It is a unique experience staying at Visalam, staying in a restored mansion. The service was excellent with tea making in the mornings, cooking demonstrations, and attentive staff. Our guide, Shiva, was knowledgeable and personable and the pleasant guided walk in the afternoon as well as visits to tile makers and snack makers were very interesting. Being able to meet locals was a great experience. We also had a great meal at a local village restaurant in between seeing inside amazing houses. I highly recommend Visalam.

Didn't expect this gem off the beaten path. We booked this hotel because we found a great price but what we got in return was exceptional service. Being the only guest at the hotel we thought we'd get the mediocre treatment with bare minimum. But we were pleasantly surprised by hospitality and the great food quality. Even though it was a set menu the food was incredibly delicious and on time. The rooms are very spacious with an enclose bed and even more spacious ensuite. We opted for a room close to the pool and restaurant since we planned to hang around the pool most of the time. Special mention to Shiva their leisure coordinator for arranging the tours to the near by locations and in house activities.

Lovingly maintained property with beautifully appointed rooms and excellent service. The lawn with the garden in full bloom was possibly the best part

We had a wonderful stay at Visalam in Karaikudi. From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the staff made all the difference. Mohan at the reception was very helpful. He patiently listened to our plans and guided us in putting together the perfect itinerary. The dining experience was excellent. Chef Vivekanandan and his team served delicious Chettinad food throughout our stay, and Sathish and Kadir took exceptional care of us at every meal, always attentive and thoughtful. We also enjoyed the kitchen demos, which added a lovely personal touch. Krithika took us on a guided tour and explained the history of the region in an engaging and clear manner. The GM, Manoj, checked in on us often with genuine warmth. Every part of our stay felt thoughtful and personalised.

This was a delightful place worthy of a 2 night stay. Beautifully decorated, tastefully restored, with elegant touches here and there, an abundant garden and an impressively long swimming pool. A spa/sauna would be the icing on the cake. we loved the village walks and especially the ride into the local villages on e-bike. The food was some of the nicest we had, fresh and tasty. The staff were all friendly and professional. Everything shuts down from 9pm, meaning you cant get a soft drink after that time, which I wish I knew beforehand. The bedrooms were large and cool in the hot weather, and the beds very comfortable. We had a great time here and would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat.

We stayed in Visalam as part of a tour group. We had previously stayed in two other hotels which are part of the CGH Earth Experience and they are all similar but different. Our room was wonderful. As an old colonial building, the spaces were large and full of character. The bed was wider across than the length and it was so high steps were provided if required. Great a/c and fans, a shower that worked well, a desk and a nice lounge area for relaxing. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, etc. were all provided. No iron but there is a laundry service. There is a kettle in the room but no tea or coffee that I could see. Tea, coffee, masala chai were available from 6.30am and 4.30pm for a couple of hours. The masala chai was great. There's a decent sized pool, a restaurant and a nice garden area. Well worth a visit. Ask for Shiva. Very helpful and he seemed to do lots!

The hotel itself is beautiful- a typical Chettinad home. The staff was very helpful and efficient. The breakfast is healthy and delicious and served in a beautiful quiet open air patio. I have to commend Shiva who was outstanding- he was the best guide, an amazing organiser, his friendly manner and attention to our smallest need- made all the difference to our experience . He truly elevated our experience and satisfaction
