What a place! Just an amazing stay, thanks to brilliant staff and a super-chilled environment.
The bungalows are so cute and comfortable. The grounds are so green a lush. The Tiger Team organised a great daytime and nighttime walk in the forest. We saw plenty of animals and loads of birds.
Food in the main restaurant is very good. Also the cooking with spices demos are insightful. The small food place net to the bar was a bit disapointing.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend Spice Village enough. A true haven of tranquility.

One night stay to experience the Periyar reserve close by. Our room was enormous and located near the very back of the property. Sadly building works are directly next to the property so we heard angle grinding. Mgr tried to stop them but only the rain did.
Staff amazing. Food delicious. Great cocktails and beers. Breakfast sumptuous! Many many options to choose. Lovely hotel with nature every where. Peaceful (mostly) oasis.
We did the Nature walk. Some confusion over timings etc meant we were late back but the hotel held breakfast for us. Note if you are doing the walk wear long trousers and ideally walking boots or trekking sandals. Brilliant experience with Betsy our guide.

A magical oasis in the middle of Thekaddy. The staff are so friendly and the rooms are amazing - separate cottages scattered around the grounds. A generous breakfast and buffet dinner are available and there are some free activities too, including a cooking demo with an introduction to spices. Definitely recommended!

Real back to nature feel is what you get here

Great ambience at the property with full, on point back to nature feel. Staff was very courteous and helpful. The spread and quality of food served, especially the home made pickles and spreads, was awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the artist playing the Saraswati Veena. The efforts made to reduce carbon footprint were very obvious and greatly commendable.

Nice village comfort rooms.

Very nice village, with nice bungalow style rooms, and helpful and attentive staff.
But the food is horrible. There was a dinner buffet with dozen types of food but not single one of them was tasty.
We came after we visited CGH kochi that was amazing and had a lot of expectations so we were a bit disappointed.

The property is very creative and is truly a spice garden. Their activities, including afternoon tea and snacks are a delight. Their evening functions are wonderful with cooking classes and Indian dances.
However, there are small bugs and roaches in the room and even on the bed. There is no air-condition in the rooms and makes it hot and humid.

This property is one of the most unique places I’ve stayed in the world. All the different spice plants have an amazing scent in the air. It’s a hidden gem. The heritage style is also nice and preferable. I also checked Greenwoods, Elephant Court, and Cardamom County and this place was far superior price independent. A note for Hari the General Manager: the property images online do not show the true beauty of your place I suggest more pictures of the walkways and resort property.

A gem in the jungle. The property has a lovely tribal and colonial style and is eco conscious. It’s well located close to Periyar Tiger Park and shopping and massage facilities. The staff are wonderful and the food is good. Well worth the stay.

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.
