Unbelievable Wayanad Zostel Plus: Your Dream Kerala Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from Unbelievable Wayanad Zostel Plus, and let me tell you, the title is not lying. This place…whew, I'm still digesting it. Let's break it down, shall we? And trust me, this won't be your vanilla travel blog… it's gonna get real.
First Impressions: The Accessibility Gauntlet (or, Can a Wheelchair Actually Get Around?)
So, accessibility is crucial, right? Especially when you're promising an "unbelievable" escape. And… well, Unbelievable Wayanad Zostel Plus tries. The elevator helps, obviously. But navigating the uneven, verdant (read: jungle-y) grounds…that's gonna be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. The website kinda downplays this, which, honestly, felt a little misleading. They do have "Facilities for disabled guests," but I'd highly recommend contacting them specifically before booking if this is a priority. I witnessed one person struggling to get through a narrow dining hall and the waitstaff were swamped; I'd guess that's not unique to the kitchen. It's not a deal-breaker, but it’s something to be really aware of. However, they do have a long ramp or two around the premises to overcome various steps.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Like a Germaphobe's Dream (Mostly)
Okay, deep breaths. I love clean, and Zostel Plus gets points here. "Anti-viral cleaning products"? Check. "Rooms sanitized between stays"? Double check. The constant wafting of sanitiser felt a little, uh, intense at times, like I was living in a hospital. I was able to opt out of daily room sanitisation, which was a relief! But hey, I'd rather feel safe than sniff mold, right? They even have "Hygiene certification" plastered everywhere. I saw the staff disinfecting everything after every use. They're taking things seriously, perhaps too seriously, but who can complain?
The Bliss Factor: Relaxation is Key, But…
This is where they really shine. "Pool with view"? Oh honey, more like a stunning pool with a view. I spent hours in that thing, just staring out at the impossibly green landscape. Pure. Bliss. They've got a sauna, a steam room, and a spa! I confess, I indulged. Did I get a body scrub? You bet your bottom dollar. Did I emerge smelling of exotic herbs and utter relaxation? Indeed I did. The massage was heavenly. I swear, for a moment, I thought I’d levitated. The spa itself had a relaxed, quiet atmosphere.
Now, before you get too excited, the "Fitness center" is, let's say, modest. It's got the basics, but don't expect a fully equipped gym. But let's be honest, with that pool and those rolling hills, you should be outside anyway.
Food! Glorious Food! (And Maybe a Few Hiccups)
Okay, this is where the story gets interesting. The food… mixed bag, folks. The "Asian breakfast" was surprisingly good. Fresh. Flavorful. The chef clearly knows what’s up. The "Western breakfast," however… felt a little… bland. It was hard to be excited for scrambled eggs with no flavor. And it did get a little repetitive. The upside? Loads of "restaurants" to choose from, and the "Poolside bar" is definitely a highlight. The snack bar? Adequate. And they did follow "Safe dining setup" rules.
I had a moment. I was trying breakfast. And I swear I saw a waiter drop two items while coming to my table. He looked visibly upset at this. The items looked like they were fresh, so I decided to get the item, even though I saw it fall. It looked as if he was being overworked. I was glad to see the other staff, which was much like a good, solid working family. But the breakfast was decent, though it was mostly what I was expecting. I thought the overall experience was pretty fair, despite the flaws.
The Room: Home Away From Home (With a Few Quirks)
My room was… well, it was vast. The "Extra long bed" was a definite plus. "Blackout curtains"? Thank you, sweet heavens. "Free Wi-Fi"? Yes, please! The bathroom phone was… well, it was just there. A bit random, but okay. The "Reading light" was perfect for late-night bookworms. The "Slippers"? Nice touch. Minor quibbles: the "Air conditioning" could've been a little stronger, and the decor was… eclectic. Think "rustic chic" meets "a few too many throw pillows." But hey, I’m not complaining!
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
This is where Zostel Plus goes above and beyond. "Daily housekeeping"? Check. "Daily disinfection in common areas"? You betcha. "Concierge"? Helpful and friendly (seriously, those guys are rockstars). "Luggage storage"? More than ample. The "Food delivery" option was a godsend after a long day of exploring. The "Car park [free of charge]"? Always a plus. Oh, and the "Bottle of water" in the room? Small things that really make a difference.
Things to Do: Adrenaline Rush or Chillaxing Retreat?
Wayanad is stunning. The hotel is situated nicely, so you do get some nice views of the surrounding areas. They offered plenty of "Things to do," like "Hiking," and "Visiting tea plantations". They did a pretty good job in helping set up trips. It’s ideal for people who like to travel and see the sites.
The Quirks and the Imperfections:
Here’s the deal: Zostel Plus isn’t perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect hotel! But that's part of its charm. There were a few minor hiccups. The Internet sometimes fizzled, and the "Coffee/tea in the restaurant" was not always stellar. I think this is where the "Hotel chain" starts to show. It feels as if the company is still learning how to be the best version of itself. The "CCTV outside property" means every move you make is watched. And the "Doctor/nurse on call" seems a bit too much. The same could be said for the amount of safety and security measures. It was a little too over the top.
So, Would I Go Back?
Absolutely. Despite the imperfections (and the slightly overwhelming safety measures), Unbelievable Wayanad Zostel Plus is a fantastic escape. The views, the pool, the spa, the overall vibe… it's all just incredibly relaxing. It's a place where you can genuinely unplug, unwind, and soak up the beauty of Kerala. And let's be real, sometimes, that’s all you need.
The Catch?
Don’t go expecting absolute perfection. Go with an open mind. Embrace the quirks. And most importantly, prepare to be utterly blissed out.

