Beautiful villa room!

I booked this hotel on a whim after reading the reviews and wanting to pamper myself on my vacation to India. I was traveling there with another friend of mine. The Manager Mr. Randheesh and Ms. Renju graciously greeted us and helped make tour arrangements as well. The chef and other staff kept checking on us to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The villa with the pool was grand, private and beautiful. I just wished the mountain view was not blocked by all the shrubs. I think that was not the case with the second villa they had on property. The breakfast buffet was perfect with variety and tasted authentic. We tried the spa service as well and I enjoyed it as well. The price for the booking was very steep but the service and room was worth it. There is one comment however I would like to make. Although I had made the booking in my name, they treated my friend as the superior although I mentioned he is a friend not my husband. I wanted to tey an independent excursion in the morning when my friend was asleep and the security staff was very reluctant to arrange an auto at first and asked me if I took permission from my friend before going out. Given that.many foreigners travel here, I was not expecting that cross questioning. They finally did call me an auto when I said I'll walk up the hill to get one myself instead. I visited Munnar during peak summer in April, and since the rooms only have fans we did toss and turn at night. But I had a splendid stay there.

So many kind words to say about Spice Tree. First: how many establishments have you ever been too that the manager of the Resort will ride with you to the hospital. FYI do not drink the spring water in the National Park in Munnar. He rode with our taxi driver to hospital, he stayed with me the whole time. I can never thank him so much for his help. You are an amazing Man. Thank you. 2nd this resort is the place for a great escape to relax and enjoy wonderful food by the best Chef. 3rd the staff there was perfect. From the reception and room cleaners, and then to the grounds cleaners. Everyone welcomes you with an open heart. I will have to say as tourists, we must always do better. Please tip the waiter staff, to the room cleaners. They work hard and deserve the respect we get as tourists from the Spice Tree. I will be back. Love India and Munnar is the best.

Fantastic resort with impressive staff

I had an amazing stay at this resort! It is located a bit away from Munnar town, but do not let that worry you as this is beautiful part of Munnar. There are plenty of things to see and do in the area, and the resort itself has many options to pass the time. But the best part was the team here. Very professional and helpful! This was by far the best hotel I stayed at while in India as they made every detail count. For a really special stay, I highly recommend the pool villa! Fantastic restaurant, too!

EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERY WAY

Spice Tree was exceptional in every way. Beautifully situated in the mountain Munnar region but far enough away to be in pristine quiet and beauty. The staff was excellent with customer service, the food was gourmet, and the design of the rooms and hotel itself is very considered in the lush setting. Our treks through the tea plantations and the Lakshmi Hills, were arranged by the staff and were personal and beautiful. l This place is a GEM and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Munnar.

Amazing trip to Spice Tree!

This was probably the highlight hotel of our 2 week India tour - the road trip from Kochi was bumpy to say the least, but when we arrived it was SO worth it. The property clings to the side of the hills and has stunning views over the valley below, which is stunning in the rain and mist. All the staff were so friendly and made sure we had a great experience on our visit. Dinesh was excellent on front desk and made all the arrangements for our transport and day trip to the tea plantations (you must do this jeep safari day - it was excellent). Mathew and Sooraj in the restaurant were awesome and very friendly. Siju who guided our morning spice plantation and dolmens evening walk was so helpful and knowledgable - we had a great time. Food was great, facilities so clean and comfortable, spa massage was exceptional. Only regret was only staying three nights! A most relaxing and enjoyable stay - we would definitely stay again. Thank you!

The Spice Tree is in a fantastic location high above "Bison Valley", nestled in a teak forest and a short drive away from the tea plantations surrounding Munnar. The location is not the only great thing about the hotel -- the staff and service are superb, the restaurant is excellent and the facilities are great: from the coffee shop/bakery to the library and spa. The icing on the cake was the "wine and milk" bath, which was spectacular with the result being a petal-strewn bath with floating tealights.

Absolutely Pristine Location

We loved our stay at Spice Tree, Munnar. The rooms are luxurious and the food is delicious, but the best thing about the place is that the entire experience is built on being sustainable and kind to the environment. They don't use plastic anywhere (event the shampoo/conditioner containers are cute little clay pots), the food is locally sourced and organic, and the electricity is mainly from the solar panels on the property. The views are absolutely breathtaking that make the ride up entirely worth it. A special mention of the staff, they were always very kind and efficient. We absolutelty loved our long weekend there.

Terrific hotel. Service as good as it gets. Excellent food. The location is out of the way but the hotel provides activities to fill a good two days. There is a wonderful aesthetic to the entire place. And, of course, quiet. Note: there is no air conditioning anywhere at the hotel, but at the altitude in the mountains, AC not really needed.

Disappointing - and not a good value

We were very disappointed in this visit, our second one. We were misled by management a few times, and were not advised by the hotel that the roads to the hotel were undergoing construction, and all of the decent roads were closed. Not knowing, we ended up on roads that were dangerous, took even longer, and were not suitable for our vehicle. The manager on duty said that the road closure had just started that day, which was not true - we learned it had been closed for weeks. If the hotel had been responsible and caring about their guests, they would have advised us - we very probably would have canceled our stay, as the road closure delays also forced us to cancel the excursions we planned to take. We felt that we were misled by the management on several occasions while we were there. We had also emailed in advance to request spa services for the evening we arrived, and were told that it was no problem, no need to book - we'd be able to book on the spot. When we arrived, there were no services available. The rates at the hotel are quite a bit higher, almost double, what they were previously, and although the facility and the location are beautiful, and the rooms very nice, it is not a good value at this price point. Also, we found that the food was really not very good at all compared to our previous stay. The spa services are mediocre These should be significantly better for the price they charge now. The staff are very nice, and the activities quite good.

Gem in Munnar

Hotel is located in the mountains of Munnar. Hotel is relatively new, in immaculate condition, VERY clean. Amazing restaurant,, delicious and very innovative dishes, had cooking class. Ayerveding massage was one of the best I had during my trip, clean and relaxing environment. Manager and staff were very friendly, helpful, from the first minutes we were surrounded by very pleasant and helpful staff. They gave alot of advice for the trip. I wish we had stayed longer, we ended up leaving later and spent relaxing extra afternoon. Would definitely recommend it, would go back again!

Cup of Heaven

I cannot express what a hidden gem I found in Spice Tree Munnar. the room- one of the most romantic. the grounds- lush, meandering paths, stunning vistas, quaint common areas. the service- impeccable and sincere. favourite: the hidden library/coffee shop at the base of the property. I sat and read, distracting myself with the valley views, watching a sunset and sunrise, with faint Hindi music echoing through the hills. This stay alone was MY India. my only regret was not spending a few more days. Probably one of the farthest spots away from Munnar central, which makes it perfect- quiet, natural and authentic India. only cons: bed was pretty lumpy and insects somehow managed to get in, but otherwise I would have given 5 stars all around. best stay of my trip.

Idylle in einer Kardamonplantage

Wir waren überrascht, dass die Anlage mehrere Kilometer weit vom Zentrum Munnars entfernt liegt, aber die Reise hat sich gelohnt. Das Team und der Service war toll. Besonders das Zimmer war ein toller Rückzugsort, der abendliche Spaziergang mit Guide war zauberhaft und die Ruhe erholsam.
