We stayed at Sleeping Beauty during our trip to Coonoor. Although it is marketed as a resort, I would describe it more as a small hotel.It is located in Aruvankadu, between Coonoor and Ooty. The property has around eight rooms, a dining area, and parking facilities. ### Pros * The rooms are clean and equipped with basic amenities and accessories. * A smart TV is provided with access to OTT platforms, including Netflix. * The hotel is surrounded by tea plantations and offers beautiful mountain views, which is a major highlight. * Since there are only a few rooms, the staff can provide quick and attentive service. * The breakfast buffet was decent, and the cold coffee was particularly excellent. ### Cons * You need to cross about four hairpin bends to reach the property. * Some parts of the roads leading to the hotel are still under construction, making the drive slightly challenging, especially for larger vehicles navigating the sharp turns. * There are very limited indoor recreational activities or games available. ### Overall I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. The courteous staff, prompt service, and scenic location amidst tea plantations made the stay enjoyable. While the approach road could be improved and the recreational options are limited, it is a good choice for those looking for a peaceful stay close to nature.
An incredible experience at Sleeping beauty by Nature Resorts! This property is impeccably maintained, from the lush, expansive gardens to the cozy porch and relaxing views of the Nilgiris. The views are breathtaking. The rooms are clean, well-heated, and very comfortable. The staff is exceptional—polite, well-trained, and genuinely caring. A special mention to Flora ma'am and kitchen staff for the amazing, fresh-cooked meals and the warm welcome with herbal tea. Everything was perfect, and we can’t wait to return!
Had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Right from the manager, Mr. Vinod, to the room coordinator Mrs. Flora, everyone was extremely polite, welcoming, and helpful. Special thanks to the restaurant staff — Iman, Kalai, and Rajendran — for their excellent service and warm hospitality. Even the security guard was such a sweet and kind person, which made us feel even more comfortable during our stay. The breakfast spread was awesome with great taste and variety, and the dinner was also very good. The courteous behavior of all the staff truly made our stay memorable. Last but not least, the beautiful hill view near the hotel, within walkable distance, was an added bonus to our stay and made the experience even more special. Overall, a very satisfying and pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to visit again.
The location of the property is stunning with views of the mountains, valleys and tea gardens. You can also see the Toy train moving across the Nilgiri mountains. The entire staff is very helpful and polite. Mr. Vinoth, the property manager was very kind and Ms. Flora was very kind and helped us with a smooth check in. The food is really delicious, the chef is very humble and also customized the food according to our request. The views from the walk around the property are beautiful. Rooms are very clean and the overall vibe is amazing. Must recommend for anyone visiting Coonoor/Ooty.
My family and I stayed at Sleeping Beauty by Nature Resorts for 3 nights in total. The first thing we noticed was the breathtaking view from the property. The service at the resort was excellent, the staff gave personalized hospitality from the moment we arrived. A big shout out to Ramji and Flora for their unmatched service, they really made us feel at home by going out of their way to provide us with homely food and a wonderful guest experience. Would highly recommend for a quiet staycation near Ooty for any group size.
