What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Organic Meals

The food at Elephant Valley was a good experience. It was mainly vegetarian, made from organic produce, and packed with flavors. I loved how fresh everything tasted, especially the pasta garnished with herbs from their garden. True home-cooked feel! Although the menu is limited, every meal was satisfying and healthy.

Rustic Cottages with Character

I was mesmerized by the design of our cottage. It had a beautiful rustic charm, complete with an attic bed and spacious bathrooms. The ambiance of being nestled among the trees made the stay comfortable and unique, allowing us to connect with nature. Each room is thoughtfully designed, reflecting the perfectly natural surroundings.

Spacious and Unique Bathrooms

The bathroom experience was refreshing. It was spacious, allowing for relaxation after a long day of exploring. We enjoyed hot water for showers, although it required some planning due to timing. The overall setup felt aligned with the eco-friendly theme of the hotel, immersing us in a meaningful experience.

Peaceful Natural Retreat

The entire resort felt like a peaceful retreat, providing a chance to unwind in nature. I particularly enjoyed walking around the vast estate, taking in the sights and sounds of the forest. The close proximity to a natural stream added to the relaxing atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for some leisure time away from city life.

This resort has a charming vibe, ideal for those who appreciate nature over luxury. The food was a standout, deliciously homemade and fresh, but the amenities left a lot to be desired. While the location offers beautiful views and a great escape from the city, not everyone will be comfortable with the rustic conditions in some accommodations.

The resort is a stunning haven nestled in nature, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby areas. The rooms are spacious and boast beautiful views of the river, making for a peaceful retreat. However, the management leaves much to be desired with poorly maintained common areas and inconsistent service during busy times. Dining was a highlight thanks to exceptional food, yet the overall experience was marred by the lack of organization and upkeep.

Dining was a delightful experience thanks to an excellent chef who prepared outstanding regional and international dishes. The quirky restaurant added charm to our meals.

Facilities

Facilities were somewhat lacking, with no gym or pool on-site. This turned out to be more of a pure jungle chill experience than a resort spa feel.

7.2/10

My stay at this resort was a mixed experience. The secluded surroundings and delicious organic food were highlights, but the presence of reptiles and hygiene issues in the rooms significantly impacted my enjoyment. The service was a bit lacking during busy periods, but the manager did his best to ensure comfort. Overall, while the setting was beautiful, I felt it didn't offer the value for money I was hoping for.

Rooms

The food was definitely a highlight, with the pepper chicken and mutton chukka being outstanding. However, menu options were limited, and some items were simply unavailable at times.

Facilities

The facilities had a rustic appeal with unique cottage-style accommodations but were basic. It would be wise to carry flashlights as the paths can be quite dark at night.

Staying at the resort was a truly magical experience. Nestled in a stunning valley, the unique cottages and abundant nature were breathtaking.

The stay at the resort was a refreshing escape into nature, surrounded by a serene forest ambiance. The staff provided excellent service and were very accommodating, especially when we missed a group campfire. The amenities like the twin swing and trampoline were a highlight, although the food options could use improvement. The location is quite remote, which enhances the peace and safety but also means it lacks easy access to food and services.
