no accommodation or food for our driver. room was okay, no TV, no AC. service was slow The staff was not as helpful as we expected about the knowledge around the area. The stuff like slippers were a little dirty even after replacement, so not sure if they are reusing stuff.

The property is simply fabulous. The first impression whenyou enter the property is amazing. You cross over a bridge to reach reception. Enroute there are stairs to access bird zones. Rich lush green all over, lili pods, swans, etc. We stayed with family of teens and elderly parents. We had booked huts. The rooms were very comfortable and had all facilities you would expect. The nature and spice garden were truly amazing. Two suggestions for improvements 1. Only one downside is that to contact reception from room is a challange. No one responds when you call. 2. The checkout time is 10:30 am which is too early. Overall worth every penny

We loved the Spice Garden. It is a beautiful property set amidst hillsides growing cardamom and pepper, with attractive buildings and blossoming gardens. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful. And the local activities are great - we enjoyed a visit to a tea plantation and a wonderful walk in the Periyar nature reserve, both booked through the hotel. We would stay there again if we come back.

Highly recommend this place! Beautiful resort tucked away in the middle of spice capital of the world. Staff is super friendly and very helpful, they are always there to help you and will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, on site traditional Kerala massages are available too. This is the place to cost, If you are looking for real Kerala traditional experience.
