Amritara Shalimar Spice Garden Resort & Spa

Beautiful grounds and stunning approach as you enter the resort from the hustle and bustle. Staff were super friendly and helpful and the facilities were lovely, same as most of the rooms. The food too was good quality and varied.

We had a wonderful family stay at the Amritara Shalimar this April. The location is absolutely fantastic, in the middle of nature surrounded by lush green trees and plants. We enjoyed our 4 nights at the resort. The food was delicious, and the aryuvedic treatments were professional. The staff helped us to arrange transportation and activitivities. Special thanks to Sneha for all her efforts and care. We also enjoyed the show if traditional dances from Tamil Nadu, which was performed during the weekend.

Loved everything about this place. We stayed in 5 hotels during our holiday and this was our favourite by miles. You are immersed in the lush green surroundings of all the trees and can just listen to nature doing its thing. If I could have stayed longer I would, it just made me not want to leave. The staff worked so hard constantly maintaining the grounds. Because it is designed on a hill it is even more interesting and the design is so clever, using the natural landscape. Our room was lovely with a very comfortable bed and a plunge pool in the garden (though it was more like a warm bath). The food in the restaurant was delicious. There are lots of activities locally at the tiger reserve and we also went and watched the martial arts show which was amazing. I would come back to this place in a heartbeat.

We visited Thekaddy for two nights to visit the nature reserve so didn't spend much time at the hotel which was a pity. It is a beautiful hotel in a great setting; lovely grounds. The staff were amazing, particularly the reception and restaurant staff. The room was great and the pool, although small was so refreshing. We ate both nights there and the food was fantastic. Beer available when it was beer o'clock time. Breakfast excellent. On our way to the hotel I had a problem booking the nature reserve. I contacted the hotel and they sorted it all out for me as well as booking a tuk tuk - fantastic

Had a lovely stay at the Shalimar really nice being in the middle of a forested area with all the pepper and cardamon growing around us. The gardens are very pretty and the pool (chilly) is refreshing! Our bungalow was very nice and well equipped with fridge and tea coffee, toiletries etc. Food was delicious and inexpensive. I used the spa which was nice but it is basic so don’t expect it to be in the style of a uk spa. Staff were very nice and helpful especially restaurant chap and reception. We also used the laundry service and that was all fine.
