Abad Whispering palm was a reasonably priced resort at a quite location facing the Vembanad lake. It was the best decision to book the lake faing room which is conveniently location next to the pool and dinning area with a cosy blacony where one could chill. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable and wifi was strong. The most wonderful thing about the resort was that one can see the sun setting over the lake from the pool area itself. The afternoon tea and snack from the tea cart next to the pool was wonderful and cheap at only 30 INR. Even though the tea cart staff were very busy but they served with a smile. I skipped the less interesting buffet dinner and ordered crab roast from the ala carte menu instead. It did not disappoint. The crab was sweet even with the heavy and spicy sauce. The drink menu was a bit limited. There was a variety of actitives available but do book in advance especially motorboat or shikara ride as the resort has limited slot. The resort location is about 15 mins tuk tuk ride from Cheepunkal if you wish to rent your own shikara. The manager saw me and was friendly to make conversation, making recommendations about activities to do.
