The location and value for money are definitely the highlights of this resort. The views from the rooms are absolutely mesmerizing, and the property is conveniently located close to several key viewpoints and mountain tops, making it a great base for exploring the area. The staff are friendly, candid, and genuinely kind, which adds to the overall experience. Cleanliness is generally good, although there is certainly room for improvement. One thing to be aware of is that the rooms are not well soundproofed. Conversations and other noises from neighboring rooms can be heard quite clearly, so light sleepers may want to keep this in mind. The food is fairly average, but fortunately, the resort's location means there are several good dining options within walking distance. Amenities at the property itself are limited, but given the beautiful surroundings and easy access to nearby attractions, I wouldn't consider that a major drawback if your main purpose is to explore and enjoy the mountains. Overall, a good-value stay with spectacular views and an excellent location. With better soundproofing, improved cleanliness, and a little more attention to the food, the experience could be significantly better.

Beautiful Location with Helpful Staff We stayed at Shola Crown Resort and were truly impressed by its serene location and the stunning infinity pool—a perfect place to unwind with breathtaking views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering a peaceful escape. A big shoutout to the staff and restaurant team—they were amazing and very helpful throughout our stay, always ready to assist with a smile. However, there are a few areas where improvement is needed. The lack of an elevator made it difficult for elderly guests to use the stairs. The parking area is also a bit far, though not a major issue. One disappointment was the food pricing—we felt it was quite costly for the quality offered. Also, we booked via MakeMyTrip, where the balcony view wasn't specified clearly. We were given a backside room with a limited view. I recommend calling the resort directly before booking to request a front-facing room, as those views are truly fantastic. All in all, it’s a beautiful resort with warm hospitality, but make sure to clarify details in advance for a better experience.

Mixed Experience at Shola Crown: A Blend of Nature and Challenges I recently stayed at Shola Crown with my family, and while the experience had its memorable moments, it also came with a few setbacks. Pros: Stunning Location: Nestled amidst the mesmerizing shola forests, often wrapped in mist, offering a breathtaking chill in the air. Spectacular Views: Room A5 offered a serene view of the Shola forest mountains. Friendly Staff: The staff, from the porter to the manager, were extremely helpful and attentive, ensuring our comfort. Prompt Housekeeping: Housekeeping was efficient and responsive. Adventure Opportunity: The staff arranged a jeep safari, an adventurous highlight for nature and wilderness lovers (those with back issues should exercise caution) . Kid-Friendly: The backyard play area, resembling a forest adventure, was a big hit with the kids, offering them a safe and fun way to engage with nature. Good Food Quality: The food served at the restaurant was tasty, albeit on the pricier side. Cons: Difficult Access: The entrance from the main road is challenging due to a hairpin bend and blind spots for oncoming traffic, especially when approaching from Munnar. No Elevator: The lack of an elevator made it difficult for elderly family members to navigate the stairs. Rooms: The rooms, while neat, showed signs of wear and tear and felt overdue for renovation. A well-executed refurbishment could significantly elevate the guest experience. Overpriced: The room pricing felt high for the value provided. Underwhelming Meals: The breakfast spread was limited and bland, with requests for items like cheese omelets declined. The buffet dinner also lacked variety. Frequent Power Cuts: Power cuts during our stay added to the inconvenience. Poorly Planned Layout: The hotel’s layout felt uncoordinated, with a hostel/lodge-like vibe in certain areas. Recommendation: A well-planned renovation would significantly enhance the appeal of this property and make it a more favorable destination. While nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts may find charm in its location, those seeking modern amenities and seamless convenience might want to consider other options. Final Thoughts: If you’re someone who loves the tranquility of the mountains, enjoys the misty charm of the forests, and appreciates good service, this hotel is worth considering. However, be prepared for its shortcomings, especially if you’re traveling with elderly family members or have high expectations for food variety. Had I known about these issues beforehand, I might have reconsidered booking this property. That said, nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts will likely appreciate its charm, but it’s not a place for everyone. Would I return? Perhaps, but only for the stunning location, the warm hospitality, and the unforgettable natural beauty.
