Clean rooms spacious rooms with balcony's overlooking the preserve. We saw water buffalo and birds while hanging out on our balcony. We had breakfast included in our room rate and the breakfast included a wide variety and was very good. We did not choose to eat dinner at the resort just so we could explore other options in the town.... More

I have been there with my family for 3nights and 4days, great place to stay people who love nature will enjoy it. Kalari and kathakali shows were great, the hotel management is good. The food is really bad even after telling them it was the same case. You have a very limited choice for breakfast The massage center is good.... More

Rooms are spacious and have a really nice view over the fields where you can see Bison. The hotel is close to the entrance of the Tiger reserve. Restaurant does not have a lot of the options available so pick out a couple dishes incase your first choice is not there. Wireless does not reach to certain rooms The manager... More

Stayed for 2 nights in March 2013, very satisfied. Friendly and welcoming staff as we did not book in advance we could see the rooms and choose in which room to stay. All rooms have a balcony to Tekkady nature park. Massage one of the best what we have during our two weeks trip in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

The hotel has a nice swimming pool and a reasonably good restaurant. The food... More

Hotel rooms were superb, clean and calm. Very near to market as well as periyar lake. Nice view from the hotel balcony. Nice... More

We were not planning to stay in Thekkady, but rather to drive back to Cochin where we had already booked a hotel (be careful about non-refundable reservations on hotels in India -- lots of place including airlines and trains don't take International credit cards, so you must...
