Marsim Holiday Resort is a one star property on the 12Th Bridge Vythiri Banasura Dam Road, in the hills outside Kalpetta. It lists a long set of facilities and holds a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 363 reviews. Whether it suits you depends on one thing: you want a plain, well equipped base in Wayanad rather than polished hotel finish.
What Marsim Holiday Resort lists
Marsim Holiday Resort is rated one star, and guests have given it 4.4 out of 5 from 363 reviews. The facilities are wide for that rating.

A banquet hall, beauty salon and massage are available, with car hire and shuttle service for getting out. Non smoking rooms and wheelchair access are provided. No guest score detail beyond the overall figure is on file.
Where it sits in Wayanad
Marsim Holiday Resort stands outside Kalpetta, in the wider Wayanad district, 7.5 km from the centre of Kalpetta. Kalpetta is the headquarters of Wayanad district. The property lies in Wayanad, in North Kerala, on a plateau in the north east reached by a hairpin climb from the Malabar coast. The destination is hills, at 700 to 2,100 m, with coffee and pepper under the trees rather than tea on open slopes.
The setting is inland and green. Coffee, cardamom and pepper grow under canopy, which is why the hills stay green rather than clipped. Edakkal, Thirunelli and the Jain temple at Sultan Bathery are all inside an hour of each other. The tiger reserve borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, so the forest is continuous in three directions. The Edakkal petroglyphs are neolithic, older than the tourist map.
Who it suits and who it does not
Marsim Holiday Resort suits families and groups who want space, a playground, a kitchen and a long list of on site facilities as a base for the Wayanad hills. It also suits anyone who wants a 24 hour front desk, car hire and shuttle service for days out. It does not suit travellers who expect one star to mean a small, quiet property: the range of facilities and the 363 reviews point to a busier place. It is also not for those who need a town centre address, since the property is 7.5 km from the centre of Kalpetta.
Planning a stay
September to May is the season for Wayanad. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so plan travel with that in mind if the monsoon is late or early. Marsim Holiday Resort is on the 12Th Bridge Vythiri Banasura Dam Road in Wayanad district, outside Kalpetta. Breakfast is listed, as are a restaurant and room service, so meals on site are covered. Bring what you need for the hills; the property provides the rest from its list.