Hongik University 3-Min Walk! Stunning 4-Bed Seoul Haven (Kitchen!)
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't just some cookie-cutter itinerary. This is WAYANAD, BABYYYY! And trust me, after battling the Delhi metro (a story for another time…shudders), I needed this. This is my escape to Zostel Plus Wayanad, and here's how I think it's going down, though honestly, knowing me, it'll probably be a glorious clusterf*ck of wrong turns, forgotten sunscreen, and epic sunsets.
DAY 1: Arrival & "OMG, I'm in a Jungle!" Feels.
- Morning (ish… I'm not a morning person): Land in Kozhikode (CCJ) airport. Okay, so the flight was delayed. Classic. Which meant I got to spend an extra hour wrestling with my carry-on at the baggage carousel. Victory! (sort of). Grab a pre-booked taxi to Zostel Plus Wayanad. Expect a very long drive, but the scenery is supposed to be insane. Pray for no car sickness. (Fingers crossed!)
- Lunch (whenever I find food): Arrive at Zostel. Check-in. Probably marvel at the view because apparently, it's a stunner. Find the restaurant. Eat whatever I can get my hands on because I'm ravenous. Probably order way too much and regret it later. But hey, vacation calories don't count, right?
- Afternoon: The Jungle Begins! Settle in. Explore the hostel. Take a deep breath and… OH. MY. GAWD. It's really in the jungle. Like, actual trees, birds chirping, and maybe, just maybe, a sneaky monkey eyeing my banana. (Which I'm definitely eating later).
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Kick back. Meet some other travelers. Maybe play some cards, or… just sit there and stare at the view. Seriously, just soak it in. (If the WiFi works, which I'm betting it won't, I'll try posting a photo that will probably not do it justice)
- Dinner: Whatever they're serving. Hopefully, something spicy. Pray for no tummy rumbles.
- Night: Stargazing! Because away from city lights, this is supposed to be incredible. Or… if I'm too lazy, I'll just fall asleep with the jungle sounds as my lullaby.
DAY 2: Waterfalls & "I Think I Saw Bigfoot" Adventures
- Morning (again, using the term loosely): Probably wake up late, regretting last night's card game. Then, after a quick breakfast of coffee and probably the last roti, it's time for…
- Morning Adventure: Soochipara Falls! This is the plan. It's supposed to be a trek through the forest to reach a waterfall. I'm thinking it's going to be beautiful and, well, probably crowded. The trek itself? Hopefully, I don't die. I'm not exactly known for my hiking prowess. Pack water, sunscreen, and a healthy dose of self-doubt.
- Afternoon: Actually, the waterfall was AMAZING! It was more challenging than I anticipated; I almost lost my footing a few times. I also think I saw a flash of something hairy in the trees… Just kidding… (maybe). Grab some lunch near the falls (hopefully delicious).
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Edakkal Cave Exploration: This is the plan. Rock climbing time! (I kid) Supposedly full of ancient carvings! I wonder if the carvings are as old as the time I tripped the other day. The hike to the cave is going to probably be pretty hard. The pictures look stunning though. More climbing. sigh
- Dinner & Night: Return to the hostel beat up and tired. But fulfilled. Share another round of drinks with the other traveler.
DAY 3: Tea Estates & "I’m Officially in Love with Wayanad" Epiphany
- Morning: (Woken up early, but that's what happens when you are a light sleep -_-). Breakfast at the hostel. Get the "insta-ready" photos!
- Mid-morning: Tea Estate tour! Wayanad is famous for its tea, and you can't go to a tea-growing region and not see the tea. I'm picturing myself wandering through endless green hills, sipping freshly brewed tea, and feeling utterly serene. (Reality may involve sweating profusely and being swarmed by insects, but hey, it's the thought that counts!)
- Afternoon: The Tea Tasting: After the tour, time for tea tasting. I'm not a tea connoisseur, but I do like to drink tea. The plan is to learn about different teas, sip them, and act sophisticated (even if I'm not).
- Late Afternoon: Panning for Gold?! The hostel offers a plantation tour, and supposedly, you can try panning for gold… I haven't decided if it's cheesy or actually really cool yet. (probably both)
- Evening: Head back to the hostel. Get ready for a bonfire.
- Night: Bonfire night. Time to relax with new and old friends. Storytelling. Chatting. And maybe, just maybe, a tiny bit of existential dread about returning to the real world.
DAY 4: Goodbye, Wayanad. (And Maybe a Tear or Two)
- Morning: Wake up, eat a final breakfast with a heavy heart. Pack. Check out of the hostel.
- Morning/Afternoon: If I have time, (and if I haven't already spent all my money) I want to visit the Pookode Lake. A tranquil lake in the middle of a forest. Pedal boat! (Maybe embarrassing)
- Afternoon: Travel to Kozhikode (CCJ) airport.
- Evening: Bye Wayanad, and thanks for the best time of my life.
- Night: Fly out. (Probably exhausted, sunburnt, and already planning the next trip back).
Important Imperfections & Ramblings:
- Transportation: The public transport situation in India sometimes leaves me a bit baffled, so I'm mostly relying on taxis and rickshaws. Hopefully, I don't get scammed.
- Mosquitoes: I'm bringing bug spray. Lots of it. They will be the enemy.
- Food Poisoning: Pray I don't get it. Seriously. The thought of a stomach bug in a jungle hostel gives me shivers.
- The Unexpected: This itinerary is a guideline. Things will go wrong. Things will change. That's part of the fun, right?
- The Memories: More than anything, I hope I get to make some incredible memories, meet interesting people, and have a proper adventure.
This is it! Wish me luck. I'll try to send updates when I can, but honestly… I might be too busy pretending to be a jungle person. Wish me luck!
