We (me and my wife) stayed at the Cardamom County for a couple of days while returning from Thekkady and absolutely enjoyed the place. Thekkady might be the bigger brother but Kumily with all its sweetness and cozyness makes up for a great location. Antilog Vacations had booked the Cardamom, a resort named after the Cardamom Hills located nearby at the border of the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. As evident from the name, the spices are quite popular here.
We were greeted by exceedingly gracious staff who were all quite obliging and looked very interested to know how our journey was and whether we faced any issues in locating the resort or not. Our rooms were ready at the onset and the butler immediately carried our bags to our room. The reception area had a large poster of the nearby hills and the tea and coffee plantation have a pretty picturesque symmetry which we saw in the course of our stay.
The resort was impeccably spotless and had a nice odour. The room we got was in the first floor and at around 450 sq ft of space it was roomy and very comfy. The monkeys on the roof terrace of the restaurant were such that you could fall in love with them as apart from being amusing and friendly they did not disturb the guests at all and kept the people engaged with their idiosyncrasies. The fruit bats were another interesting aspect of the resort as we saw them for the first time and the bamboo trees converse to the resort was their abode in the evenings.
We would recommend the Lord's Spice shop in the opposite road for spices related issues as the shop had a wide variety and they had some tie up with the resort. The staff seemed genuine and was not the typical salesmen types. ☺
