Blackberry Hills Munnar - Nature Resort & Spa

The upside
Views and birdlife were amazing
Room was ok decent bed and decent washroom

The downside
Property is not walkable at all. The steps are high, uneven, with stones sticking out and few places to hold while ascending and descending steep areas.
The only restaurant is down a steep descent. Since the property is in a remote area this is the only eating option.
Breakfast buffet was below average.
The property overall has a rundown look to it. The entrance road is in disrepair.

Mycket fint hotell med jättetrevlig personal. God mat och frukost. Väldigt bra prisvärda behandlingar i hotellets SPA. Ingick daglig morgon-yoga klockan 7 före frukosten. Väldigt basic men skönt. Underbara vyer från hotellet. Flertalet apor samt många sjungande fåglar på hotellområdet.

Otroligt härligt ställe. Otrolig natur. Personalen supertrevliga. Gratis yoga före frukost. Mycket god mat på restaurangen med bra priser.
Receptionen väldigt hjälpsamma med olika bokningar. Trekking mm. Vaknade till fågelsång varje morgon. Många apor som lekte i träden på området! Ingen alkohol serverades vilket var skönt.

Would have liked to spend more time

Beautiful property with mind blowing scenery. Property has a cute restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everyone in staff is always smiling and are ready to help. There's something for everyone at Blackberry Resort.

Charming, eco-friendly, very quiet place. Excellent food, attentive service. This is an ideal place to unwind, enjoy nature, meditate and be at peace. Cottages require a bit of a rugged, steep walk as they are hewn into the cliff - but then you are rewarded with great view over the Ghat mountains

Fabulous views. Exceptional birdlife. Friendly helpful staff

The resort staffs and the location were outstanding.Me and my family had an excellent time. I loved the herbal drink that was offered at the reception upon arrival. The view and the landscape was mind blowing and enjoyed walking around the resort and sitting around the campfire. Didn't get a chance to do hiking during this trip. Will try next time :)

Nice property and friendly staff.

Perfect location, amazing view. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. Staff go out of their way to make sure the visitors have everything and are happy. We had to catch a taxi at 4am and they will get up for us and provide lunch packages. The restaurant is very nice, we enjoyed the food a lot. Also the treatments in the spa were very relaxing.

The location is phenomenal and views are nice. Very peaceful.

The food is lousy as its just north Indian mainly for dinner and I didn't come to kerala and not try local food. Was a very big let down.

This is an extraordinary place in all aspects. Our cottage had a great interior design with plenty of living space, was well maintained and felt luxurious. The towels were properly clean and the complimentary toiletries were ayurvedic premium products. Waking up to the sound of birds and having a coffee on a shaded balcony overlooking tall trees and the valley in the background was pure bliss. The staff were genuinely friendly. The gardens, views and birds were spectacular.

Great location, fabulous views, Eco-friendly, delicious food and attentive staff.

Staying at Blackberry was truly a treat. Room 401 was the best room with great views. We were then in early Feb and were able to experience morning mist and chirping birds. It is a small resort with a nice restaurant and great friendly staff. Bit of a walk to the rooms but scenery around makes it worth while.
Trek to the mountains is tedious so make sure you are in good shape. Over all great experience and was worth every penny.

Blackberry Hills is an excellent and relaxing hotel. The staff can’t do enough to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The setting in Munnar is unbeatable on hillside overlooking tea plantation. Would certainly recommend to family and friends visiting the area.

Amazing setting, well appointed rooms, helpful staff, nature at your doorstep.
Need to be able to walk up and down as it is on a side of a mountain.
Access for large vehicles (e.g., vans) only available during daytime and road is not in the best shape.
Wifi available but for limited devices per room.

Good and calm place to stay. Well maintained resort... Next to beautiful scenes of hills.

Blackberry Hills is tucked into hilly acres of tea plantations--views just gorgeous. The resort itself is built on a hill so that every activity is either up a steep hill or down one. There is no flat walking path. However, the native flowers and beautiful grounds make it perfectly satisfactory to sit on your deck or patio enjoying the scenery. The food was excellent. The staff was totally attentive, eager to make your stay enjoyable. A new "resort" is going in next door. It will not block the views, but while the construction is going on, there are signs of a construction sight. This is only temporary. Blackberry Hills: very relaxing.

Med familjen för att uppleva Munnar

What went well:
1. The resort was beautiful with spectacular views that was worth what I paid for
2. Would highly recommend the Hornbill restaturant. Service and food were great
3. Everyone seemed eager to help and make our stay an enjoyable one


What did not go so well:
1. WiFi was advertised, but never worked. So we were without any internet for a couple of days (cellphone internet is highly spotty here)
2. When we had to come back, we asked for a cab at 9 AM, but the cab did not show up until 10:30 AM, after much back and forth. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress which gave me a bad feeling after a great 2 day stay. Management needs to improve on this front. Or they need to have their own shuttles to the airport (or local areas). Currently they rely on local cabs for all this.
3. Great as a honeymoon destination. Not much to do for kids and families in the local area on in the resort.
