Hotel in beautiful settling, but just lacked a bit of something, was nothing like web site pictures. Dining staff were attentive, but reception very slow. There were tea bags and cups in the room but only a flask of lukewarm water. We phone several times to request boiling water when we arrived after a long journey, and gave up in the end. The same thing happened the next day, several phone calls and no hot water, finally we trekked up the hill ( and believe me it is a trek) to complain, and had to wait 15 mins to finally get boiling water - ironic as we were sat in the middle of a huge tea plantation! -
Total lack of information about the place or the locality, no brochures or maps, only for the spa. Not as the website described with camp fires and barbecues. Don't let the couple on the website fool you, they are not drinking wine, as the hotel is not licensed, in fact a lot of small hotels in Kerala aren't.
Room ok, a bit lacking in style and felt/smelt very damp, but then you are in the clouds most of the time.
