My stay at The World Backwaters was quite an experience! The serene setting provided a lovely escape from daily life, and the staff made me feel exceptionally welcome. The amenities were mostly nice, but there were a few maintenance issues that stood out. The dining was overall good, yet not every meal hit the mark. It's a great choice for those looking for a peaceful getaway, but I wouldn't recommend it for long stays due to the remote location.
