Munnar


Away from the Munnar town bustle just south of the main bus station, Royal Retreat is an average but reliable and perfectly comfortable midranger with trim ground-level rooms facing a pretty garden and others with tea-plantation views, plus professional service and a decent multicuisine restaurant.
