My stay at Ecoland was truly delightful, surrounded by stunning nature and amazing experiences. The tree house we stayed in was charming and worth every penny. The hospitality from Muthu uncle and his family added a personal touch to our visit. The only downside was the distance from Munnar's main tourist spots, which might not be ideal for those looking to explore extensively. Overall, it's a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway and great value for money.

The retreat offers a unique experience with its charming tree houses and serene natural surroundings. While the service from the staff was remarkable, ensuring a comfortable stay, the overall maintenance of the property left something to be desired, especially in the reception area and the tree house itself, which appeared unclean and shabby in places. Additionally, be mindful of accessibility if you are traveling with older guests, as the terrain can be a bit challenging.

Staying at the tree house was an incredible experience, fully immersed in nature and tranquility. The location is quite hard to beat, surrounded by lush forests and away from city life, perfect for those looking to escape hustle and bustle. The rooms provide a unique charm but don't expect too much luxury. The service was commendable, with a courteous staff ensuring our needs were met. However, the lack of mobile network coverage and limited dining options outside the resort might be a consideration for some.

My stay was an absolute delight amidst nature's beauty, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The service was personalized and attentive, which made our experience truly memorable. However, the accessibility to the Rock House can be a challenge, especially in wet conditions, and I would advise caution. While the rooms were basic and might not cater to everyone's comfort, the food options during breakfast were diverse and included some local specialties.
