Delicious Meals
The food was excellent, with flavors that truly impressed me. Their butter naan deserves special mention-it's thin, crisp, and buttery! I felt reassured knowing they maintained strict hygiene measures, which was really important for my peace of mind.

I recently stayed at this resort and really enjoyed my experience. The ambiance was lovely, especially with the view of the small river that gave us a nice hill station vibe. While the rooms were spacious, they were unfortunately a bit dated. Our dining experience was a highlight, especially the delicious fried fish. However, the service left a bit to be desired on some occasions. Overall, it was a decent stay at a reasonable price for a resort.

The resort offers a huge, airy space with a lovely view of a small river that gives a hill station vibe. However, I found the deluxe rooms to be in bad shape, which was disappointing for the price. The service can be hit or miss, and while the dining did include some decent salads, it left much to be desired overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was lovely, offering a beautiful view of the river, which made me feel like I was in a hill station. However, the rooms were in a bad state and definitely in need of some renovation. The service had some hiccups too, but the amenities tried to make up for it. Overall, it was an average experience, but there's potential to be more than just okay.

My experience at the resort was a mixed bag. The view of the small river added a nice touch, creating a tranquil atmosphere. I appreciated the spacious and airy design of the hotel, but I found the rooms to be in really poor condition, which was a letdown. While I found some aspects to be decent value for money, the overall maintenance of the hotel left much to be desired.
