Tea Valley Resort

Excellent views from hotel of tea valley. You can do at least two good self guided walks from the door (with a bit of a sense of adventure and ignoring the hotel staff!)

In summary, a very disappointing and frustrating stay, leading to our lowest ever booking.com score by some margin and after a lot of travelling in India. Recommend you look elsewhere if staying in Munnar. Very missleading website; we booked Tea Valley because of the adventurous activities advertised online. None of these were actually available. Staff only seemed to be able to arrange expensive day trips in a taxi to local sites. After a lot of trying we ended up doing our own local walks. But then later in Munnar saw adverts for hiking guides. Ignore the activities section of the website. Room was never cleaned / bed never made during our 3 night stay. Room floor very dirty from the start. Ran out of toilet paper and it took 2 hours and multiple requests to get some more. Rooms have very thin walls. On 2 of our 3 nights we were woken early by those staying next door. Loud Indian music is not what you want at 4am. All communication with hotel staff was very confused and tiring. We were regularly told to "wait 10 minutes" for things which never happened. Not sure if this was because of limited English, not understanding our (British) accent or just staff laziness. Food OK, nothing special. Location basically means you have to always eat at the hotel unless you have your own car. Munnar was a 20 - 30 minute TukTuk ride away.
