My husband had planned for a proper candle light dinner and had even instructed the staff to decorate our room, but to our dismay, it couldn’t happen as there was miscommunication of information. We had dinner at one of the restaurants and retired to our room for the night.
Hotel Review: The Quorum
The ambience of the hotel is very nice and the rooms are pretty decent too. The staff is, however, not as cooperative as one would expect it to be. The food is also alright, nothing out of the world.

After that it was time to visit Ooty, one of the most beautiful hill stations in South India. We reached late in night and had dinner in our hotel, The Elk.

Day 3 was reserved for sightseeing in Ooty. We covered Doddabetta Peak, the highest mountain in the Nilgiri Hills. The views of the valley were mesmerising indeed. We had a spa appointment in our hotel at 5 pm. Due to some technical problems, our spa appointment was postponed to 8 pm. It was a very relaxing experience and the staff was very experienced and made sure that we had a good time.
Post spa, we went to have dinner at the hotel’s restaurant and by the time we came back to our room, it was fully decorated with rose petals and candles. There were pastries and fruits kept for us, beautifully, decorated. After enjoying for sometime, we retired to bed as we had to leave for Coimbatore early the next day.
Hotel Review: Elk Hill
The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff goes out of the way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The food is pretty decent, and the spa services are also really good, provided there are no power cuts.

We had an early breakfast and left for Coimbatore. I must talk about our driver here. He was a wonderful fellow who not only drove carefully, but also helped us a lot in shopping. He took us to the best places to shop in Coimbatore and drove us to the airport on time, from where we boarded our flight back to Hyderabad.
I thought that after Maldives, South India would be nothing out of the world experience but I was so wrong. There is a different kind of charm to the hills, the people and the climate of South India. In short, I am very glad that we chose it as our honeymoon destination. Kudos to TravelTriangle for helping us plan this beautiful trip without any hassles.
