Hidden Gem in Thekkady Forests
Pros:

The property is simply fabulous. The first impression whenyou enter the property is amazing. You cross over a bridge to reach reception. Enroute there are stairs to access bird zones. Rich lush green all over, lili pods, swans, etc.

We stayed with family of teens and elderly parents. We had booked huts. The rooms were very comfortable and had all facilities you would expect.
The nature and spice garden were truly amazing.
Two suggestions for improvements
1. Only one downside is that to contact reception from room is a challange. No one responds when you call.
2. The checkout time is 10:30 am which is too early.

Overall worth every penny

A gem amidst the spices
Pros:

We loved the Spice Garden. It is a beautiful property set amidst hillsides growing cardamom and pepper, with attractive buildings and blossoming gardens. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful. And the local activities are great - we enjoyed a visit to a tea plantation and a wonderful walk in the Periyar nature reserve, both booked through the hotel. We would stay there again if we come back.

Pros:

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.

Awesome Property !
Pros:

It was an excellent property nested in nature. Very well designed and furnished, our 2 cottages, one with a pool and other with a large patio were a treat to stay in.

Pros:

Our stay at Shalimar Spice Garden was the highlight of our time in South India--we only wish we had booked more than just two nights! The setting is idyllic, the staff is lovely, the food is delicious, and overall it is an island of beauty and serenity. We cannot recommend it highly enough!

Excellent.
Pros:

Excellent. wonderful location. The Nature walk around the property is a must! Friendly staff. Very pretty hotel and good service. The 'Tiger Reserve' was a bit of a disappointment but still a nice visit but what really makes this place is the lovely town of Kumily and the Spice gardens all around. Wonderful. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great hotel in the midst of a spice garden
Pros:

This medium sized hotel has roof thatched cottages at different levels. The hotel has its own spice garden, beautiful birds and animals. The surroundings are really serene and calming. The rooms are very aesthetic and you can sit out in your private verandah and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The restaurant too is pretty and serves good food. It is also close to a tiger sanctuary and an elephant farm. One can visit and enjoy elephant rides. The staff at the hotel are very helpful and service oriented. We really enjoyed staying in this hotel.

Only for the nature lover
Pros:

The fan wasn't working in the room we were shown, so we were upgraded to a cottage. The room was tidy but felt spartan since there was no TV, air conditioning or WiFi. I understood that they were trying to keep it minimalistic since the resort is located in the woods and they want to wake up the nature lover in each customer. The walk around the garden was very nice and the ambience was serene. This would be a good place to stay if getting disconnected from the rest of the world doesn't bother you.

Unassuming gateway to paradise
Pros:

Must say this was a surprise package in my Kerela trip, although i got to stay there for 1 night, but the place truly deserves a lengthy stay. Beautiful and serene surroundings, great massages, absolutely courteous staff, just perfect comfort in the rooms, limited but delicious servings, what more one can ask for?

At home in the lap of nature
Pros:

It was a nice stay in Spice garden.All the services are excellent in the resort.There Chef's are too good and they didn't make you feel that you came to south as they are expert in every regional dish.It's a value for money resort and the staff are polite and gentle.
