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.

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.

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 staff made us feel right at home, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. However, the journey to the resort involves a bumpy road, which can be a downside for some.

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.
