SaffronStays Cliff Haven, Wayanad

Great place, great good, very good weekend getaway place for quite amd relaxing experience. Special mention about MR RKesh, facility manager and very friendly staff. This place has rooms which are spaced at a distance which really provides you with a lot of personal space and noisy neighbors

Our family of three stayed at After the Rains for five nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This place is for those who are happy to just soak in the nature, sit for hours gazing at the clouds and hills, and feel excited to spot a new bird or an insect. It is a little heaven if you are happy to accept nature with all it has to offer- including bugs and unexpected rains.
Our plantation and village walks with Paul were super fun and trying out new local cuisine everyday was a great experience. The staff- especially Arjun and Fayaz- were genuinely nice and warm.

We appreciate the attention to sustainable practices, using the local talent and resources as much as possible, and a personal touch to everything. It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Srikumar and Vishnu, the owners, whose love and dedication for this little heaven were evident in the way they are nurturing the place.

We booked this resort after looking at the website and apparently rave reviews about this place. Little did we know that this was the worst decision we made.
A day before checking in I was told that there was no wifi available in the villas we had booked! The only place they had wifi was in the lobby. Not a good thing to hear in the last minute and should have been disclosed upfront at the time of booking.
On the day of checking in, we finally made it to this place through some rough roads. The last few kilometers leading to this resort are NOT cemented. Again- not disclosed. The property manager handed us the keys to the villas and we were shocked to see big mosquitoes in the rooms and toilets. There were ants on the walls and there was a distinct smell coming from the rooms as though these rooms had not been used for weeks!
We were thoroughly disappointed- and to add to that, there was only one ceiling fan - no A/C. - Surprise!
The biking paths are so rough that there is no way you could use the bicycle without hurting your butt. The swimming pool was dirty. There was cow-dung smell coming from around the poolside.
We were here with our family and kids and we found these conditions totally inhabitable. When I spoke to the property manager and reservations team, I was told that they would take care of the mosquito problem - again, a hotel shouldn’t have to wait until someone complains about these things - they should have all been addressed before arrival to make for a comfortable check-in experience.
I wish I had booked another hotel: we checked out the same day and went back to Kozhikode. There was no refund offered. Overall, a terrible experience at this resort.

This property is highly over rated ! Rooms are called by fancy names but not even ventilated !!! Ants bed bugs all over !!! hardly any lights in the room .
To top it off when we wanted to leave they didnt even give us a refund .
PLS STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESORT ITS A SCAM.
We paid for 3 rooms and didnt get any money refunded

Located amidst coffee and betel nut plantations, this forest resort helps you forge a relationship with its natural surroundings. With enchanting views and multiple accommodation options, After the Rains gives you the comfort and privacy of a truly exclusive retreat. I miss walking around the plantations & going down towards the betel nut expanse. I stayed at Lilikoi and Pimienta and enjoyed the views they both offer. Thanks to Arjun & the rest of the team for being on their feet throughout my stay.
