I had an enjoyable stay at Royal Riviera in Kumarakom. The location by the backwaters is beautiful, allowing for some wonderful views, but there are definitely areas that need improvement, especially regarding the facilities and dining options. Overall, it was a good experience, although some aspects could enhance the stay further.
