We went to Carmelia Haven last week. I would like to mention the good things and the areas of improvement needed. Things which we liked - 1) The individual deluxe cottages facing the swimming pool were too good. Very spacious room, Queen Size Bed, Spacious bathroom, Open bath facility, transparent bathroom made of glass. 2) Lot of space inside the... More

Many horrible things to share: 1) We stayed in rooms called as "Suite". These rooms are horrible and pathetic. You get a feeling of a dorm. Even in dorm's, when you step out you dont enter into any shop. Here your room directly opens into this property's shopping area. Never go by "Suite" word and opt for these rooms. 2)... More

We had booked the tree house, and requested for the larger tree house, but as it was unfortunately under maintenance, we were offered the smaller one. My family finally vitoed against the tree house. Management was kind enough to immediately accommodate us in Jacuzzi Villa (maybe due to off season), which was the best thing that happened to us. The... More

Mist, fragrance and flavor of cardamom will make the stay in this resort a pleasant experience. The rooms and cottages are surrounded by tea and cardamom plantation. Early morning you will be welcomed by chirping of a variety of birds. Employees are very cordial and helpful.

We were pleasantly surprised by the warmth of hospitality shown by the staff of Carmelia, doubled with a charming and well maintained farm resort. Great place for staying away from maddening crowd. One can expect a relaxing holiday, great cuisine in a tropical upland farm environment. The property is full of spice plantations, with many tropical fruit trees, from which... More

The resort is in a good location and the climate was quite pleasant. The table tennis court was nice, and the pool was also nice! Rooms were decent esp the jacuzzi cottages... the tree house was quite small but then again that's understandable. The transparent bathrooms were a weird feature though :-) We had a look at the honeymoon cottage.... More

This resort is a long way from periyar tiger reserve.It is about 33Km from Thekkady town. It was an excellent resort. The plantations were awesome.Completely isolated from any sort of civilization.The accommodations are nice, simple and tastefully decorated rooms and nice grounds. The staff are friendly and helpful.

We were 3 families with kids to visit this resort. And we found out that the place is indeed VERY calm and quiet. And very beautiful. But it has no activities to get your kids involved with. The forest trail was good experience, but that was the only activity that we could find. The rates were more than a 5*... More
