What the resort offers
Morickap Resort is a five star property on Hill Grew Estate, and the guest score on file is 4.7 out of 5 from 4450 reviews. The facilities are broad. There is an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a spa and massage, a restaurant and a bar, and room service when you would rather eat indoors. Leisure runs from a tennis court and badminton court to table tennis and a games room. A garden, patio and picnic area sit alongside a banquet hall and business centre.
Practical needs are covered too: air conditioning, a balcony, family rooms and non smoking rooms, free WiFi, free parking and laundry. A 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security support late arrivals, with express check in, concierge, luggage storage, car hire and a shuttle service. Wheelchair accessible rooms and special diet menus are available. One reason to choose it over a smaller stay is the range of indoor and outdoor leisure on the estate itself.
Where it sits
The resort is on Hill Grew Estate, 5.7 km from the centre of Kalpetta. Kalpetta is the headquarters of Wayanad district, in North Kerala, and the property is inland, on a plateau reached by a hairpin climb from the Malabar coast. This is coffee and pepper country: coffee, cardamom and pepper grow under a tree canopy rather than on clipped open slopes, which is why the hills stay green through the year.
Wayanad's altitude runs from 700 to 2,100 m, so days are cooler than the coast. The destination is older than the tourist map, with neolithic Edakkal petroglyphs nearby. The tiger reserve borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, so the forest is continuous in three directions. Edakkal, Thirunelli and the Jain temple at Sultan Bathery are all inside an hour of each other, though the resort itself sits outside Kalpetta's centre.
Who it suits
This resort suits families and groups who want a five star base with a pool, courts and a games room, and who plan to spend time on the property as well as in Wayanad. It also suits anyone who values a 24 hour front desk, a spa and massage, and a shuttle service. It suits you less if you want to step out of your room into Kalpetta's centre, because the resort is 5.7 km from it.
Planning a stay
September to May is the season for Wayanad. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so if you travel during the monsoon, allow for that. The resort has 24 hour security and a 24 hour front desk, and express check in helps after a late arrival. With car hire and free parking on site, having your own transport makes the distance from Kalpetta straightforward.
