Mount Xanadu

Mount Xanadu sits gracefully atop one of the highest peaks in the Ambalavayal region. It's proximal to abundant forests, lakes and rivers which make for a scenic ensemble when you look out into the valley below. The staff is extra helpful and in my case the management actually arranged for a bespoke trek to the actual peak which can be accessed by a steep and yet rewarding climb. The views from this vantage point were beyond spectacular and I highly recommend trekking enthusiasts to engage in this activity. The other highlights of this resort are the eco-friendly philosophies - from the trees they've conserved in the property to the use of rainwater harvesting techniques. The property itself is huge and one can spend a few days at least relaxing at various common balconies and lookout areas. The food is brilliant and one many an occasion, the chef actually prepared non-spicy delicacies as per our request. The infinity pool is clean and great to spend a lazy afternoon. The gym facilities are as advertised.

Nothing that I can think of!

This was the best place we have stayed in when being in India. The views from the hotel are breathtaking, it is even better to go for a free walk to the view point behind it for 360 grades view of most of the Wananad. Staff is absolutely honest and helpful. Area around is full of trekking possibilities.

I apreciated everything.

We stayed here for 3 nights as we ventured around Wayanad. We were welcomed with open arms and a very tasty homemade mint soda. Mahesh and his staff are professionals that made sure we arrived safely from Calicut Airport. We were graciously given a complimentary upgrade to a romantic view room and a candlelit dinner. The meals that were prepared for lunch and dinner were among the best Indian foods that we've tasted. Definitely do not miss out on the Kerala food! The trekking experience was short but worth due to their amazing sights overlooking the jungles, mountains and reservoirs. We were shown the cave room which was absolutely fascinating! With that said, we wish we could have been here in a few months from now once the new rooms are finished being built and the pool is open. There is also talk about opening a spa at the resort which would be a great addition to the amenities. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay at Mount Xanadu and would welcome any foreign travelers to come experience for themselves. Not only did we feel safe, but we felt that this was a good value. Thank you Mahesh and team for your dedication.
