Hiliya Resort guests say...
"We all had such a wonderful time here. Our stay was a perfect balance of independence and being pampered. You live up to the Kerala tradition of treating guests like Gods! Personal tours of the magnificent sites in the area, home cooked meals, and dawn time wandering through the plantations and by the stay up in the tree house. Most of all, I know that we have made life-long friends here. You will stay in our hearts until we return!" - Olivia
"From the first moment of your warm and personal welcome at Sultans Bathery to the attention to every detail of our comfort, to the guided tours of the many splendours of Wayanad. We feel truly blesses to have met you and stayed with you. We will always remember you and Hiliya as a ‘homestay’ rather than a hotel, for that is what it has been! The delicious, home-cooked Keralan food will also be remembered and missed." - Jethro
