Vythiri Resort

What an experience. Absolutely surreal and totally worth it. From the staff to the stay to the resort in itself is an experience everyone should have in wayanad. Felt at home and more!

The people are adamant and not allow me to cancel the the trip due to the recent landslide incident happened near to the property.

It was amazing stay. We are actually very enjoyed. The resort was very nice and food was very very tasty

Location was surrounded by greenery with a babbling stream running through it so there would be continuous ambient sounds of a waterfall. Food was top notch with variety, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, regional culinary delights as well as continental favourites were included for four meals a day. Amenities were excellent. Our room had a jacuzzi with hot water round the clock. Comfortable rooms with the option to block out light in case one wanted to rest. A well ventilated and spacious bathroom and adequate storage space was available. Wifi was provided on the spot. All the members of staff were polite and friendly. They were helpful with room service as well as food suggestions at the restaurant, even going so far as explaining certain recipes when enquired. There are various picturesque and photo friendly spots to capture memorable photographs of the locality. Swimming pool is also available and open for use. All in all, excellent place and a wonderful relaxing stay.

To start with booking, it was a seamless process, we paid in advance and after the initial confirmation, there were no unnecessary messages or calls for anything from the property which i appreciate. Next, reaching the location, the property is right in the middle of the rain forest and the last 4 km stretch is a bit tricky as the road is curvy, with many potholes (due to frequent rains, it's no more than a trail for 4-wheelers) and you might feel you are in the wrong place. However, google maps are spot-on and once you reach the property, you will feel much better. I wouldn't recommend walking up (as i read in some previous reviews) to this place as you might encounter some unwanted wildlife and the trek is anyway treacherous. Smooth check-in process and the manager will share all relevant information regarding the property, and your well-being at the property, including meal times, emergency procedures and whatnot. They will provide you with a large umbrella per room, and an extra umbrella is provided based on availability, so carry one for yourself if you have kids. The only sounds around are that of a gushing stream and the occasional cicadas. It's tranquil, and you are left at peace from the moment you step foot on the property, just grab one of the large umbrellas provided by them and walk around absolutely carefree. Nature walks and outdoor activities are available depending on the weather. One could go on and on about the serenity and peace at this property and still, it would not be enough. The rooms are huge and have a slightly moist smell to it. Nooks and corners have signs of aging but nothing that dampens your mood if you remember the place is under constant rain for 8-10 months a year. There's no room service in this property and they mention it at welcome; reason: monkeys. There are baby monkeys around the property, and you are well advised to not keep food or loose packets in your hands. You don't bother them, they don't bother you. You cross the rapid streams en route to the restaurant and the reception from your room. These bridges, ramps and stairs could get slippery during the rain, so be careful and take your time. In addition, as the property is bang in the middle of a dense rainforest, you do have visits from uninvited leeches (the actual kind. The rooms are dimly lit. Parts of the way from the room to the restaurant or the reception are also not properly lit. So, i'd advise you to keep a torch handy and wear gum boots if you can, especially for kids. Word of advice - every time you come from outside, check yourself for leeches and take necessary measures accordingly. Service-wise, the food is surprisingly good and served hot at all times. We had low expectations going in, considering the remote nature of the resort. However, every meal we had was pleasantly warm, fresh and tasty. The food served is more global with an indian twist. The local cuisine is less but is delicious. The staff is friendly, prompt and hard-working. In all, the vacation was well spent. Would love to visit again.

Never visit during the rainy season. It's in the rain forest, and the rain will be no stop there. Guests won't be able to enjoy the property and nature. They don't provide free room service. Every time we are asked to walk to the restaurant during the rain but an umbrella is provided. Food was not up to the mark. Noticed repeated menu. No tv in the room for entertainment. No parking shed. Vehicles were parked open in the rain. Staff were not cooperative enough and noticed ignorance from a few of them. Overall, 5 star hospitality was missing.

Had a pleasant stay in this resort, it's unforgettable stay in my life, i would like to visit again with my family

A big yes to this resort and its the best stay ever. We had stayed here in celestial villa for a night and honeymoon villa with private pool for a night. Both were really amazing. From the welcome gesture, booking ease, spa experience (complimentary for first visit), hospitality,hygiene everything was fantastic and no way you could imagine forest stay being so well maintained. I was scared about insects, lizards but they continously fumigate and kept it in pest control. A must say about the nature experience, you will really feel u are into entire different world here where nature gives u the best receipt of peacefulness. Food was great, no compromise anywhere. A trip is certified well when u have a heavy heart while leaving a place, i definitely had one when i felt and wanted to extend. Dont miss this fantabulous place..
