Poopada Resorts is a three star property on Kannan Devan Hills in Munnar, a hill town in Idukki district, South Kerala, 1 km from the centre of Munnar, about 15 minutes on foot. It holds a 3.4 out of 5 guest score from 547 reviews. The deciding factor is the setting: Munnar sits high, the roads are for walking, and the weather decides the season.
What the resort provides
Poopada Resorts is a three star property with a guest score of 3.4 out of 5 from 547 reviews. It lists a restaurant, breakfast, room service and special diet menus, so meals are covered on site. A 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, express check in, concierge and valet parking handle the arrivals and the small requests. Balcony, terrace, garden and picnic area give you somewhere to sit outside, and family rooms and non smoking rooms widen who can be accommodated.
For getting around, the listed facilities include car hire and a shuttle service. Free WiFi and a lift are listed, as are laundry and free parking. Fishing is among the facilities. Grouped together, these are the practical arrangements of a hill hotel rather than a resort with extensive grounds.
Where the resort sits
The address is Kannan Devan Hills, Munnar, a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub in South Kerala. The centre of Munnar is 1 km away, about 15 minutes on foot, so the restaurants and the bus stand are within a walk rather than a drive. Munnar is the highest well known hill destination in the state, with tea from 1,500 metres up to the grassland, laid over hills the Scots planted in the 1880s.
Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. This is hill country, and the setting is the reason most people come. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive from town and closes for calving in February and March. The estate roads are the best walking in the state, and almost nobody walks them, which makes the 15 minutes into Munnar unusually quiet.
Who the resort suits
Poopada Resorts suits travellers who want a base in Munnar town within walking distance of the centre, with meals, a front desk and transport arrangements handled on site. It suits families and anyone travelling by car. It does not suit travellers who want a remote estate stay far from town, or who expect a four or five star finish. The 3.4 out of 5 score from 547 reviews suggests a solid, ordinary property rather than a polished luxury one, and that is the honest expectation to bring.
Planning a stay
The season for Munnar runs September to May, when the light is clear and the estate roads are dry enough to walk. The heavy monsoon months bring closed in cloud and landslip risk, so plan around them. January mornings frost, which is worth knowing if you pack for a tropical lagoon ninety kilometres away. Book Eravikulam around the calving closure in February and March.

Questions people ask
How far is Poopada Resorts from Munnar town centre?
The property is 1 km from the centre of Munnar, about 15 minutes on foot. That puts the town's restaurants and shops within a short walk rather than a drive. It is the kind of distance that makes a car optional for evenings in town.
Does Poopada Resorts have a restaurant and breakfast?
Both a restaurant and breakfast are among the listed facilities, along with room service and special diet menus. That means you can eat at the property rather than going into town for every meal, which matters on wet or cold mornings in the hills.
What is the guest score for Poopada Resorts?
The property holds a guest score of 3.4 out of 5 from 547 reviews. No other score is on file. The figure points to a functional, well used hotel rather than a luxury one, and it is worth weighing against the three star rating.
When is the best time to stay in Munnar?
September to May is the season. The heavy monsoon months bring closed in cloud and landslip risk, so travel in that window is less predictable. January mornings frost, and Eravikulam closes for calving in February and March, both worth planning around.
