We had booked this resort for the 15th August long weekend, 3 nights - about 5 months back (so well in advance - this also meant that we did have other choices, at decent prices, available). We were 5 people (1 couple in their 30s and 3 senior citizens: 60-70 years of age). We had booked 1 Tree House and 1 Pool Villa. Firstly, some positives: (1) Great location, (2) Very courteous staff, (3) You can truly spend a quiet weekend here, (4) They have a separate Ayurvedic wellness center and a separate spa, (5) Pool villa can host 6 adults (ie 2 extra adults) comfortably. Both are good but slightly pricey. Some, not so positives: (1) Tree House is absolutely overrated. We were not told that it takes ~10 minutes of off-roading to get to a Tree House. We had plans to spend time together - which meant that we ended up spending time in our booked Pool Villa (by having 1 extra mattress) - technically even if we had not booked a Tree House, we would have been just fine, (2) The resort is NOT senior-citizen friendly. Merely to go for a meal - we had to do quite a hike (cross the small river flowing through the resort, climb ~25-30 steep stairs --- We should have done better research - it is completely our fault, (3) In-house activities are limited and they become even more limited if it is rains continuously, (4) Food is just about alright (but the staff is superb), (5) All in all, this doest not feel like a 4 star property. It is more a 3-star with an additional star assigned only for the location - Little extra money and one can go for the likes of Taj Wayanad (We were looking for this property) but somehow switched to Vythiri. To the Vythiri staff: Sorry for the harsh review, but it is what it is. :-/
