Le Candles Resort

Service Quality: Staff behavior was widely appreciated, described as friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Many users highlighted the exceptional hospitality and quick service, making them feel welcome and cared for throughout their stay.

We stayed at Le Candles for one night, booking three cottages directly. While the resort has potential due to its picturesque location and natural surroundings, our overall experience was far from satisfactory. The resort is a small property with about 8-10 cottages of varying sizes, built on a steep hillside. The greenery and natural ambiance give it a serene feel, and it is easily accessible from the main roads, being not too far from Kozhikode town. It has the makings of a cozy getaway, particularly for couples or small families who appreciate being close to nature. The steep steps to access the cottages from the reception and restaurant make it unsuitable for elderly guests or those with mobility challenges. The cottages were not well maintained. One of our cottages had an Amazonian-style washroom that was leaking, and we encountered moths and even snails inside. Rainwater entered the bedroom due to a leakage in the porch area, making the stay uncomfortable and troublesome. We had an unsettling experience when a snake crossed our path near the cottages and disappeared into the nearby bamboo bushes. While the staff made efforts to address it, it highlighted the lack of effective pest and wildlife control. The small pool at the top of the hill is inadequate for more than 5-6 people at a time, and the overall upkeep of the area left much to be desired. The breakfast provided was average at best and did not match the quality of similar resorts in the region. Since we discovered that their kitchen is located elsewhere, we refrained from ordering additional food. Despite the natural beauty of the property, the lack of proper maintenance and professional management made our stay disappointing. Le Candles has significant potential to become a sought-after destination, but it requires a major overhaul in terms of upkeep, service quality, and safety standards to meet expectations.

One of the best resorts in Calicut. . A must-visit with family or friends, offering a Good ambiance and great hospitality. Pet-friendly with adorable animals like Persian cats, ducks, and rabbits, making it a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommended.
