Vacanze Thekkady

I’ve travelled quite a bit, but I honestly haven’t stayed at a place that felt as much like home as 1924 Clock House. ❤️ The views are absolutely spectacular, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the service is in a class of its own. The resort is very clean and well maintained. There’s something really special about this place that goes beyond just the property itself, it’s the warmth and care that make you feel so at home. Also loved the location! It was not just quiet and secluded, but also quite close to many tourist spots. One of those places you leave with lovely memories of and wish you could stay a little longer. Highly recommend!

The most beautiful resort! Staff was wonderful and the views were amazing! Rooms were big and so nice! Very tasty and big breakfast.

The location and views are undoubtedly the hotel’s strongest points — the scenery is magnificent and the setting is beautiful. Unfortunately, the hotel itself did not live up to what we expected for the price. We paid around £280 per night for 3 nights, which was over ₹100,000, and for that price the rooms and general finish felt very dated and poorly maintained. The furniture was old, the flooring was damaged in places, and some of the switches and fittings were visibly coming apart. Housekeeping was also disappointing. We left our wet towels in the bathtub to be replaced, but they were simply taken away and not properly replenished. The food was probably the biggest disappointment. The traditional Indian dishes were generally fine, but the continental options were very poor and often quite strange. Even the coffee appeared to be made from a sachet mixed with hot water rather than from an actual coffee machine. We had also paid for the dinner package, yet even basic fizzy drinks such as 7Up were not included. We decided to leave one night early and gave the hotel two days’ notice, but they were unwilling to refund the unused night. Given the overall standard and the amount we had paid, this was particularly disappointing Staff were pleasant and service was good but nothing compensated for the outdated conditions, poor housekeeping and disappointing food.

We liked the property very much. The rooms were clean and amenities were well provided. The management kept the property and landscape in immaculate condition. The food was well done. We stayed there for four nights and everything went well.
