The Cool Resort is a 3 star property on NH 47 Road at Mangulam Junction, outside Munnar in Idukki district, South Kerala. It lists free WiFi, a restaurant, parking, laundry, non smoking rooms and room service. A guest score of 4.6 from 4269 reviews is on file. It suits travellers who want a quiet base for the Munnar hills with meals and parking handled on site, and who do not need to be in the town centre.

What The Cool Resort offers

The Cool Resort is a three star hotel on NH 47 Road at Mangulam Junction. The facilities listed are practical rather than extensive: free WiFi, a restaurant, parking, laundry, non smoking rooms and room service. For a hill stay, that combination covers the main needs, since meals can be taken at the property without driving into town, laundry is handled if you are midway through a longer trip, and parking is available if you arrive by car.

The guest score of 4.6 out of 5 comes from 4269 reviews, a substantial number for a property in this area. That score suggests a level of consistency that is not always found at this star rating. Room service and non smoking rooms are worth noting if you prefer to keep the room as a quiet base. No other facilities are on record, so it is best to plan around what is listed.

Where the property sits

The address is Nh 47 Road, Mangulam Junction, Kallar Vattiyar Post Office, Munnar 685611, Kerala, in Idukki district, South Kerala. The setting is outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, and the hotel is 9.9 km from the centre of Munnar. Munnar itself is a town in Idukki district and a tourism hub, so the property sits close enough for access to the town while remaining outside its centre.

The destination is Munnar, a hill area at 1,500 to 2,695 m. Tea grows 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. The property is inland, in the high country, with the road and the junction as its immediate surroundings.

Who this hotel suits

The Cool Resort suits travellers who want a straightforward, well reviewed base outside Munnar and have their own transport or are content to rely on the road. It is a good fit for families or couples who value on site meals, parking and laundry, and who are happy with a 3 star property that scores highly with past guests. It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the centre of Munnar, since it is 9.9 km from the centre, or who expects a full resort range of facilities. The listed facilities are limited to free WiFi, a restaurant, parking, laundry, non smoking rooms and room service.

When to plan a stay

The season for Munnar runs from September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, which can affect travel in the hills. January mornings can frost here, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive away and closes for calving in February and March. If either the frost or the park closure matters to you, check the timing before you commit.
