The trip up to Munnar was so harrowing that at times we felt that we may never reach in one piece. But we had an exellent driver, Biju from Exotic Passages Travel. It was a LONG 4 hrs drive from Kochi. We stopped at an excellent hotel for a buffet lunch at Cloud Nine (but I could not eat anything... more

Last minute booking on the internet resulted in prompt and clear responses. The service throughout our stay was helpful and friendly. Afternoon guided walk throughout the fields of cardamom and tea was an added bonus (at not extra cost) as was the afternoon tea under the thatched roof of the open air hut (the fried banana snacks are fantastic). The... more

I won't say too much. We've been to India twice now; both times to Kerala, which we love. However, our trip to Munnar was our low point. On the way in (on a harrowing road where it really seemed we could lose our lives) we saw how stunningly beautiful Munnar is; loaded with tea plants, working elephants seen in one... more

We arrived in rain and it was quite cold by comparison with the rest of our trip. But the staff, food and accommodation (simple but very clean and spacious) more than made up for it. Without asking we were upgraded to a room with a fantastic view of the sweeping mountains below and Doctor Simon and his staff did everything... more

The best property I have ever stayed in yet. The manager at that time Mr. Jhon was an excellent guy. They provided me pick up from Cochin in a Lancer @ just Rs.2200/-. Big spacious rooms @ 1000 sq ft. Hill top inside the property lends to beautiful view of Munnar. The property is picture perfect, like a postcard. Food... more

We spent two nights at the Windermere Estate Hotel in January 2009 as part of our South India Holiday. We reserved a Planter's Villa in response to some previous reviewers' comments about the smaller rooms, and we were not disappointed. The hotel is not a luxury property, having a feel closer to a Home Stay in many ways, the proprietor... more

A nice old-fashioned collection of houses in the highlands. Our room was described as part of a "cottage" - in reality more like a room in a two-storey block . Simple but comfortable and spacious bedroom and a fantastic, atmospheric view over the valley when the mist cleared. We took a guided walk through the cardamom plantations which was very... more

My wife and I, along with another couple, stayed at Windermere for 2 nights.....and what a stay!! We were in adjacent Planters Villa rooms - the rooms were basic but spacious. Great views, good food (breakfast and dinner was included in tariff; lunch was a bit overpriced but then you dont have too many eating options in Munnar other than... more
