Reviews and Ratings
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.
