Escape to Paradise: Vayalada's Breathtaking Views Await You!
Escape to Paradise: Vayalada - A Review That's Honestly, A Bit All Over the Place (But You Need to Read This!)
Okay, so you're thinking about escaping to Vayalada, huh? Good choice. Seriously. But before you dive headfirst into booking, let me, your intrepid (and sometimes slightly messy) reviewer, break down the good, the not-so-good, and the absolutely breathtaking about this place. This isn't your average, polished hotel review. This is real life. Buckle up.
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Climb (and the Promise)
Right, the first thing: getting there. Vayalada's got a certain "hidden paradise" vibe. That does mean some winding roads. Now, I’m not saying it’s a death trap, but if you’re prone to carsickness, pack those ginger chews. Let's be real, getting to breathtaking views usually involves some effort.
Now, accessibility. This is where things get a little… nuanced. Wheelchair accessibility? I'd say, proceed with caution. The grounds, though beautiful, are not flat. They’re designed to be integrated with nature, but that might mean some challenges. I'm not sure the details, so it's best to contact them directly to get the full details, but I get the impression that is not an ideal option. They have facilities for disabled guests but do check before you book.
Internet, Oh Internet! (Or, the Great Wi-Fi Quest)
Okay, let's talk internet. Because, let's be honest, in the modern age, it's a need, not a luxury. They boast Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Wi-Fi in public areas. And, bless their hearts, they also have Internet [LAN] and just plain Internet. Which usually means they’ve got the basics, but the mountain views might be even more amazing than the speeds, from my personal experience. Okay, I lied, I’m always searching for a good connection, let me put it this way, it's not going to be a place to do major video conference and all the internet services are there, it's more of a good place to disconnect…
The Stuff of Dreams: Relaxation & Rejuvenation (and Maybe a Little Judgement?)
Alright, the fun stuff. This is where Vayalada really shines. You've got a Pool with a View – and believe me, “view” is an understatement. Seriously, you could spend your entire vacation just staring out at the vista, and I wouldn’t judge you one bit. Plus, there's a regular swimming pool for those who are less into the cliffside views.
Then there's the Spa. Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom. Okay, now we're talking. I didn't get to try everything (because, you know, reviewing. #toughlife), but the massage was just… chef's kiss. Seriously, I walked in a stressed-out mess and walked out a relaxed blob. The Body scrub and Body wrap are tempting, but if you're like me and afraid of the feeling of things smearing all onto you, maybe stick with the massage.
I will admit, I didn't use the Fitness center (I was too busy relaxing. Sue me!). But the idea is there, and for those of you who are impressively disciplined, congrats.
The Food Game: From Buffet Bonanza to Late-Night Snacks (and the Quest for the Perfect Chai)
Food, glorious food! Vayalada does not disappoint on this front. Okay, the Breakfast [buffet] is pretty solid. Plenty of options. I personally hunted for some of the regional foods. They also do a Breakfast takeaway service because, let's be honest, sometimes you just want to eat in your PJs. There's Coffee/tea in restaurant, a Coffee shop and a Poolside bar, for those quick snacks. Asian breakfast and Asian cuisine in restaurant are also options.
I did have an amazing Soup in restaurant one night. Warm, comforting, perfect. They also have Restaurants with A la carte in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant options and sometimes Western cuisine in restaurant. And here's something I really appreciated: Room service [24-hour]. Because jet lag is a real thing, and sometimes you just need a burger at 3 am.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe (and maybe a little OCD?)
Okay, let's get serious for a second. With everything going on in the world, safety is important. And Vayalada seems to understand that. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, Rooms sanitized between stays, and a Safe dining setup. All the good stuff. They also have Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, and Security [24-hour]. So, you can relax knowing that they're taking it seriously. They also have Hygiene certification, which does bring some reassurance.
Rooms: Your Personal Paradise (or the Quest for the Perfect Pillow)
Okay, the rooms. They are nice. They're designed to be comfortable. Air conditioning, Coffee/tea maker, a Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Mini bar, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, and, a Shower. They also have Air conditioning in public area, Complimentary tea, and Daily housekeeping…
Mine had this huge window that opened up. Huge. And the view… ugh. I would spend hours just staring. They also have Additional toilet which is a major plus, an Alarm clock is good, Bathrobes is a nice touch, and I did appreciate the Bathtub.
Things To Do: Beyond the Pool (or, the Art of Doing Nothing)
So, besides staring at the view (which is a legitimate activity, by the way), what else is there to do? Well, they have Baby sitting services.
Getting Around: The Logistics of Leisure
They've got you covered with Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site], so you don't have to worry about parking. They also offer Taxi service, and Airport transfer.
The Bottom Line (and Why You Should Book - NOW!)
Okay, despite my ramblings, Vayalada is pretty darn special. It's the kind of place where you can truly escape. Yes, it's got its quirks. Yes, getting there might require some work. But trust me, the views, the relaxation, and the overall vibe are worth it.

