The Hive Wayanad

1. Property location: It was a little inside from Kalpetta main road and having an own vehicle is a plus as it would be convenient for visiting nearby places. However, the property justifies itself the reason to be nestled among a good forest cover. 2. Food: Dinner and breakfast was buffet. They had good choice of options to pick from. The restaurant food charges were also reasonable. While we had complimentary breakfast option for 2 Nights. The lunch was à la carte with avg. dish price to ~300INR (2025). The dinner buffet was 750INR +taxes. Overall, the food was good with a moderate taste with precarious usage of spices, sweet. 3. Amenities: From the moment of arrival, you will be completely submerged into the greens and it is very refreshing to stay inside the property. The mornings are serene and the entire property (spans 6 acres) has jackfruit, coconut plantations around. Amole forest cover. There is a good amount of monkey friends :) 4. Services: The entire staff property is very accommodating and cheerful. They brought an additional cheer to stay. Always available on the call and ready to serve your requests. The in-house staff also arranged us Bon-fire, High-tea, Evening engagement activities. They are very courteous staff. I can say with confidence that it is because of this strong staff the property is very well managed. Eg: Clean pool, towels, garden area, well maintained walking path. Lastly, we wanted a very leisure get away and this property ideally fitted our requirement. Since we didn’t want to move around Waynad, staying in the property ideally suited our needs.

Our experience with The Hive Wayanad was nothing but exceptional. Everything was on point, from Check in, food, service, room to check out. The rooms are on steep hill from their reception/parking, but they have a shuttle cab service, which was always promptly available when requested. We checked in on a weekday during off season (20 March 2025) and hence, we were the only occupants in the property. Despite being the only guests at this huge property, we were given excellent attention for service. They also asked us if we wanted a born fire, to which we denied as we were very tired. We had some problems with their hot water, but it was promptly fixed when informed. We had booked the room with plunge pool, which we had expected to be unclean as my experience with other properties of similar kind was okayish. But to my surprise it was ultra clean, I could even see the tiles at the bottom. As the plunge pool is without roof, it tends to get some leaves etc, but they cleaned it during room service. As we were alone, they did not prepare a full fledged buffet breakfast, but specially made everything fresh for us whatever we selected from their menu, served hot on table! In short it was a delightful experience. Highly recommend this beautiful property.

"we recently had the pleasure of staying at hive wayanad, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! from the moment we arrived, we were struck by the breathtaking beauty of this stunning property. Nestled amid-st lush green forests and rolling hills, hive wayanad is a nature lover's paradise. The moment we stepped into our wood cottage, we were enchanted by its cozy charm and warm ambiance. The balcony offered a mesmerizing view of the surrounding forest and hills, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We spent hours sipping tea, reading books, and simply soaking in the tranquility of our surroundings. But what truly made our stay special was the exceptional service provided by the staff. Aswin, lal krishna, anisha, and sooraj were some of the team members who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness. From arranging cooking demonstrations to providing insider tips on local attractions, they were always available to help. In short, our stay at hive wayanad was nothing short of magical. With its stunning natural beauty, exceptional service, and warm hospitality, this property has earned a special place in our hearts. We can't wait to go back and experience it all again"

Highlights :- 1.Pleasant climate and a comfortable stay—even in April! 2.Excellent room service that made us feel at home. 3.Delicious food, with breakfast being a real standout. 4.Beautiful infinity pool and cozy campfire experience. 5.Great recreational options: a scenic viewpoint, cycles, chess, carroms, and more. 6.Friendly and helpful staff throughout our stay. Areas to Improve: 1.If you're traveling from Kalpetta, beware: Google Maps might suggest a wrong route that leads to a dead end. A heads-up or signage would help. 2.The infinity pool could be more spacious, and a separate children’s section would be great. 3.The TV setup could use an upgrade—larger screen and access to Netflix/Hotstar would enhance the in-room entertainment.

The hive is located very close to kalpetta and it’s very easy to access the property from the city property is well maintained with lot of importance over keeping its natural beauty with a mix of giving comfort to its guests. Had a wonderful time with my family, highlight being the access to the nature and climate of waynad. Pool space with restaurant is a plus for visitors where you have quick access to room service as well overall it was a peaceful gate away destination

The overall stay was good. The ambience of the place is nice. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The service support is also great. The negatives are the food pricing in the restaurant inside the The Hive Wayanad. It's highly inflated compared to the rates outside. Also, the price asked for an extra bed per night was too costly. I request the team to reconsider such prices

Thank you for the awesome experience and much needed peace and break from my routine life. The place is well mantained, superb staff, serene and with a v good view. Perfect stay for those looking forward to cut off from the daily hustle and those who want to stay and enjoy the property and its eminities.

Nice calm and serene environment, cozy rooms and neat and clean premise. Not too many options in food, neither one finds options nearby.
