“Elephant Passage impresses as a family-friendly mountain resort, perched with views in Munnar. The staff earns high praise for attentiveness, particularly the activity team and chef. I note the emphasis on engaging children, complete with a dedicated activity center. The tranquil setting makes the lack of a heated pool a minor drawback, outweighed by the overall experience.”
