Enjoy the beauty of 370 acres of private plantation paradise and experience our handcrafted activities in Munnar Dew Drops Farm Resort.
Lovely place. Excellent food. Courteous staff
Reviewed By XrieLovely place away from the town. It’s a 350-acre cardamom plantation. Stay was quite pleasant. The morning walks along the narrow country roads, fishing, cycling etc were enjoyable. Food was excellent. Bonfire was arranged. Staff was very courteous. Had to ask for a separate set of white towels as the ones provided were faded.

Bird-watcher friendly, Quaint, Good Rooms, Good Service, Lip-smacking Food
Reviewed By Samir_OvalekarWe were here as a part of a bird-watching itinerary. The location of the property with respect to views is nothing extraordinary but what it lacks in views it makes up in other essential areas as mentioned in the title. Spacious and spotlessly clean rooms with well-appointed furniture - large bathrooms with 24/7 hot water. Food is excellent - Do try their Beef and Duck Roast recipes. However, please do not choose Kerala Paratha which is made poorly. Go for roti or rice instead. Garden is small and full of birds and the rare Nilgiri Thrush also visits. However we were not so lucky with it. The manager is very polite and service is prompt. Free wifi is available and works well. All in all a good place to sit back and relax even if you are not into bird watching.
3. Ambady Estate

A very pleasant experience
Reviewed By MilandeepAmbady Estate is just before the main city of Munnar. It is situated on a tea and cardamom plantation and we were surrounded by nature all the time. It is a very welcome break for the life of a city dweller. You can hear the birds chirping in the morning and various insect noises at night. The cottage was big and airy, food was quite good and freshly made. You can walk around the estate as much as you want taking in the fresh air and the greenery. The only disadvantage of staying here is going to the main city becomes a little tough. Though if you arrange a cab, you can go for sight-seeing quite easily. When I'm going to Munnar again, this is where I'm going to stay. It's highly recommended if you like nature and quiet surroundings.

Eco Friendly property located on a hillock around the hills of Munnar. The property has got a small waterfall within the location right in front of the front desk. There are large virgin trees and a lot of cardamom and coffee plantations in and around the property. There are luxury tents, a rock house and a tree house available at the property.
Stay inside nature, not just close by
Reviewed By akbansaIt's nature. The fact is that I loved this place being a part of nature. Beautiful and comfortable Tents and houses, plantations, awesome healthy food with welcoming hospitality. In short, the experience here was ineffable.

Superb stay in Vagamon
Reviewed By mohanc920Superb location. Great service. Even though the rooms are pretty old and is due for renovation, their service and location of the property will keep you positive. Its not like other typical Vagamon properties, where you see lot of tea and cardamom plantations. In this property, you feel like you are inside a forest, with sound of cricket ? and birds through out the day. Best place if you are a nature lover and okay to sleep in mediocre rooms.

Ramakkalmedu. The newly discovered hill station of Kerala, the god’s own country, is located in the spice district Idukki. Ramakkalmedu is the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu and located centrally between the famous tourist attractions of Kerala such as Periyar Tiger Reserve of Thekkady, Munnar hill station, Kuttikkanam, Vagamon Parunthumpara and many more attractions and spice farms. Ramakkalmedu is approximately 35 km from Thekkady and 70 km from Munnar.
Visiting the property
Reviewed By Saffron Sfor western customers, i would not recommend this place. Although the concept is interesting, i would define it in disrepair and abandoned, very solitary, best served by a jeep with driver, to bring you up and down in case of lack of food it other amenities ... Basic stay, i would define this as luxury tenting

Catch me if you can, Satellite!
Reviewed By grey_dream_greenStaying at this untouched, unpolluted place is holidaying this day last century in a cosy cottage classically built right inside a deep jungle.You can only marvel at the interior while visiting a mansion or museum of past glory but here you live it- surprisingly, you envy the simple but better quality-life of the gone era. The bungalow would beat any place of past splendour hands down, considering, it is right inside the core of one of the most protected wild life sanctuaries where humans can not mess with wildlife .Taking special care to preserve nature for generations, the family owning the property, is zealously guarding the jungle to conserve wild life. So expect only the essential basic comforts of today's world here! You may have visited the most exotic places on earth- I have not, but I am sure you will love this place if you really want to experience the tasteful life style of your ancestors had they been nature lovers owning a beautiful place inside the wildest Periyar Forest- the pride and crown jewel of God's own country. The staff here don't belong to today's tourism world of feigned hospitality and trained courtesy.They are sincere simple caring folks who don't treat us as just guests! We feel we arrived to make life happy and meaningful for them! Brave-heart Kuttan, Mary, Mariadas, The Bhograjs, Manu(Rithu DMC),take care of you and the lovely jungle and the exotic wild life around you!

Horrible experience of stay
Reviewed By jiassssI have recently stayed in the hotel for a night. Get a family suite booked with 50% discount being off season. However to my surprise the owner has refused to switch on the AC without addn payment of Rs 500/- due to unaffordable being off season discount given. The washrooms were dirty with no hot water connections. There was no toiletries provided which is also not ethical after booking a family room. The washroom curtains were dirty and stinking. The bed linens were also stinky and I have to almost fight for everything. The restaurant was not functional making it more difficult to stay. My suggestion is to be cautious before planning your stay in the resort and bargain for everything literally everything. It was a pathetic and horrible experience and will never forget in my life.
