The resort is located in a shady jungle. We lived in a beautiful well maintained cottage surrounded by forest sounds and excellent service. I with there were more resorts like Cardamom Club Thekkady in the world.

Away from city, very quiet situated in the middle cardamom plantation. Good architectural design and well mentioned cottages. Restaurant was good but menu was limited, good breakfast. Free bushwalk facility with hotel staff, amazing to see huge cardamom plantation and night experience with all different sounds. Very safe and secure place, would love to visit this place again.

The hotel is a very bumpy 20 minute ride from the town, but at the end of it is an idyllic wooded hillside on which are perched the main bungalow and the three cottages containing the 6 rooms of the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, perhaps giving us a little too much attention whenever we were there... More

My family (wife and 2 kids ages 12 and 13) enjoyed the cabins and the area - Thekkady. We stayed for 3 days - which was perfect. The ride here from Kochi was long (4-5 hrs) and windy up the mountain. Once here - it was really nice. The staff are very attentive and the cabins beautiful. Family enjoyed it.
