Abad Brookside Wayanad

This is an awesome property right in the middle of wild rainforests of Lakkidi ranges, amidst the Western Ghats. If you are looking for experiencing pure unspoilt nature, there is no other place in Wayanad. Over the years we have stayed in numerous resorts in Wayanad District and must acknowledge this was one of the best. A natural pure water stream flows through the property which very quickly becomes favourite place to spend time with family and friends. We visited right at the onset of pre-monsoon rains, the entire resort was beaming with lush greenery. Around afternoon time the entire place was covered with misty clouds providing a rare experience. And the best part is ever smiling staff who would go the extra mile in making the guests comfortable. The Resort ***ager Mr Joshy and his team at front desk, the restaurant ***ager and all the staff deserve an applaud for providing the guests a fantastic hospitality experience. Food is homely with a reasonable spread of North and South Indian options. Breakfast was decent and nicely cooked. The resort is around 3 Km up the hill in dense forest. This last mile stretch is not easily driveable, so the resort provides a secure parking facility near the highway from where their Jeep will pick you up and ferry to/from the resort. Unless you are an extremely experienced driver who can handle steep climbs on an off-roading mode and driving a SUV I would not recommend you to take a chance. Please do not risk driving your Sedans or low clearance cars up. The resort’s Jeep pick up and drop service with experienced drivers and staff is just awesome. If you are planning to get real Wayanad Jungles of Western Ghats experience, look no further than this place. Would love to visit again !

It’s a nice property however I feel the rooms are not maintained to the standards of the price. When I entered the room it had a stuffy smell and when I complained they put some freshner. The food is however very exceptionally good and priced also reasonably.

Amazing property. Beautiful location with the Stream flowing within the premise. Well landscaped with natural swings at various places around the Stream and near camp fire location. Very good service. Very helpful reception. Appreciate Mr.Roy who helped us with medicines (which had to be bought from Vythri) for my daughter who was sick. On the whole a great experience. Dinner buffet was reasonably priced. Though the resort is off road with a challenging 2 Km route, we were adequately warned and resort provided Jeep service whenever required. Couple of feedbacks for improvement a. Food variety can be improved. I stayed for 4 nights and started getting bored with the Breakfast and Dinner menu. They could include Pizzas in the ala carte menu and provide croissants in Breakfast. b. Room service can be improved. Ordered twice and both times had some issue with quality or time taken. c. Fan was making a big noise in room no 503 which could not be fixed during my stay. d. Hot water was not available all the time, though they mentioned its available 24/7. e. Camp fire was good, but too noisy. I would rather sit around and enjoy the sounds of nature with a mild music in the background at best. On the whole quite happy with the choice of the place.

Resort is located on a hill and among the forest and tea gardens and feels like you are very close to nature. If you are going by your own vehicle, you can park it at the bottom of the mountain and the resort will arrange jeep for you to reach the resorts. The off road jeep ride to reach the resort was a wonderful experience. The Sukku Coffee offered on arrival was just awesome. Perfect for the chill weather. The resort is beautifully maintained and have ***y facilities within the resort itself. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant and food services were good as well. Overall a memorable experience and I’d definitely recommend for all

Resort Location , food, hospitality, amenities everything was good. We had wonderful stay there. Specially kids had great time and felt comfortable there. Only the problem we faced is the road condition to reach the resort. Otherwise everything was super good.

Property is well located, in a valley and the gardens all around are well maintained and there is this little brook that flows by. Nice views from the balconys of the garden side cottages. These cottages require less walking from the reception/restaurant area. You need to drive 2kms off the main highway ***** an estate road. Cars with low clearance will find the drive challenging. So also the narrow road does not allow for easy two way driving. Better to leave your vehicles at the property parking area and use their Jeep for the ride to and fro. Well kept rooms and toilets and the tea/coffee tray in room is a plus. Be wary of monkeys that prowl around in the mornings. Keep your balcony doors shut. Staff are friendly. Restaurant serves interesting fare and breakfast is very good. Did not use the small but tidy swimming pool nor the indoor games floor. Overall we had a very pleasant stay over three nights. Value for money and highly recommended.

It was the first rendezvous...at Wayanad...memorable though. Location...great....it is actually at the gate of Wayanad after riding through that mesmerizing roads...just 2 to 3 kilometres away from the main road..off roading....you are in the midst of a forest...a rapid transformation though... Guests beware: The off roading is at your discretion...you could park it at the base where the hotel has a parking space and the hotel provides a pick up..however only one pick up and drop off is free....you need to reach back by 7 pm since it's in a forest zone.....If you plan to take your own vehicle on an off road trip be informed that you could land in problems if you are not used to the terrain...it's narrow and having to reverse your vehicle while off roading could test your driving skills...but still worth it because it's highly unlikely you face an oncoming vehicle requiring a reverse driving.. The staff there are quite courteos with no added frills..your privacy is given importance. Rooms are spacious...room service is commendable. Restaurant is good .food is delicious... Best way to relax from a maddening crowd.. If planning on exploring make sure to take atleast 4 days off... The pool provided could be temperature controlled though. Wish the place could plant more flowering trees. All in all it's value for money spend.... Thank you guys..

Beautiful place for family vacation. The resort is in the midst of nature with a lovely stream flowing inside the resort where you can dip your legs in the water and enjoy. Pollution free, quiet, and the staff is very Courteous. My daughter loved watching the ducks play in the pond at the end of the property, enjoyed Monkeys roaming freely in the property and they did not cause any harm or nuisance. Perfect place to visit if once needs to get away from the Mad City Life !

Below are the pros and cons Pros 1. Nice stream of water with swings and fishes 2. Neat and spacious bathroom 3. Delicious food 4. Excellent service Cons 1. Road to Resort was risky 2. Vehicles with low ground clearence cannot reach there. They will arrange jeap service for those having vehicles with low ground clearence
