The Xanadu Meghadhootam

We had a three nights stay at Xanadu Meghadootham. Property is located in a gated community however it has great views. As we were a family of 4 ( two adults and 2 kids ), we had booked a " family suite " as was suggested by the reservations. The views, staff, breakfast and service were very good. However, the "family suite" is the upper floor two bedrooms with a shared bathroom of the villa unit. No private balcony for upper floor. You will have a better value for money if no-one stays downstairs as the whole downstairs and varandha is shared. Otherwise " family suite" is not qualified for a suite for the price bracket you pay for.

Xanadu Meghadhootam - the holiday home that never fails to deliver in being an elegant background to the aesthetic relishing that one hopes to bring to the foreground, along with their loved ones. The garden is beautiful adorned with all kinds of plants inviting one to soak in the warmth of the sun. The hospitality of the staff and the skilful culinary prowess of the chef add to the charm of the quaint stay. Hoping to come back soon to discover more and more idiosyncrasies of this place that place themselves fittingly in our memories with each visit.

Hi, We stayed with our cousins / family for 2 nights, the rooms we loved as we got a full villa were whole family stayed together which was very comfortable. The hotel view was excellent, we had campfire which was also memorable one. Food was not par with what we expected. It was not provided on a timely manner, as we had to wait for more than an hour from the time confirmed to the representative. It was same for Breakfast and Dinner, also the dishes served to us on those days were not cooked well and we were not satisfied. We hope the hotel management can take care of the quality of the food served and also waiting time to be reduced. Overall our stay was comfortable.

The experience in this stay was so good that I couldnt wait to give them a glowing 5 star review. Xanadu is a class apart when it comes to hospitality and location. They're so underrated! The views are to die for from the garden view rooms. The staff is extremely courteous and the food is top notch. I would recommend this place 1000 times over any other place. Very well maintained property too. Away from the city but the city is just about 20 mins from here, so pretty accessible. The road is steep to the property so if youre confident with your hilly terrain driving skills please take your vehicle or else you get plenty of cab options from main city as well.

Amazing location and fantastic service. Rooms are well equipped with all services and a best blend of homestay and personalised services. Approaching road is narrow but worth once you reach at the top. Very helpful staff and also helped us with local guide. A hidden gem on top of the hill. They have three friendly and very well behaved dogs, who would give you company as they wish. Staff can converse in English, Hindi and Tamil. Food is very simple, homely and well prepared. Don’t expect lot of variety as this is homestay but chef can cook both South Indian and north Indian variety very well. Must try masla tea and South Indian breakfast. Internet is unstable and you only get bsnl mobile network and jio sometimes. We worked from this location for few days and the environment and location was apt. Must take services of local guide Surya. He took us to some amazing trails and also made some really professional videos.

Pros 1. Awesome location high up above kodai in a bungalow setting 2. Food was homemade and excellent. Great for family with kids. 3. Rooms were clean and had good amenities. 4. Staff, Tilak and team were very courteous, helpful and took care of all our needs during the stay. 5. There is also a small play area for kids with tt and games. 6. Lots of in bred dogs who are very playful. If your kids like dogs then they will enjoy it even more. Improvements 1. Maybe a fan in bedrooms during unconventional hot summers maybe needed. 2. The road to bungalow needs to be wetted regularly, else it's very slippery to get up in a car. 3. If some renters are not dog friendly, they may have an issue as the dogs do roam around freely.
