Goldfieldd Lake Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Goldfieldd Lake Resort is an independent timeshare property in Kottayam, Kerala, affiliated with RCI's exchange network. Kottayam itself is one of Kerala's oldest towns, long known as a centre for trade, education and the state's publishing industry, and it sits right at the edge of the backwater belt that stretches toward Alappuzha and Kumarakom. Staying here means being close to lagoons, canals and the slow traffic of houseboats rather than a conventional beachfront strip — a different pace of holiday, built around water, greenery and village life.

The Area and Things to Do

Kottayam's main draw is the backwaters themselves: short canal trips or full-day cruises on a traditional houseboat are the classic way to see the region, and the Kottayam Backwaters are close enough for an easy half-day out. A little further afield, Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary draws birdwatchers to its wetlands, especially outside the monsoon months, while spice plantations around the district offer guided walks through pepper and cardamom groves, along with insight into how Kerala's spice trade works. History and temple architecture enthusiasts can head to Thiruvalla, home to a historic temple that remains in active use. None of this is resort-built entertainment — it's the real Kerala countryside, which suits owners who exchange in for the region itself rather than for a pool and buffet.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Goldfieldd Lake Resort is an independent property, so any resale or rental of a week here is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a single branded head office. If you're thinking of selling, list your week on BidMyTimeshare.com as a private owner-to-owner sale: you set your own asking price, pay one small one-time listing fee, and we take 0% commission on the sale — interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. Before agreeing a price with any buyer, ask the resort's management for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these vary by resort and aren't set by us. Also check what the resale buyer will and won't inherit — in particular, whether RCI exchange registration carries over automatically or needs to be set up afresh by the new owner, as this affects how quickly they can start exchanging. Renting out a week works the same way: advertise the dates, set your own rental price, and deal directly with the renter, with no commission taken from either side.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Kerala has a tropical climate with a clear monsoon season from June to September, so most exchange activity and rental interest falls within the October-to-May window, when backwater cruises and outdoor plantation visits are far more comfortable. Kottayam is reachable from Cochin International Airport, with Kottayam Railway Station handling the final leg; once there, auto-rickshaws, local buses and hired drivers cover day trips to the surrounding attractions. Anyone renting or exchanging in should allow a little extra time for monsoon-season delays if travelling between June and September, and should confirm directly with the resort what's included in the accommodation, since independent properties vary in what's offered beyond the room itself.
