Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with basic facilities, though privacy may be lacking due to narrow walkways and some rooms overlooking the parking area. The service is very cordial and accommodating, with the staff managing requests efficiently. The location is great for sightseeing and taking post-dinner walks, but may experience traffic congestion. The dining options range from hopeless to sumptuous, featuring various local and international dishes. Overall, the facilities provided are satisfactory.
I stayed in a deluxe room which was very spacious and clean. While my room was fine, I noticed that the rooms near the pool were larger but had a persistent moisture smell. The service was extremely courteous, and the staff always had a smile on their faces, which was nice to see. The location of the hotel is amidst greenery and in a quiet place, perfect for outdoor activities like trekking and rafting. The dining experience was excellent, and I appreciated the complimentary transport to nearby spots. The facilities were great overall.
The hotel is conveniently located in the town of Kalpeta in the Wayanad district of Kerala, just 50 meters away from the main road. The rooms, although clean and beautifully designed, could benefit from a little maintenance to better justify the price. The service provided by the staff, from the security guard to the front office, was genuinely friendly and efficient. The dining experience was a mix of positive and negative aspects, with good meals included in the package but some disappointing options at times.
The hotel embraces the wilderness of Wayanad with its rustic rooms, albeit lacking privacy due to narrow walkways. On the plus side, all the amenities are conveniently available. The service, highlighted by the always-smiling Spa personnel and the helpful staff fluent in English and Hindi, adds a warm touch to the stay. The location is impressive, adjacent to Kalpetta town attractions, making it easy to explore various points of interest. Dining options offer a fulfilling experience, and the facilities overall are satisfactory.
I stayed in a spacious cottage room at the hotel, which was clean and had all the required amenities. However, the standard rooms had a moisture smell all the time, dirty bed sheets, and a muddy, smelly atmosphere, a huge disappointment for a 3-star category. The service was courteous but not very prompt, and the staff seemed unsure of directions to the hotel. The location was convenient, near attractive parks and attractions for kids, but subject to traffic noise. The dining options were elaborate, catering to all palates, with efficient room service. Overall, the hotel offers value for money despite some drawbacks.
