Our stay at the resort was simply wonderful! Nestled among beautiful tea plantations, the location offered breathtaking views of the lake, which made our experience truly special. The rooms were spacious and decorated with care, although they could use a bit more attention to detail in cleanliness. The dining was a highlight, with delicious meals that left us satisfied. However, the lack of a daily room tidy service was a minor letdown. Overall, it’s a peaceful escape that I would highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in nature.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort with stunning views of the lake and excellent food. The service was personalized, especially from Raju, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. However, there were some areas needing attention, like the housekeeping and the limited alcohol options. Overall, it's a perfect place for a relaxed holiday, but a few improvements would have made it even better.

My stay had its ups and downs. The beautiful location next to the reservoir is a major plus, and the peaceful surroundings were refreshing. However, the overall maintenance of the hotel fell short, and the service was inconsistent. The potential is there for a great experience, but it currently misses the mark in several areas.
