful. They even organised an excellent yoga teacher to give us a class, and cooked delicious food.

    Stayed here recently. We booked 2 rooms - one big suite and one cottage. First impressions: LOCATION: We were appalled by the location of the homestay. It is not situated on the main beach facing road and we have to go in some cut roads to reach. Those traveling by car, better avoid this place as the approach is very narrow and has dodgy roads. The parking is very small and there will be quite a few instances where someone blocks movement. ROOMS: The suite room was big and comfortable. They used all the space for the bedroom and left the bathroom tiny. There was no geyser available. They said they had a solar heater, but, we got no hot water. The cottage room was tiny and only recommended for 2 people. Same bathroom problem. FOOD & SERVICE: We had a complimentary breakfast here, VERY basic food - idly, sambhar, chutney, banana and tea. They don't have the manpower to cook more than that. If you can book without breakfast, go for it as there are plenty restaurants nearby. POOL: It was more of a large 'tub', rather than a pool. I figure about 13 * 7 ft and 5 ft deep. The water was heavily chlorinated and those with sensitive skin, beware. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: I would say average. Saw many positive reviews, so I booked. It was not a pleasant experience. The price is not exactly cheap and there are lot's of better options a bit further. Book beach facing resorts or homestays if you can.

    We had a pleasant stay in this beautiful property. Shari and Sarath are excellent hosts and took care of our ever needs. It is a lake side property and beach is at a 100 meters walkable distance.

  • 4/5 biju r. 8 months ago on Google
    Cozy little place to spend a quiet weekend. Nice rooms and ambiance. Very close to the lake and walkable distance to the beach. The breakfast provided was homely and tasty. Parking can be an issue as the approach road is narrow and they don't have a dedicated parking space. The pool is a makeshift one and very small and more suited for kids.

  • 5/5 CK M. 5 months ago on Google
    Very comfortable and homely. The owner Shari and her husband Sharath went out of their way to make us happy and contented. The bathrooms were clean, the AC worked well and the linen was spotless. The ambience in the banks of the backwaters and so close to the Arabian Sea, was truly fantastic. The staff were cordial and affectionate. We will recommend this place to all tourists who visit Cherai

    Amazing beach front home at Cherai and amazing hosts. What a majestic view of the backwaters along with a tree house, swings and swimming pool.

  • 5/5 yashin p. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and behaviour by the host. Very friendly. Totally 8 rooms. If u take the entire property, it's the best. Best for a huge group.

  • 5/5 Vishnu D. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Lisha B. 1 year ago on Google
    Initially we were unsure about how the homestay would be like, reviews aside. But the moment we reached there, the place kind of absorbed us in. Clean rooms and surroundings. The view of the river from the homestay is just awesome. Yes there are mosquitoes and carrying repellent is advised. Beach is at a walking distance. Breakfast is inclusive which is served hot and tastes superb. Tea and coffee is served as per request. Pool is well maintained. Arrangements for lunch/dinner have to be made on own but, the hostess, Shari is more than happy to help in suggesting good options. Boating available which is not included in the package. Staff is very polite and helpful. Shari and Sharath both are very good hosts. Hope that in future lunch/dinner will be available there! All the best!

    I stayed nearly two weeks in this magical peaceful place surrounded by a beautiful garden and back water. Shari, the best host I have ever met, is very welcoming, helpful making sure you have everything you need. Her family and the people who work there are adorable. The food is delicious. The rooms are clean and confortable. Thank you so much Shari for making my stay just perfect. Love from France

  • 5/5 Tapas D. 1 year ago on Google
    Shari is extremely nice and always takes care of any requests with a big smile. My staying at the cottage will be a memorable one. I really enjoyed the backyard and the pool. Literally two minutes of walk to the Beach and the restaurants.

  • 5/5 nehemiah p. 1 year ago on Google
    Best property facing the back waters at cherai. Thanks to the people there who treated us like their own family. The property is at 100 meters walk from the beach . Peaceful and serene location. They served us tasty food. We were overwhelmingly joyful till the tart minute we stayed there. The rooms are clean. We used the swimming pool too. Our cars were parked safely. Thank you once again.

  • 5/5 SHEEBA S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best stay we had. Nice property. The swimming pool is Awesome. Rooms are nice, the backwater view is amazing. Loved the tree house. Strongly recommending Lake Front Resort to someone, who is looking for a great day to spent with family, friends.

  • 5/5 Lishoy M. 1 year ago on Google
    We have stayed at Lakefront beach homes not once but twice and both times we had an amazing stay there. The host Shari and her husband are very sweet and helpful. They make sure you feel comfortable and do not hesitate to help even for the smallest things. The rooms were very simple clean and neat. Even if you face any issues during your stay they will sort it out immediately. The pool is very clean and the best part of the resort. They have a parking spot in front of the house that can accommodate around 3-4 cars. The way to the house is a bit narrow but shouldn't be a problem for hatchbacks and sedans. They have ample open space including a small house tree facing the lake. Breakfast was simple and yummy. Beach is just 2 minutes walk (not the main cherai beach). Overall this is a wonderful place to get away for solo travelers or family. 10/10.

    Has a good place in the property facing lake. Quite nice for the price offered. Beach access is 1-2 mins walk from the property.

  • 5/5 Neeraj K. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a beautiful place. Just an hour from our place and that’s going to be additional reason to stay there again. Exactly our kind of place. EDIT: 2nd visit done. This time with full family. Review remains the same. Love :) Wish the DTPC took some iniatives and develop the Munambam-Cherai stretch :(

  • 5/5 Evita A. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed here for a weekend and it was such a nice experience! The hosts made us feel so welcome throughout the day and helped us plan activities like boating and suggested good restaurants around the place, their daughter, Minnu even taught us how to fish with a fishing rod which was so much fun! We weren't as good as her but we really enjoyed it. The place is waterfront and has a cute garden area as well. Over-all, we had a very good time with them and would definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 Jerrin J. 2 years ago on Google

It's a great getaway destination. The hosts are so nice and sweet and they can help you in every way they can .

  • 5/5 Nidhi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Thank you Shari and Sharath for a wonderful stay. I highly recommend it to families looking for a home away from home. Beach is just 2 mins walk away from the homestay. The owners always greet with a smile, eager to help and ensure you feel comfortable at all times. They arrange food as per your preference. We had the opportunity to taste some authentic Kerela style vegetarian dishes. Overall a highly peaceful place where you feel close to nature.

  • 5/5 Jibin T. 2 years ago on Google
    My family and I stayed here and had an excellent time. When it comes to hosting, the host goes above and above. You can walk to the beach in about 5 minutes from this location, so you'll get the best of both worlds if you choose this place. The rooms were spotless, and the breakfast was top-notch. With the lake view comes the tree house, lovely garden, and boat deck where you may relax in peace. I'd highly recommend it to everyone.

  • 5/5 rahul v. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent hosts and location. Had a wonderful experience at the property, which was also quite close to Cherai beach. The breakfast in the morning was very tasty, local food and made with the guests in mind, mild and perfect. Will come here again.

  • 5/5 Andy T. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful rooms in beautiful setting. Garden overlooks the lake with an amazing view of the sunrise. Rooms are very clean, have hot water and AC. Breakfast was different every day but always tasty and plentiful. Shari was an amazing host and Sindhu is a fantastic cook. It's very quiet and peaceful here and close to the beach too.
