Thekkady - Woods n Spice

The hotel is right next to the Wildlife Preserve, so its very green and leafy there. The monkeys were hanging out and the pool was pretty.

The bathroom had an odor. We left the door open in the hope that the odor would go away but to no avail. Please make sure there is not a serious issue such as a sewer leak. WiFi connection in the room required an Indian cell phone number. The staff tried to help us by using their local phones but this didn't work for all 3 people in our group

Good. Overall nice and comfortable stay even though we had difficulty climbing stairs from the restaurant. Ambience is good.

The location, trees and forest background was good. Then furnishing in the room (402) was poor, in the toilet worse. The glass stand for toiletries was fixed just over the wash basin , so that when we wash teeth and spit we do so directly on the glass stand (:. The restaurant is just 42 steps down to go and come up after eating(:. The sterling rip off is at the Spa. Two tea spoons of cold un-medicated oil applied by a mouth-less personality, whom explains nothing even when asked and session starts 15 minutes late and ends 15 minutes earlier with a cold water bath. Good Value for Rs.2000/- The second sterling ripoff is the extra bed - which should be a folding iron cot with an 8" bed- but is a 4' narrow bed thrown on the floor for a small fee of Rs.1775/- Value for money indeed.
