We had read so much about Jungle Retreat Wayanad and it didn't disappoint. Gave us an African safari lodge vibes. What makes them special is the location, saw a Tiger, multiple elephant and a Dhole hunt from our room itself. I can't think of another place where we could see all this from the room. In fact we thought sitting in the balcony gave us more chance of wildlife viewing that going for Safari drives. Another huge plus is the incredible staff, as mentioned by other reviewers, they... are just amazing. Add excellent food and activities, you have a completely satisfying stay. It is a bit more expensive than the other resorts in the area, but we are glad we paid the Rs 1K more, the sightings made it worth it and more.
