Excellent property and friendly staff. However, food was the biggest negative here. When you go to such a place just to relax and don't want to go out at all, good food plays a very important part of your experience. The breakfast was included in the package, but except a few things it was not edible. South Indian like Idli and Vada were good, but dosa was crap. English spread was extremely bad, croissants, muffins, donuts, cakes, etc, were not edible at all. It seemed as if it was picked from a cheap eatery somewhere outside. Also, due to pandemic situation, it was mentioned on their website that they have a gap of 24 hours between one guest checking out from a villa and another checking in, however, in the villa next to me i saw the guests checking out in the morning and the next ones checking in a few hours later.

Amazing experience
Spacious modern rooms with all amenities you can ask for. The bathroom was huge and loaded with features including a bath tub. The private pool was amazing. Property is very nice and food was good. Would recommend the place for anyone wanting to stay for a luxury feeling at Chikmagalur or near Coorg.

Good family vacation.
It was a good experience overall. The spa is very nice. The property itself has been beautifully designed. It needs a refresh in some parts, but is still clean and hygienic. Room service was a bit slow, but that was probably due to the holiday rush over New Year’s Eve. There was a very well organised New Year party with strict crowd control and social distancing norms adhered too.

Simply Outstanding
This place is simply the jewel of all high-end resorts in this part of India. The luxury and facilities are all one point. The villas are very well appointed and maintained. Everything works! The pools are high quality. The ambiance is very relaxing and refreshing The most impressive feature is the wonderful hospitality. The team at the resort are very warm and welcoming. I was particularly impressed by Mr. Wilfred Sequeira, who went beyond the call of duty or hospitality to make my family extra comfortable. His efforts surpassed all expectations. His team was with him at every step to achieve his desire to make this a memorable holiday for us. The food is really much better than any of the resorts i have visited in the region. I am definitely going there many times over.

Peace, quiet and fresh air
Lovely stay - all the hotel staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble including making an off the menu cocktail once we'd given the recipe! Room was lovely - splash pool is a nice touch. Food in the restaurant gave us a good chance to sample local flavours without over eating. Not so much variety is you're looking for continental although not sure why you'd bother. Fine dining it isn't but tasty and cooked with love it is - thumbs up. Hotel was never crowded probably owing to the small number of villas. Would definitely return. Note: If booking via Expedia and you have the post pay option stick to your guns and pay on arrrival don't be harassed by the head office to make an early payment via a bank transfer (what decade are we living in?!) This was the only downside with the head office letting the hotel down! May be send the head office staff to the hotel for some lessons in customer service!
