What customers are saying:
Testimonal
- There was an extra effort by the staff to keep the rooms sanitized, clean, and as safe as possible for the guest. I can't complain much about the room, it was well maintained, neat and had all the necessary items. FYI, there could be a lot of monkeys near the room so make sure you close all the windows and the main doors when you leave the room.
- Located at the perfect place just outside of jungle. Very peaceful and calm place. The picture doesn’t do justice to this place natural beauty. The staff were really courteous and humble including the kitchen staff. We went on our anniversary and they had decorated our room so beautifully with a cake. That was a very good surprise for us.
- The best part was the food, amazing and tasty freshly cooked after our order is taken. The staffs here are very kind and good hearted.
- What a wonderful place and even better group of individuals. The entire staff at the resort and the safari guides and driver can rival the professionalism of any international five star hotel or even better them. Our naturalist and driver of the safari painstakingly ensured that we saw the tiger. The hotel staff was extremely attentive.
- The safari drivers and naturalists are excellent. Our naturalist has been Nataraj every time we have been there. Warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. All safety protocols are observed. We are avid birders, so he ensures we get a good experience - a perfect mix of birding and sighting larger animals. The other naturalists are also extremely good.
