This tourist resort is really very nice. The bungles are stylish and spacious. The restaurant is good and the terras gives a very nice view of the gardens and swimming pool. Have a look at the kitchen garden. See the monkeys play there. Staff is helpful and nice. From the hotel you can make very nice excursions. More

Free wifi but only in the reception area. The downside to this resort is the spa, the staff were trainees and very inexperienced and the spa itself was very basic for the... More

I had a facial and ended up with a severe rash despite informing them I had sensitive skin. It was the first time I could... More

We were warmly welcomed at the Spice Village. Accommodation is in bungalows in the extensive grounds which are well equipped - the bathroom in our bungalow could do with updating but that is my only criticism. They obviously thought the lower temperatures at night might be a problem and we found hot water bottles in our bed one night! The... More

Lovely relaxing place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights and could have done with longer to visit Periyar and the spice plantations. We recommend the 4 pm tour by the enthusiastic naturalist around the gardens -not many people took this up so we had our own private tour! The cookery demonstrations are a treat, and the smaller outside restaurant... More

Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Bathrooms are also specious, plenty of hot water. All very clean. Nice touches like rose petals placed on the bed one of the evenings. The property... More

we stayed at Spice Village last year and liked it a lot, but we found that some things have changed for the worse. The welcome drink was only a simple herbal tea. There was no kettle in the room, you had to call the restaurant for hot water. There were no activities for children any more, e.g like paper making,... More
