We have stayed here before, some years ago. It is of a different age, wifi, what is wifi? Service is smooth rather than hurried. Food is excellent, and the Palace rooms are luxury of a different era.

Lots of wild life , monkeys, bats and plenty of birds. The room was a good size and clean. The food was good and... More

As we entered the property, it was amazing to see the huge trees and the wonderful garden in the middle of Rajasthan. The Palace also blends in beautifully with the surroundings. The sunset over the lake was fantastic, a troop of monkeys joined us to view it. There were a lot of birds and time can be spent just bird... More
