The Tamara Kodai

I booked for my parents and it is very good and especially the rate is very competitive in trip.com

Our stay at Tamara Kodai was wonderful. The ambience was serene and inviting, the hotel team ( preetika et al) meticulous in their attention and care, lovely drives courtesy Ebi, our ebullient cab driver, always punctual and knowledgeable about the local areas, and topped off by the culinary excellence from Executive Chef Nitish and his brilliant team. The food was exceptional in taste and diversity and every meal was an experience. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a perfect blend of rest, relaxation and gourmet dining!

One of the best Malabar Fish Curry we have had till date. Superb taste. Maybe also have in prawn version too. Compliments to Chef Selva. But we honestly feel that it should automatically come accompanied with rice or neer dosa, etc. and not charged seperately for that.

The property is too good . The best resort I have stayed in Kodai so far. The food was also delicious. Special South Indian food made by chef selva Kumar was delicious. Reminded me of my home town. Wil come back here again and again in future. 😀😀

We had an exceptional experience staying at Tamara during our family trip to Kodai. There were 8 adults in our group of varying age groups and needs. The staff was incredibly attentive, and the service was outstanding. They went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests (special thanks to Suhail). The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the delicious food we enjoyed at in-house restaurant "La Provence" for breakfast and dinner. The vegetarian spread was expansive, with every dish being absolutely mouthwatering. After casually chatting with the chefs about some specific dishes like Mishti Doi (from Bengal) and tomato-based gravy (South Indian), we were delighted to find those dishes specially prepared for us and delivered to our dinner table that same night. In addition to the buffet spread, we enjoyed live counter that served dosas (breakfast) and chaat items (dinner). The young adults in our group were interested in cooking lessons, but not the typical ones like pizza or chocolate making that they offered at most resorts. When we expressed this, Chefs Selva and Ranjit took special care to curate a custom class and teach them few different unique local cuisine dishes, including jackfruit gravy, appams, special rasams and curries. Not only did we learn a lot, we also picked up valuable tips for our own cooking from these top chefs. The rooms and facilities were impeccably maintained and featured eco-friendly amenities. The views were stunning, and the trail down to the lake starts right at the entrance of the resort, allowing us to enjoy early morning walks through lush, rainforest-like pathways every day. Despite heavy rain for three out of our four-day stay, which could have spoiled the vacation elsewhere, this resort made it a memorable experience as we engaged in numerous family games in the lobby area when we weren't savoring the delicious food.

We stayed at "The Tamara, Kodaikanal" for three nights, and our experience exceeded all expectations. The staff support was excellent, making our stay feel like a slice of heaven, with clouds playing hide-and-seek throughout the day. The cleaning staff was meticulous and provided personalized attention. I would like to extend a special thanks to Mr. Prabakaran for his exceptional service. Additionally, we were highly impressed by Mr. Ebi (resort driver), for his humble nature and excellent service. He recommended tourist spots and displayed a creative personality with a good taste in music and directions. Please note that while the resort charges for food, liquor, and sightseeing may seem high, they are worth every penny. We will definitely visit The Tamara, Kodaikanal again in the future.

Tamara is awesome and the food is absolutely brilliant. Chef Upaching and his team prepared an amazing smorgasbord of delicious delights daily! The staff are super friendly and they go out of their way to ensure that guests are well looked after and super comfortable.

Chef Upaching at Tamara Kodai Restaurant provided an exceptional dining experience. Their special dishes showcased creativity and skill, while their hospitality made us feel welcome and valued. From start to finish, it was a delightful evening. Highly recommended!

The services and the staff are very friendly and nice. Had a great time! Jose kutty was very friendly and cooperative, his recommendations and service oriented nature is to be experienced, ask for Jose kutty if you want to be pampered, kudos to Jose kutty and Tamara team.
