    Wi-Fi kept dropping out and the code needed to be input at least twice before it could be used. No shade around the pool - however umbrellas are not an option due to the high winds.

    Fabulous views. Lovely large room (302) with exceptionally large balcony, with sitting area overlooking Tamil Nadu. Chef Ram on hand to discuss personal preferences for food, and prepared us some tasty food. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Be aware that there are some steep climbs to the rooms from reception - not good for anyone with mobility issues.

    We wanted to do the periyar boat trip and asked for help planning activities before arriving, but were told to talk to reception when we arrived, by which time this was fully booked. This is partly on us, we should have come more prepared and taken responsibility for booking activities ourselves, but we expected more proactive service from a 5-star hotel. Staff also made us do a google review on the spot when leaving, which felt a bit forced. Also note that staying here seemed to make all the taxi companies set up their prices, but that might be our bad luck.

    The staff were so nice and helpful. The food was also fantastic, we had a clay pot dish with beef that was out of this world. Pool was beautiful but cold, so kept it to one dip. View was beautiful, although we often felt like we were inside a cloud. The hotel itself is very charming.

    Perfect hotel with amazing view and pool located on top of Thekkady!
    • Leisure trip

    The only comment I would leave for the hotel to improve are the food options. I believe the hotel is trying (with the decor, style of living along with the cost per night) to attract western crowd and higher end clientele from India which is totally fine, but the restaurant food menu can be improved. It is neither completely Indian or Western or a good fusion yet. The menu is somewhat limited (dinner) and need to be re-visited. The food quality is also very sub-par compared to what you can get out in Thekkady city considering you are in the middle of Kerala and you can expect authentic Kerala cuisine. The western cooking seems to be in more of a learning curve that is going on in the kitchen. Overall, it has quite a bit of room to improve!

    Danya with Guest Relations was extremely helpful. I missed the opportunity to reserve tickets in advance for me and my mother for the Periyar Tiger Reserve boat ride and she purchased it on our behalf thru her contacts and paid herself which I reimbursed after arriving at the hotel. Hotel is located at the topmost point of Thekkady and you can see the Tamil Nadu and Kerala landscapes from the 360 roof top. Excellent cottages and views with a remarkable infinity pool...one of the prettiest infinity pools I have seen with the view. Staff were very polite at the restaurant and elsewhere.

    We loved our stay in this hotel. Although it is a bit difficult to get there, then you really appreciate the view and peace. The staff was amazing, always ready to help. The room was huge and very clean, beautifully decorated, very homely ambience. Great food in the restaurant, good choice of Indian and European cuisine. If we go back to Thekkady, we will definitely choose this hotel to stay.

    The decor of the hotel is a little eclectic - a cross between twee English country garden, Indian rustic and modern, but that aside, this is a great place to stay in.

    The setting of the hotel, high in the hills above Thekkady is beautiful, with amazing views over Kerala on one side and Tamil Nadu the other. The grounds of the hotel are beautifully curated with lush greenery and flowers. The staff are friendly and helpful and special thanks go to the chef who at my husband's request, demonstrated how to make fish mollee. The service all in all was great, as was the range and quality of food.
