Spice Tree Munnar♡

Awesome property in Munnar - a rare gem.

10.0

Location, staff, cleanliness and food. The view is pretty mesmerising, espcially from the pool villas 601 and 602. Food is good and it's a well kept and clean property. Chinnakanal is a good spot in munnar even during summers..its pleasant weather and there is no better property in chinnakanal, from what i have seen.

− Nothing too dislike here.

Excellent property. Loved everything

10.0

Everything. The location, the property, amenities, staff- all of it. Very polite and helpful staff and they went above and beyond to make sure our stay was good. They only have a few cottages so we got a very personal experience from the staff and the property. Starting from the security to the reception staffs to restaurant staff- all are amazing and kind. The property is in multiple levels deep inside the nature on a big land. They have two pools, library, and a lot of green space to walk around. Although we went in hot summer it still was good. They gave us cookies baked in their own Clay Owen which was delicious and every product In their property such as soap shampoo etc were all very good scented. They organise many activities like walks, cooking classes and yoga. This is a great property and I loved everything about it especially the staff.

− Nothing. If I am to say one comment I might add the food in their restaurant. It was definitely good but I’ve had better food.

Beautiful Place

Beautiful ambience.

− TV had nothing in English to watch.

Breathtaking views from the rooms, serene environment, excellent staff - best resort in my life so far

10.0

This resort is a gem hidden in the hillside cardamom plantations just above Bison Valley. The resort has everything you may need during a holiday, so you may stay onsite for days if you want. The staff offer several onsite and offsite activities you can choose from (hikes, tea tasting, yoga, etc.). All of these were good experiences for us. They helped us arrange taxi rides to Munnar and Chokramudi (the latter is a must-see if you’re in the neighbourhood). Overall, the staff were extremely helpful and kind, they provided an optimal service where we felt pampered but never intruded.

− The tap water was a bit yellowish, so it didn’t look best in the jacuzzi. Also, it was a pity that cooking classes and some food items from the menu were not available due to the natural gas shortage.

Great Property; Great Dining; Great Service

We enjoyed this terrific property with outstanding views. We loved our room overlooking the valley--except, it is a long way from the main building and restaurant over somewhat difficult steps at night and in the rain. Not much one can do about the location of the better rooms but, for other folks, a request to stay in rooms closer to the main building should be considered. The food was terrific and we had a dining room in our room--the staff served our dinners course by course which was a great experience. The infinity pool in our room overlooking the valley was perfect. We enjoyed it after a long day of sight seeing. I highly recommend this property.

Our favourite Kerala place so far

We arrived from Thekkady, having already spent time in Kovalam and on the houseboats in Alleppey. The drive was long but absolutely lovely, with breathtaking scenery throughout. The hotel itself is set on a hill, so be aware there are some steep climbs from the lower areas up to reception, but the views more than make up for it. Check-in was straightforward, and we were then taken to our room. The room was rustic in style, but certainly not basic. It felt thoughtfully designed and high quality. Highlights included a beautiful copper bath, copper ceiling fans, effective air conditioning, a private plunge pool, proper coffee (not the usual instant found elsewhere), and one of the best views we’ve had on this trip. We took part in the complimentary tea tasting, which was a great experience, followed by one of the organised sunset walks. This lasted about an hour. It was lovely, with incredible scenery, though slightly challenging in parts. Dinner can be pre-ordered, which we did, and the food was excellent. It was noticeably less spicy than other places we’ve visited, which allowed us to really enjoy the flavours without being overwhelmed by chilli, though I’m sure they would adjust spice levels if requested. The wine selection was also decent. On our first night, I had the lamb with nutmeg, and my wife had the chicken tikka masala. Both were excellent. The staff were great too. The messages amazing. Yoga was cancelled the first morning, although they did let us use the yoga room for ourselves. Overall, we would highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Munnar, which you absolutely should.
