Our experience at Mount Xanadu was amazing and memorable one. Location is awesome with breathtaking views from all the rooms. Plenty of options for food available with live music at night. Super hygienic place with great hospitality. Special mention to the staff ( from security to manager) who were super helpful and made sure we had a comfortable stay and great experience. Shout-out to Abhirami, Athira & Shameer for making our stay more comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place and plan to visit again soon!!!!

They cheated us, we booked through Agoda, but when we went there, they said our booking is cancelled by system and refused is a room, they cheated us by giving a room to higher price paying customers. Don't book, they may spoil your travel plans

Response from MOUNT XANADU RESORT, General Manager at Mount Xanadu Resort
Responded 2 weeks ago
Dear Mr. Paras Thank you for rating Mount Xanadu Resorts. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you.But there are no records in our visitor register of any OTA guest who came here with booking confirmation vouchers and went back without allocating rooms. Unfortunately we couldn't find your Confirmed booking details in our previous records when you contacted us over phone. But still we have investigated our Front Office, Reservation team and Online Travel Agents to understand about your booking. And when we have gone through our OTA records and found there was a room blocking happened on your name and the same has been cancelled due to nonpayment even after multiple mail reminders. But these details we found in Booking.com logs, not in Agoda. So you may please contact Agoda for further support for this booking. We value your interest on Mount Xanadu Resorts and are confident that you will provide us another opportunity to serve you.

Out Family vacation was long overdue Xanadu made the 2 days quite memorable . There where a lot of USP's for this property . While the location was the best .. the simplicity, humbleness and the always eager to help staff was something worth commending ..... All the staff ( from gatekeeper, security personnel , receptionist, service staff, chef, F&B team) everyone ensured that we where taken care of . During dinner we where treated to some Live golden era songs in hindi , malayalam , kannada ) .While i had seen mixed reviews on the food .. during our visit we where offered both the Authentic South indian including the kappa and sardine curry and north indian and continental dishes. Most times the package includes Breakfast and Dinner . Lunch was À la carte ... and the only head'sup that i have for guests , while the food is yummy ..some of the dish portion is more than enough for 2 . The sunset point within the property is worth experiencing while having tea and onion bhaji . There are ample activities lined up for the kids and adults and ofcourse the infinity pool too . The receptionists also have a local planner which you could use to tour around incase you wish to explore out of the property . They even helped us with places that is convenient for my parents .. we visited the Banasura dam , Pookode lake , and the Honey museum. Hoping to come back soon during the monsoon…

Mount Xanadu is superb. I was on a family holiday and we were a group of 20 people consisting of adults and children. The resort is located on top of a hill and the views are gorgeous. There are various points to view the sunrise/sunset. The food is excellent. The resort does buffet for breakfast and dinner. The menu is simple and limited but everything is delicious. The resort offered a traditional meal on the day of Vishu festival and the food was spectacular. Everyone from adults to children enjoyed the meal thoroughly. We were travelling from Evolve Back in coorg, which is a 5 star property, to mount xanadu in wayanad, and beyond doubt the food was better here. The rooms are comfortable. The hotel staff is helpful. Mr Anish took extra care to relieve a few of my concerns. As the weather was hot, he provided additional coolers in the room for older people. I think these gestures goes a long way in the hospitality industry. I was happy with the way the resort took care of the guests. Overall I will say, Mount Xanadu is a great place to have a bit of rest and spend some family time. Points to note- As this place is on a hill, there is a bit of uphill/downhill walk and stairs inside the property. The resort provides buggy to help with this. …

Cant start this without mentioning their marvellous hospitality. The staffs were all so well mannered and great. The place was so beautiful all around! The services, amenities, food, the flower bed and surprise candlelight dinner on the treetop were all astonishing. Would definitely recommend it to you all out there!

I'd like to rate the Hotel a 3.5* Pros - (a) the food was very good and the restaurant staff were very accomodative (b) resort is well maintained (c) there's a bunch of activities possible within the resort. Cons - (a) location is isolated - if you prefer to go out, this is not the location for you, the resort is only for those who will spend the entire time within the resort itself (b) slightly unaccomodative front office - for instance, despite only 4 rooms being occupied, we are refused a few hours extra check out time. The weather is also hot in Wayanad at this time, right from 9AM onwards. While the hill top view shows a wide expanse, greenery is missing and the views are therefore average at best. Best visited in winter, or perhaps monsoon, months only.

Dear Sir, Thank you for staying with us at Mount Xanadu Resorts and we appreciate your time to post the pors and cons in TripAdvisor about your experiences. We are deeply concerned about your feedback regarding displeased experience during your recent stay due to weather condition. Wayanad has a moderate weather and this month the temperature slightly high unlike previous years. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you for the refusal of the extra hours. We are providing the late checkout facility for an hour maximum since our rooms are open in all online channels and we expect guest at any point of time. So it’s our responsibility to ensure available clean rooms from 2 pm onwards. But even in your case there was confirmed arrival also in your rooms. Front office can provide early check in facility if there is no guest occupied at that particular room. The well example is your check in time only. Front office has given you the rooms, 2 hours early before the check in time. We value your review and confident that you would provide us another opportunity to serve you better.
