Hillon Resorts

Hillon Resorts is a three star property in Chinnakanal, a village in Idukki district, South Kerala, 17.6 km from the centre of Munnar. It holds a guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 175 reviews. The listed facilities are a 24 hour front desk and a cafe. The score and the setting are what decide whether it is right for you.

What Hillon Resorts provides

Hillon Resorts is a three star property and its strengths are practical rather than extensive. A 24 hour front desk means arrivals and departures can happen at any hour, and help is available through the night. The cafe on site covers simple meals and drinks without leaving the property. Those two items are the whole of the listed facilities, so the property does not set out to be a self contained resort in the usual sense.

The guest score is the more telling detail: 4.5 out of 5 from 175 reviews. A score at that level from a substantial number of reviews suggests that the rooms, the service and the general running of the place satisfy most people who stay. It is the strongest single signal here, and it is worth weighing alongside the limited facilities when you decide.

Where the property sits

Hillon Resorts is in Chinnakanal, outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district of South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and it is 17.6 km from the centre of Munnar to the property. That places the hotel in the countryside that surrounds the town rather than in the town itself.

The district is inland and hilly. Being outside the centre means the immediate surroundings are quieter and more open than the town, but it also means that anything you want from Munnar involves a drive of 17.6 km. If your plans centre on the town, that distance is the practical fact to plan around; if they centre on the landscape, the location works in your favour.

Who it suits and who it does not

Hillon Resorts suits travellers who want a quiet, inland base outside Munnar and are content with a cafe and a 24 hour front desk as the on site provisions. It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the middle of Munnar, expects a full resort with many facilities, or prefers everything within reach of the property. The 4.5 out of 5 from 175 reviews is the reason to consider it.

Planning your stay

Before booking, confirm with the property what the cafe serves and when, since that is the only food and drink provision stated. Confirm that the 24 hour front desk will be staffed when you arrive, especially for a late arrival. Ask what transport is available for the 17.6 km to Munnar, and check what the room includes, because the listing gives no detail beyond the star rating and the two facilities.

What is the guest score for Hillon Resorts?

The guest score is 4.5 out of 5 from 175 reviews. A score at that level from that number of reviews is a useful signal, though it is not a substitute for confirming room details with the property.

Is Hillon Resorts a good base for exploring Idukki district?

It can be, if you are happy to drive. The hotel is in Chinnakanal, 17.6 km from the centre of Munnar, so Munnar and the surrounding area are reachable by road. Guests who prefer to stay in the town itself would find the location less convenient.
