Trivella Aranamala resort - Resort hotel in Kottappadi part - Wayanad, India

Great place to stay, and small treks in the forest morning and evening ... Manish is very friendly and his photography skills , engaging with customers is awesome. Its beautiful location, surrounded by lush greenery and the forest. You can have wonderful off-road experience. It's not suitable for family with elders, as the path to reach the resort and the trek routes are rough. I Didn't like the washroom.

Worst resort service ever had. They left us stranded for hours at some pickup location even after our check in time of 2 pm. And even after that they came with just 1 Jeep for picking up 50 people's. Which only holds 8 people and takes another half an hour for 1 trip. Very bad experience and my holiday is ruined due to their unprofessional service. Please avoid this place if you don't want your holiday ruined.

Definitely a place you should visit. It's off road 7 km 3.5 km off road is cool. The food and staff there are cool and good natured Room rent is cool with everything

It was good and the waterfall place were so beautiful and enjoyed lot

I and my friend had a one night stay. The resort is in the middle of a rainforest. couldn't hear anything apart from the rain, the flowing water or the birds. the rooms were comfy like any luxury hotel room. Their service was perfect aided by receptionist Manish who was of great help to us. The trekking was great and their pool was natural just below a waterfall making the stay environmental friendly in every way. Thank you so much Trivella

Pros: Full five star for the location - see the cons below - The place/location is fantastic. Pure nature surrounding. - Have a waterfall nearby where one can bath/swim/enjoy. - Have decent trekking space around. - The caretaker Manish tries his best to support the visitors in terms of showing places around or taking pro quality pics. - This place is remote - need to a real offroading in jeep (takes arouund 30mins) to reach this place. - You will see some animals (Giant Brown Squirrel and colorful snails around the property). Cons: - Its a pure bachelor party place. Not at all a place to go with family. - Food quality is okay but tiings are not reliable. The day we reached we got dinner /barbecue after 9 PM. Given we had lunch around 12 (before we checked in here - as lunch not given the day you check in per package) - and no snacks in between - and no place / shop at around - it was a kind of hungry experience. With food on time - I would have given 5 star to this place. You really cant enjoy a place with a starving stomach. - No modern facility - this place has no electric connection. Power is provided by in house DG. When we visited, power was mostly not there from 3PM to 6PM then went out after 9am in the morning. at night light remains so you can charge your devices. - No Geyser/ room cleaniness could have been better/ no basic things expected from a hotel like towel (soap I got after request).

This property is in the best location with the best opportunity for trekking to waterfalls and Sunrise view in the morning.

Probably the worst resort. Just 1 jeep to transport 50 people from their parking location. Dont ever book rooms here.
