Meenachil Vacations from $522

Hotel is well maintained, quiet and clean. Rooms are spacious with all the modern amenities. Bathroom is quite spacious too and has walk-in shower. The Gym has enough equipments to go around. Food and Breakfast buffet has a good spread but if I remember puttu/kadala & appam/curry were missing. Maybe those items are available on request. There's building and road works around the hotel. One of the roads leading to the hotel was not in a roadworthy state. Felt some staff at the reception to be rookies but overall the experience was good bordering exceptional.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff.

Absolutely magical spot right on the banks of the legendary Periyar River and close to historically significant sites. If you want to spend your vacation in total relaxation (hammocks and ancient Indian massages with stunning views, delicious Kerala food and friendly fast service) this is the place for you. My frail 87 year old mother and I stayed here after a very long journey from the U.S. to rest up before heading on to our house a few hours away by car. The accommodating manager Justin booked our taxis and even arranged for a wheelchair. Akhil met us at the car with the chair at 3am when we got to the resort. Even at that late hour he was ready to bring us food—mummy actually asked for ice cream and got it! But it’s only after we woke up in our smartly designed room with a private patio that we realized how lucky we were. Shout out to the super staff Jeevan, Zachariah, the ladies in the kitchen, the cleaners, and the gardeners who are the heart of the place. Thank you all!

Highly recommend this place! Beautiful resort tucked away in the middle of spice capital of the world. Staff is super friendly and very helpful, they are always there to help you and will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, on site traditional Kerala massages are available too. This is the place to cost, If you are looking for real Kerala traditional experience.

The setting is magical, and perfect for our smaller kids with activities and a kid-friendly swimming pool. Property condition felt a little dated and dining options were few and expensive, esp given the indoor option was very small and the hotel has no spirits licence (so only beer and wine available)
