Wonderful stay at the Spice Village which was perfectly quiet with very homely comfortable accommodation. Great facilities, local and varied food of a great standard with super friendly, professional and helpful staff. Mr Tijin, the restaurant leader was superb is suggesting new and different food offerings and nudging to try new things. The activities were tricky as I visited in the rainy season.

We loved the ambience and the management 's commitment to protecting the environment... Memories of Spice village will always be cherished

Amazing property, good food and excellent service

Beautiful location and property. I enjoyed the walk in the national park very much

An inspirational resort that has every environmental detail under a microscope. Providing filtered water instead of bottled is an example that many more hotels should adopt, particularly when you see the smouldering rubish along the side of the road all over India. It is a very attractive hotel with beautifully maintained gardens, low key bungalows and delightful staff.

You immerse into a different world: little, lovingly decorated bungalows are set on the hilly, green premises with all kinds of different plants and at its centre a nice pool with fresh water. The consequent ecological approach ist impressing and inspiring: no plastic is used, water is recycled, food waste composted. Spice Village is a great starting point for tours into the nationalpark (the staff at the reception was a great help concerning information and organization): green walks, boat trips, jeep tours (In August, we saw neither tigers nor elephants but - on a trekking tour - a black panther, which is very, very rare.) ... But the hotel itself also has a lot to offer: Every night, you can take part in cooking (spice) demonstrations and watch dancing performances which we often did during our 6-day stay there. I especially appreciated the guided tour of the property as not only the ecological concept was explained to me, but also the flora and fauna pointed out, e.g. bats hanging in the trees and a giant squirrel eating a jackfruit. Making handmade paper was also a lot of fun! Last but not least the great variety of the excellent fresh food at the buffets for breakfast and dinner should be mentioned! So we'll definitely come back if in South India again!

Great location...very quiet and good for relaxation

The hotel is a beautiful and wonderful ending and worth the visit

Great Hotel. They managed our trips to the nature reserve by boat, but a bit more expensive than services outside the hotel. We organised our trek by jeep, at half the price, just a few meters from the hotel. My only reserve was that they charged us for 1 pack of nuts on the counter above the mini-bar, when we checked out. Seemed a bit mean to me, given that we dined there every night. I assumed that they were complimentary! I would not recommend the 20-mile dining area. The restaurant was much better.

The hotel was clean, green and well maintained overall. Say it be the services, staff or the food.

An excellent stay, lots of proposed activities. Room very large and clean. everything is done to make customers comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good introduction to spices and recipes.

Just a wonderful stay here which we extended by one night because we were enjoying our stay so much. As soon as we arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. Having your own private villa really makes you feel spoiled. The setting for the hotel is idyllic with incredible plants everywhere you look. The atmosphere of the place is really special and we felt very relaxed staying here. The level of service was superb and all the staff went above and beyond to make sure we enjoy our stay and make the most of our stay. Really can't speak more highly of this place.

Very good experience. Nice clean and green.. Maintenance is superb. A bit pricey though... No TV in the rooms, no room service, limited menu but excellent food..

We had a wonderful time. The grounds were beautiful and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The cooking demonstrations put on by the head chef were well done an a lot of fun. I woud recommend this hotel.
