This is an astonishing hotel with excellent staff, grounds, food and ambience. We are British and found this hotel online and booking was very easy prior to coming The location is on a hill - this is obvious when you book and they provide half...board due to this - you can choose to go out but may need transport if you are not a hiker There is lots to do here - hiking, resting, trips out - it is a secluded paradise The food is beautiful and well presented - compliments to the chef and his staff They are building glamping units overlooking the valley which will be superb as they also face the reservoirs like all the other rooms They are creative as they also offer 2 caves to stay in. - truly awesome !!!! Complimentary afternoon tea served at the view point terrace - breathtaking We were treated like royalty - it is a small hotel and very personal which makes it very very special Thank you to all the staff - they are fabulous 🥰🥰❤️❤️🌅🌅🌞🌞🌞🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🥰🥰More

I am from Seattle, USA and Was in Wayanad/Coorg for a week. My plan is to stay in top 5 star restaurants in Coorg and Wayanad to relax on my trip.on my first day arriving at kozhikode, I am unable to get accommodation in any...of those 5 star and stopped by to crash for a day at Xanadu. Surprisingly, my stay at mount Xanadu was the best stay of my whole vacation. They are much better than the so called best 5 star hotels around Vythiri and Padinjarathara. I get what was described in the website.mount xanadu is not like other resorts which are overcrowded, looks like just 14 rooms and every room has awesome rooms and they are super spacious. First of all , was greeted by Abhirami at the front desk and she gave a tour of the resort. The best part is personalized phone calls for even walk or reminders for dinner/breakfast. Abhirami takes good care of the guest and she is the best.there is a infinity pool in the resort and it’s the best part , I can sit all day long starring at the views and I never got bored. Evening dinner is amazing.. this is the best food , I had beating all the five star restaurants and nobody can even come close to Xanadu excellently flavor. Typical kerala food rich with flavors. Special mention is the small onion spicy curry which is out of the world. They also have evening campfire where you can hangout and talk to other guests in the resort. next day , breakfast as continental as well as South Indian breakfast.. very rich in flavors and I am unable to eat for the whole day. Special thanks to restaurant manager Renjith and the sous chef anoop who made me the best masala omelet I ever had. he definitely has magic in his hands. General manager Thomas was very polite in hearing feedback and taking steps to improve the resort for the wellness of the guests. Overall ..even though it’s a 4 star price wise you get everything better than a five star resort.infinity pool, the amazing greenery around the resort , non stop crickets , fantastic South Indian food , play area for kids and unbeaten ambalavayal views…in future , I felt I feel like trying these kind of upcoming resorts rather than renowned resorts around this area who were reluctant to accept feedback and not investing in improving their resorts which are outdated and just have 5 star status for marketing. I spoke with aneesh , sales manager and he has great plans in taking this resort to next level and I hope his plans will come to life soon. Kudos to manager Abhirami who is the heart of this resort who takes every effort from morning 7 am till 10 pm taking care of everything in the resort running to perfection every day to provide an awesome experience for fun as well as relaxed experience at Mount XAnadu.. thanks Mount XAnadu we enjoyed our stay and we will be back here next time I visit IndiaMore

Really amazing property and in my views, we can spend whole time of our trip in the property itself by seeing all the views from the different locations like watch tower, mountains etc. Service Is too good in all aspects, restaurant, reception, house keeping etc.They...will treat us like one of their family and do their service at any time Quality of the food and taste is very good and even all categories of people can enjoy the food with their combinations of south and North Indian dishes Don’t miss this place and it was overall wonderful experience we should go and enjoy the resort interior, food and service SaravananMore

I've been to Wayanad a couple of times now and had a wonderful experience at the previous stay as well but at Mount Xanadu it was a completely different experience. It's a luxury resort with fantastic views of the valley and river streams of a...dam right on top of a mountain. Isn't that amazing. You'll be blown away by the view the moment you enter the gates of this beautiful resort and the best part is it's just 2 km.from the town. The weather was fantastic. About 15-20 degree Celsius throughout the day. The best part is because of it's high altitude the weather is wonderful cool amongst the most and the clouds all the time through the year so this could be the right place during the hot summer's. The food at the resort is sumptuous. We went with the full board package and were asked before every meal was prepared in terms of what we wanted and the way we wanted it cooked. That shows their hospitality. The staff is absolutely courteous and guest centric. Initially I spoke to Rahul for bookings and we cracked an awesome deal with each other which is so hard with many of the luxury resorts. I even tried the serai bandipur but they just didnt bother retaining the customer. Mahesh on the other hand was the resort manager and knew very well how to host his guests. The resort has plenty of games like snooker, an infinity pool with stunning views, boxing pole, archery, badminton, etc which will take care of your kids. The trek to the nearby mountains is an awesome way for exploring some more stunning views of this place. I stayed In the Lake view exotic premium room. It was absolutely spacious with beautiful views of the valley and river streams which is what this resort is actually all about. However I'd stayed in more luxurious rooms for the same price across India and Asia hence my suggestion would be to opt for their grand pool view or suite rooms which are stunning and which would complete your stay as far as luxury goes. Because these rooms are not only huge but have the best interiors and the best views of the place.More

I visited this property with my family last week for 2 nights. We booked 2 rooms, one with a lake view and another with river view, both have stunning views. Both had a feel of space. The property is huge and you can actually explore...it without going anywhere else for sightseeing in Wayanad. The staff is very polite, especially Mr Mahesh who was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay, right from booking time. Mr Jithin and Mr Jojo also needs a mention.One of the staff who took us for a trek was very enthusiastic. The food was decent and they accommodated all our requests with a smiling face. The infinity pool was the best and we spent a lot of time there. Even the activity room and the terrace are worth mentioning. The terrace is huge and the view is beautiful. All in all a great place with a great service.More

Guys, this is the total place to unwind. One of the best places to stay. The resort is nestled between mountains with amazing views and lots of options to explore. Access to the property is also really easy, just a few Kms of the main...highway, with a few bends. Not difficult to drive at all. Staff are very courteous, food options are limited but it's negligible to the quality they provide you with. Any type of local flavours can be tried and they make sure it's an experience worth remembering. There are options within the resort itself for trekking and also a watch points for sunset and sunrise. It's truly a experience. Must visit and again on the list of traveling options.More

I stayed here from 18th-23rd April along with my family and it was a most memorable stay. While the service was most exemplary,a special mention must be made for the efforts spared in designing the property and making facilities available for the guest to enjoy...at the resort itself. Like Mandrake the magician,an excellent resort has been carved out of the rocks on top of the hills. The views are magnificent. My kids and even us, enjoyed playing all the games and spending family time together. There are lot of activities for children to keep them occupied even if you decide to spend the day at the resort only. The fishing activity was really enjoyed by my kids as it was their first time doing so. The food was really good and we tried to taste as much local cuisine as we could. We requested for mild spicy fare at the beginning and it was religiously followed throughout the entire stay. We would definitely like to stay there again in the future. Thank you Mahesh, Biju, Ranjit, Rohit and the rest of the team.More
