The hype
Guests are blown away by the location and infinity pool but often find the food average and service well-meaning but occasionally untrained.
Mount Xanadu Resorts
$130-250/ nuit
Réservez si You want a family-friendly hilltop escape with sweeping Wayanad views and unique room types like caves or glamping domes.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Panoramic views of the misty Cheengeri Hills and Karapuzha Reservoir
- Unique 'Phantom Cave' and 'Glamping Dome' accommodations
- Infinity pool that feels like it's floating above the clouds
En bref : A scenic hilltop playground that nails the views and novelty rooms but struggles with soundproofing and consistent food quality.
Évalué par @iwalkeatdream: I spent two days glamping here and it was the highlight of our Kerala trip. The dome room felt so cozy while the rain poured outside, and the infinity pool views are just breathtaking. It’s the perfect peaceful escape for families.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit

- You are a family with active kids who need space to run
- You love Instagrammable spots like infinity pools and sunset points
- You want a unique stay experience like sleeping in a cave or dome

- Linens & towels: Fresh and white. No major complaints about stains or wear.
- Odors & scents: Fresh mountain air. Some 'musty' smells reported in the cave rooms during wet months.

Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Don't miss the short hike to the private sunset viewpoint within the property—better than many public spots.

Request a 'high tea' setup at the watchtower for a better view.
- ✨
The 'Mud Cave' is cooler naturally but can feel a bit damp in monsoon season.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Glamping Domes' can get greenhouse-hot in the afternoon if AC isn't cranked.
💡You might hear the morning prayers from nearby places of worship echoing up the valley.
💡Room service can be slow during peak dinner hours (8-9 PM).
💡The 'Ayurveda Spa' is decent but basic—don't expect a medical-grade wellness center.
💡The foggy mornings are the best part—wake up early (6 AM) to see the clouds below you.
