Hotels near St. Mariya Gorethi Syro Malabar Church, Idukki

We had a pleasant stay in Pleasant Hill Resort 😉 the food was just amazing and always fresh prepared for us! The service was superior. We booked gorgeous trips nearby and a bit more far away from the hotel to view points for sunset, sunrise and many more. We want to highlight the amazing view from the balcony! The rooms and the pool were clean and get cleaned daily!

Entire property and atmosphere is pleasant and natural friendly. We had booked dulex mountain view rooms that is a standard rooms for 3 night stay and these rooms are quite okay in terms of interior and arrangement but due to wooden furniture and interior use rooms are quite musty. Rooms don’t have ac and not required either as nature has its own cool and pleasant weather. Staff is attentive and service is good. I found location quite far from the munnar market place.

Pros: all balconies with stunning views nice places inside property for a short walk, sit and enjoy scenic beauty staff are very attentive and service oriented and brand new and neat property. Cons: location of property is on a isolated steep mountain, you cannot simply go for a quick walk outside the hotel as it's dangerous, slippery and long away from nearest town center. Also, far away from all munnar tourist spots( to visit a nearest view point and to visit other tourist spots you must come out 18kms and go 18kms while returning) for context, we wanted to roam around town and try local food in the evening so we had to book a cab that costed 1000 for 2 hours as hotel is remote and on a hill. You must book taxi for whole day for 8-10 hours for less expensive and comfortable commute. Food is fresh but tastes less than average and expensive. Though they are giving 20% discount on lunch and dinner ala carte, portion is less than an average indian meal for two. There is no buffet in lunch and dinner too. Definitely not for someone who wants to try regional cuisine. Construction works are head banging and this may not be in future as property is only 5-6 months old. No centralized ac and ac was mounted at least 6 feet away from the bed in a different direction. If you visit on warmer months like us in march, keep all doors closed and curtains drawn, blocking the great view outside and blast ac for throughout the day else you get sweat and don't expect to sleep at nights. In a nutshell, viceroy in ellackal(not munnar) has a great view, good staff and service, average food, poor location and a pathetic property planning.
