Pros +
- Open area and facilities were pretty good.
- The location, hospitality of the staffs and comfortability. Shall visit again.
- Location , nature and peacefulness.
Cons -
- Understaffed. Service was slow and even unresponsive sometimes.
- Highly recommended for all the ages. Staffs were helpfull. Foods having huge variety, bar, indoor games. I love the stay completely.
- Breakfast was ok and few of the items would change and repeat every alternate days. The snacks and tea/coffee provided between 4-6 pm is on paid basis which we were not aware initially since the staff near the reception said it was free for all the guests. The prices were on the higher side for the evening tea/coffee and snacks and also for the in-house lunch/ dinner. Also the area around where we stayed, the grass was not trimmed and not well maintained. Other areas looked good. View from our window was an open field and we could see the lake at a far distance. We had a small pet and were charged 2000 + taxes per night for the pet but nothing else was provided. No dog food or dog bed. On one occasion they took away the iron box along with the iron board for some other guests even though we had to ask for it in the 1st place. They returned it only after calling them back and asked for it again. The microwave was also missing initially. Photos seen in the booking.com app is far way from the real room pics. The room looks old. For the price paid for 4 nights with a pet-72k+ for the indulge suite we expected better room standards but we were let down. Slowly we got used to the place and adjusted ourselves , nothing much to do about it. Car parking is outside the hotel and in an open area. Gym is dysfunctional-nothing is there. Only a good view from the terrace/balcony next to it.

Good property. Lovely lawn to play and loved the park!
Just having a lot of technical difficulties with door locks and stuff. Had bad parking. Took an expensive car and was not going to park it at a open ground away from the property. Buffet was very unheigenic.
Good view from the rooms
The property should have a small fridge and microwave. The bathroom water was not hot as needed. TV channels very difficult to navigate.
Amazing staff.
Buffet dinner not great, not easy to get to room when it rains.
The location, ambience and the facilities and most importantly the courtesy of the staff..
It was an amazing experience with sterling kodai leke and the room was comfortable and the clean location was amazing The staff was very good and helpful and check in experience was very good and front office staffs was helpful for they took by buggy to room spc Arti
The breakfast choices were good. The staff were courteous. The location was also very good.
Kitchen opens at only 7.45 am and if we order tea, that takes another 30 minutes.
I along with my family had stayed in Villa - 107 from 29th April till 31st April, 2025.The property is well maintained and there are line of villas dotted throughout the property. There is a buggy service available from the reception to the rooms and vice-versa, as and when required through a call via intercom.Coming to the food, we had breakfast and dinner . The breakfast spread was elaborate and was decent in taste. The dinner spread too had a variety of dishes and pleasing to the tastebud.Coming to the villa, the bedrooms were of decent size along with a drawing and a sit out attached to one of the bedrooms. I would have liked the size of the bedrooms to be a bit more spacious.There is in room heaters provided in each bedroom, television and a wardrobe with side tables on each side of the bed.The suggestion I have is to create a dormitory for the drivers who are coming with the travellers , because it is quite uncomfortable to sleep inside the car with the temperature falling.Overall it was a decent stay and was happy with the service provided.
The size of the bedrooms and unavailability of the dormitory for the drivers.
Front desk staffs were very helpful. Prabha, Kanika, Arthi and March very good
Nice and spacious rooms. Staff were very courteous. And polite
Parking was unmanned. After a long and tiring journey, I had to park unassisted in a parking lot a few mins away from the hotel. Signs reading ‘parking at owner’s risk’ - this was a sore sight. I should not have to worry about the safety of my car if I’m coming to a hotel/resort. The reception arranged a day trip for my family for sightseeing in an Innova. The driver Mohan was very helpful and well-behaved. They charged ₹5500 for this service out of which ₹2000 rupees was for the veg meal for 4 adults. They did not mention anything about the meal or that they actually had non-veg options when I had booked the service. Overall, it was not value for money for the ₹15k per room per night I had spent.
We liked the location very much. The staff here were really helpful, kind and courteous. The buffet is definitely worth it. The food was amazing and the chef Medolina helped us to choose the food. The waiter called Preduman was very hard working and helpful. March on reception helped us to book our onward taxi. Sasirekha helped me with IT for which I am very grateful. We would definitely recommend this place.
The entire process from booking to check in to the support during stay was seamless and the staff were very friendly. Mrs. Sasirekha in the reception desk was very helpful and made our stay very pleasant. Looking forward to coming back.
Hospitality and easy access ,breakfast ,

Thank specially to Umesh, Rekha, Partha and driver Mohan. Umeshji gave me lot of courage and assurance to make solo trip possible. Thx.
Location. Landscape. Cleanliness and friendly staff.
Lake view room was so pleasant and peaceful
Bonfire in the evening and social gatherings
Their people- all very very good, great ambience and old world charm
They could add “ safety lockers” for international guests to at least store their passports etc for better feel
Great location and lovely staff.
There was no hot water and had to repeatedly call the front desk. The staff were nice and tried to fix it as soon as possible but this shouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.Had food in the Slate & Pearl restaurant but had to check the amount billed every time since the amount billed was not matching what was in the menu. I was told the menu is being overhauled but there was no way for me to know unless I went through everything with the staff during every meal. Ended up paying extra.
