We stayed for 2 nights in the honeymoon villa. Munnar is such a beautiful place and staying at Blackberry Hills was just perfect for us. Check in was smooth. We were greeted with a small glass of "gooseberry" juice. They brought our bags down for us. Our villa was the last one down the hill overlooking the beautiful rolling hills... More

As everyone else has said the views are really good and made all the more interesting by being above the clouds. The garden is well kept. That's about it after that.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover” in other words you shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something, by its outward appearance alone. Blackberry Hills seems to be a beautiful resort with scenic view of the valley from each room, steep trekking paths , lots of flora and fauna and tall blackberry trees everywhere. But then it all boils... More
