SpiceTree is a hidden gem located in the beautiful spice plantations of Bison Valley. The views are breathtaking, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The complimentary activities, like the cooking demo and guided walks, added a unique touch to our experience. However, some public areas could use a little maintenance to match the overall charm of the hotel.

My stay at Spice Tree was quite the adventure! After a long and bumpy drive due to recent flooding, the hotel was a lovely sight. The room was comfortable and offered stunning views of the valley, but the food was hit or miss, and I found it a bit overpriced for what was included. I enjoyed the complimentary yoga and tea tasting sessions, but overall, I felt that including meals in the cost would enhance the experience significantly.
