Delicious Culinary Delights

I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse menu offered at the restaurant. For breakfast, there was a fantastic spread including both traditional South Indian and North Indian options. I particularly loved the fresh banana split I had for dessert, which brought back fond childhood memories. Each meal was a delight, making dining here a highlight of my trip.

Comfortable Accommodations

The bungalow I stayed in was a perfect retreat. Spacious and private, it included a lovely terrace with scenic views of the greenery and wildlife. The hammock was a fantastic touch for leisurely afternoons. I appreciated the unique design of the bathroom, particularly the bright, open rainwater area - it added a special charm to my stay.

Fun and Active Getaway

I was impressed with the range of activities available for all age groups. We enjoyed playing badminton and cycling around the hotel. The infinity pool overlooking the lake was the perfect spot to unwind after being active. I also appreciated the complimentary evening boat ride, which offered stunning views of the sunset.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were delightful with a garden view, although the open toilet design was a bit unusual. The equally large bathrooms were a nice touch. The service was outstanding, from the restaurant service to room service, making me feel truly pampered. The location was perfect, nestled by nature and right on the lake, offering serene views and easy access to nearby restaurants. Dining with classical Indian music was an enchanting experience. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
