Reviews of Vistara Resort

The hotel is set in a beautiful location overlooking the water, surrounded by so much greenery. The resort itself has a lot of charm, but unfortunately, it felt like the property could have been maintained better. Check-in was a little slow, and the amenities felt quite dated. The game zone, in particular, could use an upgrade, with some of the equipment looking old and a few game accessories missing. Our room was very spacious and had a lovely large balcony, but cleanliness was a concern. There were quite a few cobwebs in the room and on the balcony roof, ***** with some mould in the washroom. The chairs and other furnishings also felt dated. A little more attention to cleanliness and upkeep would have made a big difference. That said, the manager was incredibly nice and spoke to us about plans for upgrading the hotel, which was encouraging to hear. Hopefully, we can come back to see the property in its upgraded state. And the food definitely deserves a mention! The parottas were fresh, crisp and absolutely delicious. We’d happily come back just for the food too! Our verdict: A beautiful, spacious resort with a fantastic setting and lovely food, but one that could really benefit from better maintenance 🌿

Words cannot do justice to a place like this located in our very own God's own country, Kerala. If you are looking for a place to explore with family, especially if you have kids, then Wayanad is the place and Vistara is the resort you must choose. I picked Vistara from MakeMyTrip, purely based on reviews and photos and I was totally happy with the decision. Wayanad is about 3 hours drive from Kozhikode airport, and you can plan your taxi pickup and drop via MakeMyTrip which makes it very easy and reliable. Wayanad has so many interesting activities and places to see, that 5 days minimum is a must with family. Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary Safari, 900 Kandi Off Road adventure, Honey Museum, Vythiri Bird Park, Go Karting (Mountain Race Wayanad) are some of many interesting places to see. There are so many adventure activities spread across Wayand that you will struggle to do it all in a week. Vistara Resort, located right next to the Karapuzha Dam/ Reservoir is a drop from heaven. Anyone from the city will take time to adjust to the clean air and lush green hills situated on the banks of the reservoir. I can rate the resort 5/5 for its ambience, location, service, staff, food, rooms and amenities. My experience was not short of a 5 star big name resort as the people in this resort gave it a difference experience to me and your family. Thanks to Bijo PM (Manager) for taking care of my family’s needs for a whole week. We had so many demands every day and without hesitation he was able to fulfill. Amazing one *** army. Srijil and Sreshma, took care of my family in the sap, we really need the right therapy to rejuvenate and recover from our fast paced life. Big thanks to Praveen, Akhil (production team), Moorthi, Hussain,Yadhu (service team), Rahul, Yusaf, Shanker , bibin , Raju, siraj (house keeping team) Sreejitha, jinsha , jijitha, Anjana - (front office team). Also thanks to the Chef for making really delicious food. We preferred to eat at the resort daily for his cooking. Also don’t miss talking to Mohanan (Security), he is a *** of 1000 stories to entertain. I really miss Vistara, it felt like family taking care of family and I look forward to going back in the coming years if not months.

We had a wonderful stay at VISTARA Resort, Wayanad yesterday. The place is absolutely serene, nestled amidst nature with a beautiful view that instantly calms your mind. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure our family felt at home throughout our stay.

Stayed in the Pool Villa at Vistara by The Lake, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The villa was spacious, well-maintained, and offered stunning views, making it the perfect place to relax. The spa services were excellent, providing a truly rejuvenating experience. The staff was courteous and attentive, ensuring a seamless and comfortable stay. The resort’s tranquil ambiance, great hospitality, and beautiful surroundings made the trip even more special. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious retreat in Wayanad!

I stayed for two nights at Vistara in Wayanad through Agoda, and my experience was very disappointing. During the booking itself, I was charged more than the actual confirmed amount under a so-called “surcharge,” which was never explained. When I contacted Agoda, they told me to ask the hotel. When I called the hotel management, they spoke rudely and told me to “go ask Agoda, not us,” refusing to explain anything. This kind of behavior is completely unprofessional. On top of that, while the first day’s service was good, the second day’s treatment was poor, and it felt like guests were not given equal attention. Overall, between the hidden charges, blame-shifting, and rude management, this was a very unpleasant stay. I would strongly advise future guests to double-check all charges and reconsider before booking this property.

Our stay was extremely comfortable. The villa was clean and had all the amenities, plus it overlook the karapuzha dam, so it had an excellent view. The staff was very friendly, prompt and accomodating. Overall, we had a great time.

What a place to stay during this Season . Absolute catch .i would say to visit during the mid Monsoon and Summer season . Pool is awesome

I had a wonderful stay at Vistara Resort in Wayanad. The lakeside view from my room was absolutely stunning and made the experience truly memorable. The service was excellent, and the staff went out of their way to be warm, attentive, and helpful throughout my visit. Their genuine hospitality made me feel very welcome. Overall, it was a relaxing and delightful stay, and I would highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Wayanad.

Exceptional service . Location is the best and nice views from room. Far from city noise and absolutely enjoyed the stay and will definitely come back

I recently visited Vistara with my friends, and we booked the Sky Villas. We were welcomed with violet water lilies and spice tea such a pleasant and unique touch. We stayed for two nights and had an amazing time. One of the highlights was spending fun time in the pool with my buddies after a long time. The live music at night was another memorable moment ,the violinist absolutely nailed it, and with the campfire beside us, the whole evening felt incredibly satisfying. On the second day, Vistara arranged a hike to Chengeri Hills. Though I’m not usually a fan of treks, I really enjoyed this one since it was short (just a 30-minute uphill walk), and the view at the top was breathtaking with mountains, mist, lakes, and the sunrise all coming together beautifully. We were keen on trying authentic Kerala cuisine, and Vistara did not disappoint. The food was excellent, and a special mention goes to the Vistara Chicken Fry, easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in Kerala. For lunch, we had fish curry meals with chicken, ***** with a variety of interesting veg curries. The service required special mention, with Mr. Bijo and his team at the restaurant ensuring everything was perfect. On our last night, we had a celebration for our newly married buddy. The team arranged a cake-cutting ceremony with DJ music, making it even more fun. After a long time, all of us got together for an unforgettable meetup, and this trip will always hold a special place in our memories!

Very good experience. Really enjoyed the stay. Hospitality is excellent. Food was very tasty. View is breathtaking. Very clean rooms.

Excellent stay and very good staff and service

I had a wonderful and comfortable stay for 3 nights. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were welcoming and efficient. The concierge was particularly helpful in providing recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we enjoyed a great night's sleep. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent.
