"Spice Village is located in Thekkady, Kerala, close to the Periyar Tiger Reserve. It is an eco-resort with 52 cottages spread out in about 12 acres of spice gardens. We were greeted by the friendly staff with a handmade paper necklace and fruit drinks, after which we were escorted to the cottages through the meandering paths. These cottages have elephant grass thatched-roof, built in traditional style of the dwellings of the local Mannan tribe. All the cottages are properly numbered and is easy to locate. There are two types of cottages - Spice Garden Cottage and the more spacious Deluxe Cottage with a private garden. We stayed in Spice Garden Cottage, which has a very large room and a living area. Interior was eco-friendly and had no air-conditioning. Though it had a ceiling fan, we didn’t have to use it, as it was pretty cool inside. It had a red-oxide-floored verandah, recycled pinewood furniture and organic toiletries. Bathrobes, hairdryers as well as shaving and dental kits were provided. As there is no TV in the room, it provides a peaceful environment suitable for relaxation and it also encourages the guests to engage with various in-house activities. The Woodhouse Lounge bar was very interesting with lot of old-time photographs and some antiques used by A.W. Wood, the first ranger of Periyar National Park, who resided here before. The bar offers a wide range of drinks and cocktails. There is also a billiards table inside the bar. Tamarind Tree restaurant offers global and local fare. Breakfast was buffet and had a satisfactory spread. For lunch, the South Indian thali or Kerala Sadhya was served, which was sumptuous and filling. An a la carte menu is also available for lunch and dinner. Menu caters to almost every taste and I really enjoyed the non-vegetarian dishes, especially the mutton and pork dishes. There is also live music played at night. There are plenty of activities to keep you engaged inside the property itself. While visiting the water recycling plant, vermicompost plant etc. during the guided tour of the property, the guide explained the eco-friendly practices of the resort, which was very informative and educational. During this property tour, the guide also introduced us to the flora and fauna inside the property. The tour ends at the café where you are served afternoon tea and snacks. Every day evening there is a demo cooking class in Tamarind restaurant and cultural programs in the amphitheater. The resort offers amenities like a swimming pool, a yoga and meditation center, an Ayurveda center, a recreation center, and a nature interpretation center. For active guests, there are badminton, tennis, and half basketball courts. The staff were friendly and very helpful in all areas – be it in the front office, restaurant, bar, housekeeping or the guides, especially, Mr. Francis, who took us around the property. Though the place looks very simple, it is well equipped with all amenities and is a fusion of luxury"
