Avadale Wayanad (Stag Groups Not Allowed)

Avadale Wayanad is an excellent place to stay with family, friends, or as a couple. Reaching the resort is a real off-road adventure, with a thrilling 4×4 jeep ride guided by an experienced driver, Thomas.The staff were very supportive, friendly, and well-behaved. The food—both breakfast and dinner—was delicious. The team also guided us well in exploring nearby tourist attractions.The resort’s location is especially beautiful, situated in the middle of a coffee estate with stunning views. Our jeep driver, Thomas, explained the resort’s surroundings and shared interesting information about the local people and area.Overall, it is definitely worth staying at Avadale Wayanad. Highly recommended for families, friends, and couples!

The resort itself is quite amazing...pool is well maintained, and the cleanliness is unmatched. The included breakfast was amazing but the paid lunch could have been better. Paneer Kurchan tasted like pickle tbh. The jeep ride to reach the place is kinda crazy. All in all, if you want a stay in / staycation kinda resort , this is perfect. For frequent outings and night rides , not recommended as the jeep facilities are only till 8pm

Our stay at Avadale Wayanad showed us how one person can ruin the entire experience of a place.The man in charge of the property, Sunil, couldn't have been more hostile towards guests. From the day of check-in till the final checkout, he made sure to spoil our experience with his rude and unprofessional behaviour.Out of all the incidents, I will write about two that really put us off.1. The food ordering experienceWe were super hungry after spending time at the pool and tried to order food. The menu kept in our room had only starters and a few accompaniments. Unsure about the menu, we called the manager, Sunil, to ask if they had any main course options for lunch.He answered the call and, in the rudest tone, told us that we could only order what was on the menu kept in the room and nothing more.I told him that the menu only had a list of starters and that there were no main course options like noodles or fried rice. To this, he again replied that whatever was on the menu was all they had, and that they didn't even have everything listed there. He then asked, "Can you first decide what you want and then call me?"This was the response we received for a simple query about food!We eventually had to order Maggi for lunch because, according to him, that was all they had.An hour later, he sent us a digital copy of the menu on WhatsApp and claimed that he had already shared it with us the previous day during check-in, but that it had somehow got deleted. Not even a simple apology for the confusion or the way he had spoken to us!2. The food bill payment experienceWhen it was time to settle the food bill, Sunil told us that we had to come to his cabin to make the payment, as he couldn't share the QR code on WhatsApp.When we asked him why, he gave us some explanation about delays in receiving payments.We were staying in the Rock Cabin, their premium suite, and had to walk down and climb the stairs to reach his cabin in the dark. After making our way there, he simply showed us the QR code on his POS machine for payment!Mr. Sunil seems to have forgotten that he works in the hospitality industry, where the whole idea is to make guests feel comfortable and make their stay as pleasant and hassle-free as possible.Instead, we were made to go through unnecessary inconvenience and deal with a very rude and unprofessional attitude.Avadale Wayanad has the potential to offer a great stay, but our experience was seriously let down by the person in charge. Hospitality is not just about the property or the rooms; it is also about how you treat your guests. Unfortunately, that was completely missing in our experience.

I booked this hotel after seeing the really high ratings, even before I reached this hotel, the hotel manager Sunil Warghese stayed in touch with me and asked me to inform him 40 mins prior to reaching the hotel so that they can send a jeep to pick me up. From the moment I sat in the jeep, to the terranious ride up to the hotel, the hotel room, the facilities inside, the restaurant just 5-6 stair steps away from the hotel room, and the view that I got from there, I was BLOWN away. I couldn't be more proud of my decision to book this hotel. The staff was amazing. Their jeep drivers were extremely nice. And they have an auto driver on contract, Riyas, who can take you sight seeing. Riyas was extremely hospitable to me, took me for sight seeing on 2 consecutive days, and charged me 1800 rs for each day which I think was fair. If you want to go sight seeing, u can talk to the jeep drivers or the hotel manager and they will give u the contact number of Riyas.The food at the restaurant? Tbh I though the prices were a little on the higher end compared to the usual food prices in Kerala, especially paying 389 rs for Kadhai paneer didn't feel right to me.The location is a MAJOR HEADACHE and the only reason why I've given it 1/5 stars. It's approximately 2 kms away from the roads, on a hilly terrain, the ride up and down there from a jeep was a pain even for a physically fit young man for me, I can't even think of bringing my old age parents here. Also, the ride is extremely risky, yes the jeep drivers are skilled, but one small mistake can send you cartwheeling into the slopes. Also, you will be essentially cut off from the rest of the city and u won't be able to leave your hotel without the jeep provided by hotel manager, and these jeeps have timings, from 5 am to 9 pm. If you have a medical emergency at night, or if you have a basic necessity, you really can't do anything about it.The prices are great, the hotel staff is great, the hotel manager Sunil is an amazing man, but the location is a big big issue. I was lucky it didn't rain a single time during my stay, but if it rains heavily, and this terranious route gets water logged...I'm glad I didn't have to experience that.
