Vythiri Village

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/

The resort is spread across a vast region with lot of areas to explore. The hanging bridge, infinity pool, zipline, artificial waterfall, multiple restaurants, kids play park, archery and outdoor games are the key points which makes the resort a unique experience. The staffs are fully supportive and cordial, giving their fullest to provide us the best hospitality. Really enjoyed the stay.

We embarked on a journey to Vythiri Village Resort, a property of Club Mahindra, generously sponsored by a friend who is a club member. Our route from Aluva took us through scenic, winding roads, passing through bustling towns like Thrissur, Perintal***na, and ***jeri. Google served as our trusty guide, leading us ***** the shortest and least congested path. Despite being labeled as a State Highway, the roads felt more like narrow country lanes. Our quest for a decent breakfast spot ***** the way proved challenging, with the towns just beginning to stir even at 9:00 AM. Finally, in Perital***na at 9:30 AM, we stumbled upon a vegetarian (Udupi) restaurant, our only option at the time. Although the food was standard fare, it failed to match the quality we've experienced at other Udupi restaurants. As we journeyed onwards, we were struck by the scarcity of roadside eateries typical of highways. We navigated our way through Mukkom and the 'Thazhvaram' before ascending through the Thamaressery Churam, where the scenery was awe-inspiring but the roads too narrow for overtaking slow-moving traffic. Upon reaching the plateau in Wayanad where Vythiri is nestled, we were greeted by the impressive, wooded expanse of the resort. While the reception and accommodations provided by Club Mahindra were satisfactory, other facilities within the Vythiri Village Resort seemed neglected and unoccupied. Our first meal at the resort's restaurant left much to be desired, with overpriced dishes that failed to impress. Undeterred, we explored the resort's 47-acre campus, indulging in activities like a short zipline ride and taking a dip in one of the two swimming pools. The following day, we embarked on an early morning ride through the forest to the Kerala border and beyond to Gundalpet. Although we didn't encounter any elephants or bisons, sightings of deer and a peacock added to the charm of the journey. Breakfast at a restaurant near the border was underwhelming, prompting us to forgo a second helping. Our return journey, marred by increasing traffic, felt long and tiresome. Disappointed by the lack of dining options in Vythiri, we decided to check out early the next day, opting for a longer route via Mepaddy, Gudalur, and Ooty. The scenic climb to Ooty was marred by potholed roads, but we found respite in a satisfying breakfast at Paradise vegetarian restaurant. The search for decent eateries continued in Ooty, highlighting the scarcity of dining options ***** hillside roads. Our drive through Coonoor was hindered by bad roads, with smooth sailing only after reaching Mettupalayam. Finally, after a long journey, we arrived back at our starting point in Aluva at 5:00 PM. Throughout our trip, the lack of quality restrooms and dining options, especially ***** hillside routes, was a recurring challenge. While the journey offered glimpses of breathtaking scenery, the overall experience left us unenthused about returning to these locales.

Nice stay. Good ambience. Superb spa. Good restaurant staff. Property is lying on a good space. It was splendid hotel we have ever been to. The rooms were really good and comfortable. Food was especially good Everything was totally great. Suggested

Visited the resort as a group of 30 people. The resort was luxurious. The staff were very courteous and made us feel very welcome and made us feel like royalty. The biggest USP according to me was the artificial water fall. It was beautiful. The resort's exquisite dining options surpassed our expectations, offering a diverse range of culinary delights that catered to every palate. The attention to detail throughout the property was truly impressive, and the well-maintained grounds and facilities added to the overall charm. Whether it was lounging by the pool, enjoying a spa treatment, or exploring the nearby attractions, there was always something enjoyable to do. The resort's commitment to guest satisfaction was evident in every aspect of our stay, and we left feeling rejuvenated and completely satisfied. We can't wait to return to this exceptional resort for another unforgettable getaway. If you're looking for a destination that offers luxury, relaxation, and impeccable service, we highly recommend choosing this resort for your next vacation.