Escape to Paradise: Real de Chapala & Ajijic, Mexico - Your Dream Vacation Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on my potentially disastrous, probably delightful, definitely messy journey to Vayalada View Point Resort in Thamarassery, India. Think less "perfect Insta-grid" and more "relatable travel chaos," alright? Here we go… or, ya know, here I go…
Day 1: The Arrival & Cliffside Dreams (or, the fight with the auto-rickshaw driver)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Wake up with a jolt. Realized I haven’t packed. Panic mode initiated. Scrambled to throw everything in a suitcase – half clean clothes, questionable snacks (because, travel), and a book I swear I'll read this time. Note to self: Learn to pack the night before. Or, you know, at least a few hours.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Flight delayed. Classic. Spent an hour people-watching at the airport, silently judging everyone's footwear. Found a surprisingly excellent chai at a tiny stall. This is a good omen, right? RIGHT?!
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Finally land in Kozhikode. The heat hits you like a wall. It's BEAUTIFUL, but also: hot. Scramble for an auto-rickshaw. This is where the adventure truly begins. This driver… this driver. We haggled. We argued. I swear he tried to charge me triple the price. Finally, after some good-natured (on my part) bartering, we agreed on a price. Victory! Or, at least, a temporary cease-fire.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Arrived at the resort! Breathtaking. Seriously, pictures do not do it justice. The view from the top? Jaw-dropping. Felt a pang of… something. Nostalgia? Maybe for a life I haven't lived yet. The air smells of cardamom and something…woodsy. The resort staff greeted me with a genuine smile and a refreshing welcome drink. I’m already obsessed.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Check-in. The room is… simple. And honestly? That's a good thing. Makes me feel like I won't be judged for leaving my "messy human" footprint everywhere. The view from the balcony? Unbelievable!
- Evening (6:00 PM): Sunset. Holy mother of all sunsets. Watched the sun melt into the hills from the cliffside. Completely speechless. Swore I’d seen the most beautiful sunset of my life here. Probably true.
- Evening (7:30 PM): Dinner at the resort's restaurant. Ordered the local Kerala special, not sure what it was but it was INCREDIBLE. There was a slight mishap with the cutlery. I dropped a spoon. Twice. The staff chuckled. The messiness continues, I guess? Also, the waiter had the kindest eyes. I think I fell in love. Just a tiny bit.
- Night (9:00 PM): Stargazing. Lay on the grass, staring at the sky. The stars were so bright I felt as if I could reach out and touch them. Decided I'm definitely going to stay here forever. Or at least, until tomorrow.
- Night (10:00 PM): Bed. Completely exhausted, and utterly content. Ready for more adventures!
Day 2: Hiking, Humility, and Hammocks (and maybe a little existential crisis)
- Morning (7:00 AM): Woke up with the sunrise. The light! The air! Honestly, this place is a freaking mood. Coffee on the veranda.
- Morning (8:00 AM): Hike! I’m… not a hiker. Let's say I'm more of a "gentle wanderer." The trek up the trails to the peak was tough. Sweating, panting, and questioning my life choices, I kept tripping over rocks and questioning how anyone could walk on the trails, especially since they looked like they were in the middle of the jungle. But the view from the top (again!) was worth it. The view was also a reminder that sometimes, the hardest climbs lead to the most glorious views. I took a lot of photos of the same view, but they didn't do it justice.
- Morning (11:00 AM): Waterfall visit! Found a waterfall that was a refreshing reward after the hike. Spent an hour swimming in the cool water. The feeling of the water was amazing.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch. Back at the resort and devoured the lunch I ordered.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Hammock time! Found a hammock overlooking the valley and proceeded to do absolutely nothing. And it was glorious. The gentle sway of the hammock, the breeze, the sounds of birdsong. Actually, I fell asleep. Which is fine. Nap time is an essential part of my travel itinerary.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Cultural immersion. Visited the local market. Bought a ridiculous hat. Got completely lost. But the sounds, smells, and vibrant chaos of the market were intoxicating. I felt like I came alive.
- Evening (6:00 PM): More sunset. Even more breathtaking than the previous day. Is this even real life? Am I dreaming? Am I going to forget?
- Evening (8:00 PM): Dinner and a game of cards. Lost miserably. But hey, at least I tried.
- Night (9:00 PM): Deep thoughts. Sat on the balcony, staring at the stars, feeling a strange mix of peace and melancholy. All the people I love, all the things I want to do… the universe is vast. What is the meaning of it all? Maybe a good question to ponder for a few more hours.
Day 3: Farewell Feast (and a dash of regret)
- Morning (7:00 AM): Last sunrise. Almost cried. It's just starting to feel like home.
- Morning (8:00 AM): Farewell breakfast. Ate ALL the food. Ordered EVERYTHING on the menu. The chef gave me a knowing look. My waistline is thanking the resort for its hospitality during my visit!
- Morning (9:00 AM): Packed. This time, I was slightly more organized. Slightly.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Final stroll around the resort. Imprinted as much in my mind as possible. I really didn't want to leave. The staff was amazing. This place is magic.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Check-out. Saying goodbye to the staff felt like saying goodbye to my friends. The driver who waited outside was less haggly than the previous one.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Back to reality (flight). Filled out the paperwork with great care. Regret, it creeps up on you, right?
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Arrive at the airport. Flight delayed. Again.
- Evening (5:00 PM): Watching the plane.
Well, there you have it. My Vayalada View Point Resort adventure. Would I go back? Absolutely, in a heartbeat. The messiness, the imperfections, the moments of pure bliss… that's what makes it an experience. And, hey, I survived! With a heart full of memories, a camera full of photos (and, probably, a few extra pounds). Until next time, Vayalada! You beautiful, slightly chaotic, completely unforgettable place.
