Crystal Kuruva Nature Resort & Spa

Great experience! The location is definitely off grid but in a very pristine and amazing scenery so it’s definitely worth it! The staff was very kind and helped me with everything I needed to! Especially, they provided me a driver that followed me during my whole stay! He was amazing! Always helpful, organized and on time, willing to also help me with the organization of the sightseeings and not also the driving itself. His name is Jamsheer and I highly recommend him! He was definitely an added value to my stay making sure everything was smooth and enjoyable.

LIKED EVERYTHING TBH!

VIBE OF THE AREA , GREENS, O2

The most beautiful place i have been to

Some staff were struggling with Communication. They neither understood English nor Hindi.. Also many food items in the menu were not available

Honestly I loved it first but the way this guy jamal ( chef or restaurant owner ) behaved , evrything went frm 10 to 0

Weird staff , bad communication.. no empathy towards animals ...

Natural ambience

Good

The location of the resort and the rooms

Our stay at Crystal Kuruva was very comfortable. The staff were incredibly lovely, welcoming, and friendly, making us feel at home throughout our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the food was absolutely delicious.We also tried the massage and spa, which was a wonderful and relaxing experience. Overall, we had a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Crystal Kuruva to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Location, specially the paddy field view, the hit on the paddy field, and tea shop. Worth a visit.

Suggestion for improvement : Temperature controlled pools should be implemented

The Food is the only thing that was good at the property.

We had a very disappointing experience at Crystal Kurava during our honeymoon. We booked this property specifically because the listing on Booking.com advertised a jacuzzi. However, upon arrival, we were informed that the jacuzzi was not working. If the facility is unavailable, it should not be featured in the property's photos and advertisements, as this is misleading for guests. We paid approximately ₹13,000 for a single night and were further disappointed to discover that the bathroom drainage was clogged. Safety was another concern. While using the bicycles provided on the property, we encountered a snake near the cycle stand. When we informed the manager, we were told that it was a small snake and that it is normal to find snakes around the property. Guests should be aware that snake sightings may occur on the premises. We also spent considerable time and money traveling from Vythiri, only to find that the property is located quite far from the main area and did not deliver the experience we expected. My advice to future guests is to carefully check the property's location and amenities before booking. Unfortunately, our experience did not match the expectations set by the listing and reviews. PS - Watch out for snakes

Hospitality and food was good

Road to reach the property

The ambiance was amazing, making it feel like a true forest getaway. The staff were wonderfully polite and welcoming.

Nothing specific.

Surrounding is very good

Clamig is nt good

Food menu very imited, for lunch and dinner

Need to improve food menu, feel all the staff are very good and hospitality, especially the 2 girls in resturant are very kind and genie service , also non veg menu need to improve for sounth indians , the indore play are must be improve , all old borads , need to replace , as well the TV use by other very lound and too much disturbing our privicay , feel cant relax over there , need to remove or sound must be permanent mute , also our suggestion to keep some histrionics Waynadu documentry or nature videos of kerala , it makes big improvement to keep calm and feel relax 🤤

Prachtig hotel met fantastisch lief personeel. Mooi en verzorgd zwembad. Heel lekker gegeten, diner en ontbijt. De thee in de namiddag is heerlijk en met prachtig uitzicht. Familiekamer bestaande uit 2 accommodaties is echt top voor een gezin.

Kleine verbeteringen in de badkamer zoals eens een nieuwe wc-bril. Langere openingsuren voor het zwembad. Maar dit zijn details, het was er geweldig!

Breakfast was good. The accommodation was very quite/neat/and clean. The staffs are very good. The staffs are very polite attend to our request immediately. The hospitality was very good.

for DINNER there is no other option than the restuarant in the hotel. At least the accommodation should consider the qualtiy and the price

Entire resort is well developed

They should have more options to there current menu. We stayed for a nights but had same morning breakfast menu

What is not to like about this place? From start to finish I felt taken care of. The staff are excellent, Keralan hospitality at its finest. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. The infinity pool in the green setting was just splendid. I had several massages during my stay and it added a whole layer of relaxation to my stay.

