Overall it is a very nice resort. BUT.. the food prices are not at all justified. Though food quality is good, it is too expensive. Those high prices are not justified. A single cup of Tea is 80 rs, ~100 with tax. Simple veg soups are around 125+tax(20%). A single Roti/chapati too cost 80rs+tax i.e. around 100Rs !. Management has... More

Stayed there in the second week of May. The resort is unclean. Rooms are old. The standard rooms are worth less. Very old with walls and flooring tiles with no aesthetic. The bathroom is small and the bath tub had broken taps. I couldn't get an upgrade that day. The restaurant is non-ac and you will not have many options... More

We went on a weekend to the resort and had to wait for half an hour for some one to come and take the order from us. After that, it again took another 45 minutes to deliver the... More
