FAQs
Questions guests ask
Anything else? WhatsApp us on +91 83300 66606.
How do I book?
Message us on WhatsApp or call +91 83300 66606 with your dates and number of guests. You book directly with us, so there’s no need to go through a travel site.
What are check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 4 pm and check-out is by 2 pm. Most guests arrive in the evening, so the late check-out gives you the whole next morning.
Can we eat at the resort?
Yes. Our restaurant serves Kerala and North Indian food to guests staying with us. Please order before you arrive so we can buy fresh fish and meat that day. The restaurant isn’t open to day visitors.
Can a bus reach the resort?
Yes. Every type of vehicle, including full-size buses, can drive right up, and there’s ample parking.
How cold does it get?
It’s usually cool and misty, and much colder than Kannur town, especially at night from November to February. Bring warm clothes.
When is the best time to visit?
October to February for clear, cold mornings and the sea of clouds. The monsoon (June–September) is misty, green and dramatic, though trails can be slippery.
Is there a pool for children?
Yes, a separate children’s pool, 3 ft deep. Both pools are open 7 am to 7 pm.
Can we bring pets?
Sorry, pets aren’t allowed at the resort.
Is there mobile signal and Wi-Fi?
Yes. Free Wi-Fi is available across the resort. BSNL and Vi have strong signal, Jio is average, and Airtel doesn’t work up here, so Airtel users should rely on our Wi-Fi.
How far is the beach?
Payyambalam beach is 59 km away. With a local driver who knows the roads it takes about 90 minutes; allow longer if you follow Google Maps.