If I really have to find something to say that can be improved: Personally, I would have preferred more comfortable furniture on the balcony and at the pool. Now it’s traditional wooden furniture, which is beautiful but not comfortable for longer periods of lounging.

The property is in a serene, picturesque location. The room was spacious.

The geyser capacity is very less for whatever reasons.

The nature, the calm, the staff!

Nothing to complain about

Location and hospitality was overall ok.

House Keeping staff stolen our Milton Water bottle during room cleaning. And there is no response from the resort till date after reporting for the incident. Although its not a costly item however was a sovenier received from a prestige organization which meant a lot to us.

Location, staff and hospitality

It’s not about not liking, wish there was 24 hour hot water facilities. I was told the work was being done. So that would be a good step up. That’s all

Restful, good beds and rooms. The walk in the morning in the forest was a real highlight. Good buffets to meals with good variety

If you're looking for a relaxed experience amidst nature, Crystal Kuruva is the place to be. Surrounded by lush forests and paddy fields and beautifully landscaped inside the resort is a sight for the sore eyes. The rooms are spacious with great amenities and the staff is super friendly. There's a games room to keep kids busy and a few onsite activities like cycling if you're visiting with family. Overall a great family friendly resort.

Staff was very friendly and helpful but service was a tad slow at times. We had to make multiple calls for housekeeping and room service

The staff, they are operating as a dream team The location, nature for real Cottages, comfy and well proportioned Spa, highly recommend it

Laundry service was missing

Everything was beautiful, Excellent Hospitality

Nothing Much to Say

Loved my stay at this resort — peaceful, surrounded by greenery, and very relaxing. The facilities were great, and everything was clean and well maintained, including the room. A perfect place to unwind. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing stay — highly recommended.

Food was average.

Place is good .... good distance between cottages, nice and big rooms. Comfortable beds.

Food is not that great. Expected good kerala cuisine but disappointed to see north indian dishes and not so great option for kerala dishes. Service was very slow, improved after informing about that.

Piece full atmosphere, love to visit again.

Everything about this place is top notch. The serene location surrounded by forest, the stepped layout, spacious cottages, super clean, tasty food, nice spa and dedicated friendly staff young smiling and helpful.

Nothing

I love the naturally ambience and the stay between trees

Travel to the resort

The rooms are big. There are no views from the property. It's near a paddy field and a forest.

Nothing in particular. It didn't seem like a 5-star resort. The staff made us wait in the car until they received the reservation confirmation from booking.com, despite showing them the confirmation on my phone. For a new property, it seems a bit worn out.

We had a great time at Crystal Kuruva The resort is very comfortable, food is absolutely delicious. We did the complimentary morning walk in the forest and the guide was super kind and showed us nice things we loved it. We also did an evening tour in a jeep on roads nearby and managed to spot elephants and deers, we were very happy. And we also did a Ayurvedic massage which was very nice. And without forgetting Abdul, an amazing driver we had to travel around during the 4 days we stayed. Thank you to everyone for this perfect moment

Some more & more comfortable pool chairs would be welcomed

People who managed were great. The food was tasty and the room was very comfortable.

Location, staff, activities, cottage, breakfast.

Property, food, polite staff

Great place to relax and unwind. Extremely helpful and welcoming staff with their hospitality. The property is well maintained and beautifully designed. The location is perfect and have got many things to do within the property. The rooms are kept quiet clean and beautiful. Though dinner and lunch buffet was not available during our stay, the do take pre-order and ensure to deliver great food based on our need from wide choice of menu. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing getaway.

Nothing as such

The staff was warm and hospitable. The food was good. The location is picturesque and nestled in wilderness.

Slightly off the beatan track bordering Karnataka. A slight disagreement on issuance of a GST invoice. Later sorted after stressing on have the invoice with GST

Great location in the middle of the forest. The rooms were spacious, and the team at the property was very helpful. As we stayed during a weekday, we felt the price was good value for money. They organised a nature walk in the morning, which was very serene. The breakfast was good. The only point that could be improved would be the lunch and dinner menu for a property of this scale and rating. Best wishes to the team. Will come back again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Chrystal Kuruva Nature, and it truly exceeded my expectations for eco-tourism. This fantastic place allowed me to recharge and reconnect with nature. The guided morning walk was a highlight, immersing me in the stunning surroundings and deepening my appreciation for the local ecosystem. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Great cozy big room with nice balcony. Hospitality of the statt is great. Great food.

