Sterling Munnar was serene, beautiful and we can easily call it home away from home. We had a memorable time at the resort because of the effort of the team. The food quality of the resort is amongst the best in the country. Mr Pradeep at the Planters Kitchen is an asset to the team. He ensured all our food choices were met and fulfilled. He checked on us to ensure we were comfortable and were having a good time. His suggestions and his proactive attitude will make us return to the resort more often. Thank You Mr Pradeep we wish you the best. Mr Yogesh Mehta makes efforts and ensures each guest gets their choices fulfilled. Krishnaja and Asiya at the front desk are courteous, helpful and they ensured we had a speedy check in and smooth check out. The Discovery Central team curated experiences for us. We had an insightful bird watching session with Mr Tahir. Mr Tahir and Mr Shyam arranged our local travel plans. We had a fun bonfire with Mr Christopher. The housekeeping team is very prompt. We thank Mr Thirupatih , Mr Siva G and Mr Sivakumar for ensuring our rooms were impeccably clean they were very creative with the towel art which warmed our hearts every time we entered our rooms. Sterling Munnar is highly recommended and we can’t wait to be back soon.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
House keeping staff kept the rooms impeccably clean. They added personal touches with their skilful display at towel art. The use of glass bottles instead of single use plastic bottles is commendable. The front desk and the reception staff were very efficient, friendly and helpful. The F&B manager Mr. Yogesh Mehta and his team sprung into action and expertly whipped up Karimeen Pollichathu, a succulent fish enveloped by an array of masala, spices wrapped in banana leaf, distinctive to the region. It was a wonder to witness endless trays of the very popular Manchurian chicken being devoured! Sterling Munnar treated us as special guests and touched our hearts with the grand display of presenting us with gifts of tea, nuts and of course the very personalized complimentary dinner. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

We recently stayed in Sterling Resorts, Munnar; in one of their apartments. The apartment had a living room and a bedroom. The rooms were spacious and clean. The apartments have been thoughtfully constructed at different levels so that privacy is maintained and that the rooms are always bathed in sunshine. Hot water was also readily and abundantly available in the taps at all times.
The whole property is well maintained and spread out with a lot of trees. The views that one gets from the property are good. One can also get to see several species of birds in the property. The mornings are truly mesmerizing in the property as it is engulfed with several ‘musical’ bird calls.
The food was also extremely tasty. The staff were also very courteous and there was no issue in mobile connectivity.
I highly recommend this place – you will not be disappointed.

Overall such a wonderful experience. Starting with the location which is right next to Devikulam / Chinnakanal Reserve Forest. The western ghats feel , the diversity of food , the lovely cottages , wonderful food makes it a wonderful value for money package. Inspite of heavy rush the staff did their best to manage things. What we loved most apart from food was the quality of house keeping services which was timely & prompt . Offcourse the activity centre managed by Thahir was the icing in the cake. A trained naturalist himself , Thahir & his colleague Christopher / others manage the activities so well. The Bird watching just inside the resort itself you can see some 30 odd species of birds which are endemic to Western Ghats. This was topped up with the last day easy trek to Seethadevi lake which was like you are deep inside a tropical forest but so close to the resort. Thats where Thahir's true passion and knowledge came out and what was supposed to be 2 hours trek extended to almost 3 hours . We spotted wild elephant dung / signs of recent elephant movements , fresh leopard scat , deer dropping , a lovely forest waterfall and finally the divine Seethadevi lake. For us everything else in Munnar can be missed but the Eravikulam National Park & this trek. Thahir is a true asset to Sterling Resorts team , wishing him & everyone in Sterling happy new year 2024

Though tightly staffed, the staff handled reunion demands (of 120) guests very well.
The food, spread and taste, was good.
The dining hall was large, with ample seating. Everyone could get a place to eat.
The rooms were large. My room had a nice view of the open amphitheatre and the garden.
You are woken by chirping of birds - could see at least 7 species.
Areas that need to improved : Cleaning of rooms : Because of tight staffing they do not get done on time. And due to time pressure staff tend miss replenishment of water bottles / tea bags. But when told, there is a sincere apology - which is good thing. Not enough staff to support events : Generally there is at least one member around the conference room to assist on say moving chairs, opetating the OHP, etc. In our case we had to come out to ask for help every time.
I think Sterling should really look at increasing the strength...
The staff themselves were very good, helpful, and prompt when called.
One petson who stood out was Pradeep. He did whatever was necessary quickly and with a smile. There was another person who caught our eye, but I did not note his name.
One personal disappointment was not being able to go on a guided bird watching tour. I told on 17th that I wanted to do it on 19th. I was assured and was told to 'book' one day before. I went to their desk on 18th and I was told that they will confirm with the guide. They did not ! NOT good.

I have booked a Premier room but when we checked in we were shocked to see painters working in front of our block and intercom was not working . However the management immediately upgraded and gave me privilege room without any extra charges . I would like to appreciate the Timely intervention of manager and resolved it. Also since the rooms were located in different blocks the customer service was not so great as we were not able to get immediate response. Special credit to lost and found team who have helped us in shipping our clothes which we forgot at room during check out.
Overall I would give a 4 star and the CP breakfast was great with lot of options to choose. I hope my reviews will help sterling to improve the service as people visit sterling with great expectations as it is one of the best resorts in the country.
Also Location is awesome situated in the midst of forest and free from hustle bustle crowd of munnar city(around 18kms from munnar town) except the entry road from NH which is in very bad shape.

Our stay at Sterling Munnar has been outstanding. After a warm welcome at the reception, we were guided to our rooms where the house keeping services offered by Tamil, Murugaiah & Dhanajeyan have been fabulous. Tamil catered to our needs promptly and the concern and help he rendered is worth appreciating. He is an asset to Sterling. The reception desk has been very amicable and the staff throws a good impression over the visitors through their sincere and dedicated approach. The resort shares a beautiful location and it has been a delight and charm to enjoy the facilities it beholds.
