The best property in Thekkady. I stayed there for 2 nights, Its near to the main market of Thekkady, Very near to the booking counter and parking of the Periyar Forest Boating. Also veery near to the Gov Approved show point of Khathakali and Kalaripayattu. I booked 2 rooms, 1 of them was good other was a bit old and needs lots of maintenance, I wont say much as I have shown the pictures to the front desk people. They have all the modern basic amenities we may need in a room. They gave me a good offer for food, the quality of the food is okay and the spread too is resonable. Don't expect too many options during the off seasons but whatever they give is good enough. The pool and the pool guy is good and helpful. the pool was clean. They have good parking space as well. Kids area is also good. Service was also wonderful and quick I thank for making our stay comfortable and happy.

Thekkady (Kerala side) is best known for its forest. There is nothing else to do other than go to the forest, trek, go to the lake ride, and forest forest forest. Considering that life revolves around the forest, CM Thekkady offers decent rooms and safe food for the stay. On the flip side, Basically the resort is smaller than other typical CM resorts, and also it has a laid back look about it. There is nothing much to do at the resort, all the happy hub and inside resort activities are a waste of time...dont even try it. Since forest life ends by 5 PM, it is actually boring sitting at the resort with nothing much to do. The resort offers some good packages to go in an around, but again it is a tie up with some tour agent who has a pamphlet of what all he can offer. Other than Gavi forest, others are not worth spending time. You may as well hunt for a bargain at the numerous safari jeep shops that abound the place The treks and tours are organized by Periyar wildlife board and they are good. The resort doesn't offer any treks or organized tours. This is basically like a hotel where you park your luggage and spend time looking for people to get your itinerary done. The rooms are decent but doesn't give you that nice feeling. There is a feeling of something missing which you cant point to anything in particular. May be the small size of the rooms, or the resort itself having aged..I really dont know CM service levels were exceptional, but there is only so much you can do with an old horse.

Our overall experience was nice. Warm welcome with lady staff and the check in procedure are very fast. The location was nice near to town and periyar park. Food options are less food preparation time take to long. Room are ok but need to be improve the cleanses. We enjoyed our stay in thekkady. Maybe visit again.

In this staff of club Mahindra is very good. Food is also very good…………. Ambience of resort is good …….…. Near club markert places and good…….…. restaurants are also available …….. …… And if you coming with kids staff is carrying their…………….

The weather was good. Also in the evening it was raining. Visited the Periyar Widlife Sanctuary. We had to book online one day before the tickets for boating. Also we visited the widlifife jungle inside and seen some animals. Did Spices shopping and clothes shopping.
