La Cascade Resort is a mid-range property located very close to the famed Athirappilly Waterfalls. It markets itself as an accessible option, alternative to ultra-luxury resorts such as Rainforest or Niraamaya-without-premium-price-tag-prime-views-and-location. The rocky landscape and flowing Chalakudy river towards the falls maximize its proximity to nature. The resort mostly attracts families and groups of friends driving down from Kochi or Bangalore who require a functional, clean base camp with scenic beauty to explore the ‘Niagara of India’. White glove service? Not really. Here it is more about balcony time soaking up sounds of rushing water and misty jungle atmosphere.

Quick Summary - La Cascade Resort


  • The location is its biggest asset; just a few hundred meters from the entrance gate of Athirappilly Waterfalls, walking distance.
  • Balcony River Facing Most rooms have balconies facing the river. Cool and soothing background noise of water flowing plus a great view of green add-ons.
  • There is a small and clean swimming pool. Big deal because most of the time, actual swimming in the river near the falls is prohibited- dangerous.
  • Priced somewhere between comfort and cost, better than the high-end neighbors, still quite competitive for this area.
  • × Rooms sometimes feel damp or slightly musty. This is because of the high humidity of the rainforest environment. Common in this region.
  • × Its location is right on the road, so while its back faces the river, its front faces the main road. Traffic noise can be heard in the lobby or front areas.
  • × Wi-Fi connectivity works best only in the reception area means spotty and weak connection in the rooms.

Comprehensive Guide - La Cascade Resort


  • Price vs Quality Big value. You are basically paying for the location and view of the river without any luxury markup.
  • Service Experience Very helpful in arranging and dealing with local logistics, though not exactly five-star formal service.
  • Location Quality 5/5 on sightseeing, being able to walk to the ticket counter is a massive plus advantage.
  • Area Lush, tropical green with direct river views from within the property.
  • Overall Cleanliness They change the linen and sweep the floors. Anyway, deep cleaning is somehow difficult due to the dampness in the building.
  • Breakfast Quality Decent Kerala home‐style food (curries, parottas). Limited menu variety.
