SpiceTree Munnar

Delightful hotel. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive, very comfortable room, very clean pool on our deck, good food, all in all an excellent experience. One word of warning however - the two pool villas, while completely fabulous, are a very long and rather steep walk from the main public areas. We were kindly driven back and forth by one of the hotel staff but, this fact should probably be made a little clearer. However, it was still a wonderful stay!

What a beautiful place and setting- surrounded by tropical plants and tea plantations. The staff were all so lovely and helpful and the food was good too. There is also a spa and I had a wonderful massage. So glad we stayed here and would highly recommend

Nestled in the mountains lies a gem. Beautiful hotel with very welcoming staff. Upon arrival we were greeted with the ***ager who suggested all the in-house & outside activities. Some were complimentary like cooking class, tea tasting, yoga etc. the breakfast was organic, fresh & extremely tasty as if made with great care. There is no AC but with cool weather didn't need. There are ***y low & high steps so be careful. Bird noises all around. I suggest putting side tables beside bed for keeping stuff. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

We really enjoyed our stay at Spice Tree. We had a jacuzzi room with a wonderful view and loved the fact the balcony and windows were well protected with fly screens, so we could keep them open at night to let the cool breeze come through from the valley. We took advantage of most of the free activities, which I can heartily recommend. There were cookies, muffins and chocolate to accompany the tea tasting and we got to eat the lunch with some delightful company after the chef gave us all a cooking demonstration. The staff were all polite and helpful and the food was delicious. Would happily return.

A blissful place to stay. A beautiful and comfortable room and lovely jacuzzi and shower. The staff here are so helpful, kind and pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed the trek through the cardamom plantations and the cooking class. I enjoyed the food here although improvements could be made with the breakfast. I found the poha to be dry. I enjoyed the company of Ritilesh who was a great host!

A beautiful hotel in the most amazing setting. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Pool has stunning views , the food is very good with all tastes catered for . Definitely recommend this hotel. ***y extras on offer- spa, yoga etc but we didn’t have time to use these sadly

Small resort (only 16 rooms) with absolutely fabulous views as it clings to to the side of the hillside. Staff are friendly and attentative and the service is first rate. Meals are cooked to order and definitely have the individual touch. The food was delicious. We had a pool villa, with a private balcony and plunge infinity pool. Only point to watch is the slope is very steep so anyone with mobility issues might struggle; and the best rooms are at the bottom of the resort! Great stay - thank you to all the staff.

We stayed at the Spice Tree, Munnar last week – to celebrate my friend’s milestone birthday. According to both TripAdvisor & *********** – The SpiceTree ranks 15th (or farther) in the hotel ranking in Munnar. Hence honestly, we weren’t expecting the quality of experience we received. The excellent team at the hotel contacts you before your arrival – delivers crisp instructions to the driver who’s bringing you from Kochi airport, asks you if you would like your lunch to be kept ready and is all set to welcome you warmly when you arrive. On arrival, you see a lush green canopy of trees hiding the resort. The whole hotel is spread over the Kanan Devan hills in a gorgeous medley with the local trees and land. I doubt there’s any location on the property from where the views aren’t breathtaking. The dining room is perched on the hilltop – with a flower-laden al-fresco balcony and a glass walled – seats inside. The meals are made to-taste and served piping hot. The kitchen team serves glasses of chilled lemonade as you relax at different perches in the property. At breakfast, the chef dishes out crispy-golden Dosa and cheesy masala omelet. We’d bask endlessly in Munnar’s cloud filtered sunlight on one of the three balcony tables with a cup of traditional early flush tea. The rooms are a puddle of natural light – with three sides open, two facing the lush Bison Valley hills. Clean, comfortable, and large rooms also flaunt a fantastic jacuzzi that overlooks the hills. If you don’t mind some steps between the dining area and your room – go for the ones below the reception level. The property has two pools – one of the two is a small, private, infinity pool attached to the library. Make sure you spend one evening there and watch the sun go down from the ledge of you pool. But what shines the brightest about the SpiceTree – is the Team. Kind, friendly, polite, and eager to make your stay perfect. Whether its Dhaneesh Chandra – who spearheads this excellent team, the Chef who is more than happy to treat you to dishes outside his menu or the other staff that never misses to smile when you see them during your stay. So, if you are looking for a stay in Munnar – don’t think further and book yourself a hillside room at SpiceTree.