Visiting to Vythiri was on my wish list for quite some time now. I had to cancel my trip twice earlier after making reservations, first due to Nympha and then due to the Kerala floods. Finally in May 2023, because I couldn’t plan any other holidays and bookings were available via Club Mahindra (I am a member), I didn’t think twice to plan for it. I had high expectations from the resort since it was showcased as a luxury resort with beautiful pictures of its hanging bridge, infinity pool, gifted with bountiful forest cover with a view of a mountain peak amongst so ***y other things. I was waiting to be pampered. Let’s see how it was: 1. Checking in (****)- The resort has roped in few highly energetic folks who do a great job and are actually looking forward for doing it, so full marks to them here. But then comes the Club Mahindra executive with a smile that makes you feel that he’s doing a favour by showing up, I think Club Mahindra has got its task cut out in the associate properties where they try to have a ***ager who does nothing more than saying a “Namaste”. This person brought an otherwise 100% experience to almost sub-optimal levels. Please listen @clubmahindra. 2. Rooms (**) - I was given a Delux room which had a twin bed arrangement, I was not asked for any preference it was just given like that. I was travelling with my wife and 7 yr old, so there was no way we could comfortably sleep in those beds. It felt like being in a dorm or some 3* business hotel. So much for being in a luxury resort. 3. Resort facilities (***) - I would have given it a 4* if they would not call themselves a 5* resort. The infinity pool, even though not a large one but is a good enough sized pool. Kids can have a good time. It has a rich flora, I enjoyed my walk amongst the chirping of birds. Spa is okay. 4. Food (**) - Again a clear case of over commit and under delivery. Once I’m in a resort I prefer to have food inside because I believe that the quality and hygiene are not compromised. So I’m okay with not great tasting food, for this we do a dinner once during the trip in one of the top restaurants as per recommendation. Saying the breakfast service to be below par is actually putting it mildly, I stayed here 4 nights (1 night extension) and got the same menu served every single day, well this has started in the bigger chains like Taj or Marriot as well but at least you have a choice. Unfortunately we don’t prefer a lot of South Indian food, unfortunately there was no option. They don’t have a live section for eggs, which is a life saviour on most times. Same goes for the Dinner and Lunch. I have to say don’t play to have any meals here, a la carte we didn’t try probably should have . 5 . Front desk (*) - Well they appear to be pretty experienced but IMHO what’s hampering the service is a big ego. I had to extend my stay for a day, called the front desk was assured of a call back never happened. Went in person was assured by a Senior sales ***ager it would

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 ***agement 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 ***agement planned their dinner ***** 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 ***agement is not able to plan things efficiently.

Highly recommended property for a couple, a family or a large group. It's a 35 acres sprawling property admist a forest Location is great, various options of guest rooms are available, good menu for breakfast spread, very nice buffet lunches & dinner at restaurants. The staff is very warm & helpful. Guest Rooms are well appointed with comfortable bed with crisp linen, very nice toilet with good hot-cold water pressure in the overhead shower, large vanity counter etc .. The Resort has 2 large swimming pools, ***y activities like Archery, Cycling, Trekking Etc...

We being club mahindra members had booked hotel unit room which was not luxurious but decent enough for few days stay and bathroom was also good with all the fittings, our check in was smooth and were guided to our room by Ms Lubna with smile and all the room fittings explained, the rooms do not have balcony and are far from the main building so always need vehicle for transfer, the cars needs to be replaced as they are in bad condition, but the drivers are good and the security staff were also good and attentive, Mr Shyam has been appointed to look after the club mahindra guests, he is good and always happy to help, for breakfast, restaurant is on 3rd floor of building having club mahindra accommodation rooms, and the rest for lunch and dinner restaurant is at the main building, the food taste was good and captain Mr Jerin and his staff team Dolma, Joyrani, Jenifer and others were also good and Ms Avantika at the front desk was very sweet and always smiling, this resort is approx 300 mtrs walk able from resort to the main road where you can shop and dine at restaurants if you feel interested, we had booked cab from their travel desk with no extra charges, being monsoon season the resort had very less occupancy, the upkeep of the resort in monsoon is always challenging hence need to make some adjustments to enjoy the nature at its best.
