Stayed in single cottage in Thenmala ecofriendly Hormuz nest on 24th and 25th of November 2024.
The stay was really pleasant. We would rate 5 stars for the stay
Location
--------------
Although it is called Thenmala ecofriendly Hormuz nest, the location is actually closer to the Palaruvi waterfalls, about 10 km away from Thenmala. While cars can easily access the spot, larger vehicles may find it somewhat difficult to navigate.
Property
--------------
The property features around 11 cottages, including some double cottages with two rooms and separate bathrooms, as well as single cottages. There is also a dormitory option for group gatherings. Located in a serene area, the property offers a peaceful atmosphere, with a small stream flowing nearby, enhancing the tranquility and scenic views. Ample parking space is available, and a convenient perk is that guests can park their vehicles right next to their cottages, eliminating the need to carry their belongings back and forth. The view from the room was also very good.
Climate
-------------
The temperature in November is moderate, and the regular breeze ensures that the heat is not felt.
Best time to visit this place is from September to January.
Distance to nearby attractions
------------------------------------------------
The property is situated approximately 10 km from the Thenmala Ecotourism spot, 2 km from the entrance to Palaruvi waterfalls, 15 km from Rosemala, and 25 km from Coutralam waterfalls.
Service
------------
The best part of the resort is its excellent service. We had a wonderful stay thanks to the staff. Special thanks to Mansoor and Ashokan for the valuable information and outstanding service they provided.
Food
--------
The food is prepared according to our orders. The staff was very welcoming when taking our lunch order before arrival via phone call, and the food was ready on time when we reached the property. Dinner was also available based on our preferences. Breakfast, which was included in the package, featured Idiyappam and Appam. However, in-room amenities like electric kettle and tea boxes are not available, so we had to request morning coffee. Overall, the food quality was excellent.
Facilities available
-------------------------------
Campfire facilities are available upon request, with a charge of approximately 1800 Rs. They also arrange jeeps for hikes to Rosemala. There is also a small sized pool present in the property