No hot water in the shower!

Facilities were amazing, staff were lovely and the location is stunning. Tea shop afternoon tea and snacks a great touch.

Shower hot water ran out quite quickly.

The property, food, staff and the service

Perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself. We loved all the facilities. The staff was superb. Extra kind people. We had an amazing time there. We 100% recommend the morning walk. We'd love to come back.

I would say, the best part is the hospitality. I don’t want to say any name in particular because I may miss someone, which I don’t want to. Well connected with the nature, with good facilities. Recommending for those who wanted to stay peacefully from busy life, it's a best place then with good facilities, and food. You should stay min 2-3 days to enjoy the place. We got chance to listen to live music band, which is occasionally. They have a complementary tea & snack bar near to paddy field which was a lovely, and reminds me the old good times. Very good Wi-Fi it's all around the property with good speed. We stayed at pool villa which was a nice option. Special thanks to the Front Office, House Keeping, Food and Beverage team.

The water heater capacity was low since it lasts for 30 sec hardly which we couldn't manage since the climate was cold.

the excellent staff and service . Location and the vibe of the place is awesome .

Nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of Wayanad’s landscape, Crystal Kuruva is an amazing midsize resort, especially for those who are looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway. It’s a perfect escape to tranquillity from the hustle and bustle of city life. It’s surrounded by a vast, open, lush green paddy field on one side and a coffee and rubber plantation on the other. The rooms are quite large and spacious, clean, modern, and beautifully built on the stilts, giving breathtaking views of the picturesque surroundings from the balcony. The rooms offer great privacy, given the distance between the two rooms and the layout of the property as a whole. The vast open spaces, plenty of tree cover, and well-maintained garden all around add to the aesthetics of the resort. It was an amazing experience to wake up in the morning to the chirping and cooing of the birds. The hospitality of the resort staff is topnotch across all departments, be it the front desk, the restaurant staff, the housekeeping team, or the rest of the support staff. Right from the moment we reached till our departure, we were looked after extremely well. They were quick to address even the smallest of concerns almost immediately. What set them apart from the several other resorts we had stayed at in the past was the personalised attention they extended to us throughout our stay. Their GM appeared hands-on, very involved, and took personal interest in liaising with all the guests, which in turn certainly has rubbed off on the entire resort staff. A clear example of leading from the front. Given the limited number of rooms and the guests, they have a constraint in offering a buffet. But the à la carte option gives you ample variety and choice of food. They were very flexible in customising the food options to our taste and requirements. Every meal we had was simply amazing.

Nothing we could think of.

loved everything about the property (location, rooms, service) and very professional staff.

Located in a very harmonious area admist the forest. Loved the view from our room & we had good experience with the safari & guided walk. Tour was very nice. Overall it was beautiful. Thank you so much Crystal Kuruva. We will be coming back!!!

I felt, food can be improved a little bit more. I liked it, but sometimes it's ok ok. Good service and concerned staffs. Thank you

I love the ambiance of the property ,very peaceful atmosphere,well professional staffs and their hospitality must be appreciated ,food was delicious.

Everything from location to staff was amazing

There was nothing not to like except the food. It could be improved

beautiful surroundings and beutifully designed resort.

Environment, cleanliness , comfort , food , pool .

Mattress and cover was not premium bit hard . Door locks like bathroom and back side doors was not working , Hot water is not up to the mark.

Keeping in mind that the resort is relatively inland from roads, the food options are limited but all the food is extremely delicious. We could not get enough of the piping-hot coffee served during our stay.

Provisions for hot water could be better but it does not hinder your stay in any way.

The hospitality was heart whelming, staff were friendly, rooms were clean and hygiene had a wonderful time would suggest everyone to visit

A great place to spend vacation, great pool and play area..the only flaw is irregular hot water.. But overall an amazing place... It would be best if it had a heated pool
