    Wow Elekai is one of the most amazing places we have stayed. Everything was perfect, location, ambience, property and Bilto the Chef's food was amazing (Michelin standard). Sajeev the facilities manager was so accommodating and takes such pride in the property and wants everything to be perfect for the guests. If you are ever visiting Munnar, please put this on your bucket list, you wont be dissapointed.

    Absolutely beautiful home in the middle of a cardamom plantation. Stunning. We used this house to decompress and catch up on work after being in North India for a few weeks. It was a perfect place to relax. The food was exquisite and the staff could not have been more kind!

    I planned our trip to Kerala around the availability of this property and it exceeded our expectations. The property is large, spacious and beautifully furnished. The views across the valley are stunning and the birdsong in the early morning is wonderful. The housekeeping staff are great and the chef will prepare the most delicious food. This is a very special property for those who prefer to stay a little out of town. Absolutely fantastic stay.

    There were very few things to dislike but rather suggestions to create an increase in customer satisfaction: • Small touches like: mosquito candles for outside/ additional games for kids or maybe create a “spot the insect/animal activity (small paper exercise) to keep child entertained/ guide to the local area. • Location - although a beauty property, the location and access to the property can be tricky with uphill entry. Automatic vehicles should be avoided.

    The property has been designed to an exceptional finish and provides ample space to enjoy your stay. The quality of the furnishing and large sliding windows make for an enjoyable stay. The resident caretaker, Sajeev was outstanding and so attentive and support to our family (and our driver) during the stay. The chef was also incredible - serving up some great dishes and tailoring to our palates/tastes.

    It's isolated place in dense nature and little scary for small families with small kids after 6 pm. It depends if you are used to the jungle like stay. I would rather choose to stay near City or crowded place with small kids and small family.

    Lavish rooms and hall with amazing views. Staff is very nice and courteous and accomodating and hard working. Food is amazing and nature filled stay.

    We loved our stay, nothing to complain about.

    Elakai is located a little less than an hour drive from Munnar. The villa is in the midst of a cardamom plantation. We were warmly welcomed by Anoop, the manager who showed us the most beautiful property with the most gorgeous view. There are 2 very spacious bedrooms + bathrooms and a giant living room - perfect for the 6 of us. The property was kept nice and clean by Ahmed. While staying there, Anoop took us on a couple of walks, through the cardamom plantations to a nearby tea plantation, dam and forest. He answered our many questions with lots of patience. On top of that, he was always happy to help with our little requests. When we were not sightseeing, we spent our time eating delicious food prepared by Dinto. It was the perfect place to enjoy unwind in nature on the deck - or if you’re up to it - challenge yourself to explore and hike around the area.

    Very minor suggestions....like a dressing table or a full mirror would be very handy for women especially....and a better way to get hot water since the current system of waiting for hot water leads to a lot of wastage of water.

    Very tastefully and passionately done property...Location is perfect for people who want to stay away from the hustle and bustle....beautiful view and the place is ideal for those too who are fond of bird watching....I could see so many birds ....The property manager Anoop was extremely gracious host and made sure every requirement was catered to...Food was good too ....

    -Location is about 1 hour driving from Munnar. -It is located high on the mountain, but the view is obscured by heavy long trees. -The entrance way to the property is narrow and sandy. -The ceiling is not concrete, the nights we stayed, too much noises from windy weather, we could not sleep properly.

    Property building and decoration. Welcoming staff. Welcoming chief.
