Sprawling property in the cradle of verdant nature. The infrastructure is well designed to accommodate large number of in house as well as walk in guests in the dining area without over crowding. Besides two swimming pools the property has something novel that is an artificial water fall which functions for an hour every day. In the buffet lunch and dinner the food was excellent and never too spicy in the vegetarian food I had. But on the second day of my stay I found that there was no buffet lunch and I had to demand and get an A la carte lunch at the buffet price. Though the resorts claims 5 Star rating no bar was functioning and the standard rooms donot have the basic facility of a mini bar for the guests to have access to cold water always. The staff in the dining area could be more attentive and mannerly, however the interaction of Mr. Sobi, the GM with the guests and personally with me was very heart warming and extremely hospitable. It was a pleasant and memorable two days stay for my wife and I in this resort.

One of the best properties in Wayanad, offers spacious rooms, courteous staff, restaurant and food varieties with local cuisine, and sightseeing. It was really hot during Apr this year, If the climate is an issue then you may want to look for some other options in the uphill. The food taste was just ok, they use tamarind and red chilli a lot , and even after I categorically told them not to use these ingredients , they continued to serve food prepared with red chilli. Overall I really liked the resort , one small request - I have see they have put two puppies in a cage - I have no idea why had to punish those puppies , I would request hotel authority to seriously to look into this/

I went with my family for summer holidays in June 2023. One of my friends recommended this resort to stay so we booked the same although it was on a higher pricing side.
First of all, I would like to start with positives of the property. The resort is located in the middle of Wayanad so going to other tourist spots is easy from here. The rooms are spacious with 2 swimming pools (one of them is almost an infinity pool), kids play area, badminton ground, archery ring, bicycles to roam around the property, nature walk etc. as the property is huge in area.
However, the management was very bad at the time of meal timings (breakfast and dinner). Since it was summer holiday, lot of people were staying there and the resort staff planned the breakfast for almost 200 people at one place where people were not getting the food on time, the wait time for all the food items is so long that we had to leave the breakfast in the middle. Same day, 3 buses full of tourists as one group came to their resort in the afternoon and the hotel management planned their dinner along with other people who are staying in their resort too. There was a chaos at the restaurant as people were not getting tables and waiting for almost 20-30 mins.
Overall, the experience was not so good considering the charges I paid versus the services I got. The property is great to stay but the resort management is not able to plan things efficiently.

As someone who loves to travel and explore new destinations, I had high hopes for my recent stay at Vythiri Village resort. However, I regret to say that my experience fell far short of expectations. From the moment I arrived until the time I departed, there were numerous issues that left me thoroughly disappointed.
First and foremost, the cleanliness of the resort was subpar. Lift was stinking so bad at Room 8320. It was evident that the housekeeping staff had not paid attention to detail, which made me question the overall hygiene standards of the resort. In Room Dining was a joke, the prices are so expensive. They don’t respond to the calls, it literally took me an hour to get connected to restaurant to make an order, when they know that footfall is going to increase on weekends, they should have sufficient staffing to handle and not give lame response that they are busy. What is the point of 5 Star if they cannot meet guests requirement. Furthermore, the amenities promised on the website were either outdated or non-functional. The pool near room 8320 was not functional. To add insult to injury, the food at the resort was mediocre at best. The buffet offerings were bland and uninspired, and the à la carte menu was overpriced for the quality of food served. It was clear that the resort was cutting corners to maximize profits, without regard for the satisfaction of its guests.

We had booked the Celebrity pool ville for our stay @Vythiri Village resort and were quite happy the way reception welcomed us. Things went south pretty fast after this. For this to be a 5 star property, the rooms are ancient and the pool happens to be in an enclosed space with cold water, seepage from the floor above ours. The bathrooms are small, claustrophobic and with poor fittings. The feather on the crown was their extremely poor food quality with stale oil but with exorbitant pricing.
For paying about 18000 per night for the room and with just breakfast, its frankly waste of money.

