A charming property of individual bungalows, set in beautiful greenery. The pool is right at the top of the property, which might make access tricky for people having difficulty climbing stairs (also: sunbeds are laid out ready with 2 towels each, and that seems a little bit of a waste, given that people maybe stay for short periods by the pool and then they have to be washed without really being used?) There is a kind of moat to walk across to access the hotel, in which there are wonderful datura plants and some geese. If you walk out of the property to the right and then down one of the little lanes, you get to see some beautiful things, wild coffee, chilli and more. Generally the hotel can be a little chaotic, with check-in/out and breakfast orders but there is a charm that overrides that. Wi-Fi is erratic. Beds are very comfortable. We took the early boat on Lake Periyar, it was perhaps the least interesting venture we had during our stay.
