I had a mixed experience at the resort. The candlelight dinner in the cave was breathtaking with beautiful ambiance, but the service was disappointing. The rooms were well-kept, and the trek they arranged was enjoyable. While I loved the uniqueness of the cave dinner experience, the service left a lot to be desired.

The resort is a hidden gem located close to Edakkal Caves, making it a great base for exploring Wayanad. The sunset views and the cave dining experience were truly memorable, and the hospitality from the staff was top-notch. However, there were some cleanliness issues, and the value for money didn’t seem quite right considering the high prices for some amenities.

I had an extraordinarily unique experience dining in a cave with a stunning candlelit ambiance, which was truly magical. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was generally good. However, my experience was marred by some service issues that left a less than ideal impression. The view of the Edakkal Caves from the resort was beautiful, which added to the charm, but there were some hiccups that need addressing.

My stay at this resort was truly memorable, as it perfectly blends comfort and the tranquility of nature. The breathtaking views of the mountains from my room were simply enchanting, and the outdoor dining experiences were one of a kind. However, the cleanliness of the rooms could be improved, and the responsiveness of the staff was sometimes slow, which detracted from an otherwise fabulous experience.
