Backwater Ripples Kumarakom

Backwater Ripples Kumarakom

10/10 Excellent
"I had a wonderful stay at Bluewater Ripples and would happily recommend it. The room was huge and well maintained. The food was excellent, the views and extra programs were fun. We did a boat cruise and a canal cruise and really enjoyed both. Sindhu was a great help for everything."