Wonderful experience and the rooms are very good. Rooms are equipped with modern switches 24/7 hot water supply. The best was the hot water shower as it was maintained at the right temperature. The room I stayed was facing the hanging bridge having a cool view in the morning and evening especially. There is also a artificial water falls which is timed from 5-6pm in the evening. The property has 2 swimming pools which was closed due to pandemic. Food was average for the price. Since I had stayed over a weekend there were lot of people and live counters too busy that it took more than 20 minutes to get a pasta. The number of food choices were also less and average in variety in the buffet. They have transport services to drop/pick up to the rooms all the time. Big parking space was available and the resort also arrange for cleaning the cars at a nominal price. Indoor games, cycling, archery, kids play area, zip line are available. Room services are very quick and the staffs are helpful and friendly. Abia from front desk was very helpful and suggested helpful tips for our sightseeing visits.

We were 9 friends and had booked 3 double suite rooms. The ambience was good and the the staff was cordial. But we had a bad experience as far as the service was concerned. It seems that the hotel management is so over confident that they don't feel its their duty to provide proper service. It took several hours and several reminders before we got some extra towels and hand towels which were not at all provided in the rooms. Later when we asked for glasses and 4 quarter plates again after an hour of frustration and phone calls were provided with a variety of assorted glasses and informed that they do not have glasses available. The height was we were informed that the quarter plates would be provided at a cost of rs. 150/-. Which we agreed to pay. Breakfast was big pain.. all guests are expected to go their their central hall which is good km from the stay. The hall is like a 100 meters long and as we got our seat at one end of the hall we had to walk to and fro with plates and glasses in our hands. By the time we manged to reach our table the food would be cold, not forgetting to mention that the quality left much to he desired. It felt like we have come for a free wedding bf rather than paying a substantial cost for the same. If you are looking for some premium service fpr the coat you pay then I recommend you avoid this place..

The standard rooms are terrible disappointment. They are located near the parking area as if it's driver's accomodation zone.. actually outside the property and reception...I was furious and dejected. For me, it dint even count as a part of the resort. The management was too adamant in not cooperating and giving us a room inside and around the actual resort which according to them counts as ' chargeable upgrade'. Killed my mood totally for the place. Food - breakfast was decent, dinner buffet was nothing special, service below par. Only if the management was better, the place has charm and is beautified.

Having heard a lot about the property and great reviews, we booked our 3 night stay at the Vythiri Village resort. While the property is said to be 5 star, I would put it at a bare 4 star (more likely a 3 star). Check-in was quick and we were taken up to our room 453. The room was spacious but old. Pool was inviting and no complaints there. The bathroom was small but clean. Issues : 1) The first major issue we hit was that the bedspreads had black mould like stains on them. When we called to get it changed, the next two sheets brought in was also the same. They were finally able to find a clean one. 2) Since we wanted to have an isolated vacation, we had clearly said we wanted all meals in the room, even the complementary breakfast and the booking was made after this was confirmed. But on calling for breakfast the next day, I was told it was not possible. It needed a fair amount of back and forth to get it resolved. 3) Despite knowing that there were 3 occupants in the room and even after saying this during ordering food, we always ended up with just 2 plates! There was even a time when the orders delivered were wrong. 4) There were mushrooms growing inside the room, proving that it was pretty wet inside as well 5) Day 2, we had loud music being played by one of the guests and it didnt stop even after informing reception many times. I finally had to go in person and request them to turn it down. Would be a good idea for guests to take the top most floor rooms since the floors are very good transmitters for noise and it can be a pain when you have people running around at the odd hours of the night. 6) Food was pretty average. We ordered south indian food and even that was just ok.
Good things : 1) Its a big property which you can explore at leisure 2) Check-in and check-out was quick and efficient

For us, only breakfast was included. Best is to keep option open for lunch as you will be outside. Also there are many restaurants in city if you want explore (provided you have personal conveyance)
Not sure what you mean by sufficiency and what you are expecting from the stay. For a normal couple, 1 Queen bed is fine. Their standard room offers that, with a total area of 29sq mtrs.
"If you are on your honeymoon, don't stay in this (unless they have a villa for a couple). Don't go with their claim of a five star resort. The staff is not courteous."
There are more places to choose from in the Vythiri area.
