This resort is a hidden gem, nestled away from the chaos of Kodaikanal, providing a tranquil escape surrounded by nature. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, but our experience was slightly marred by some maintenance issues. The service was top-notch, making us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. The food was delicious, offering a great variety of options, though I wish the dining area had a few more conveniences in terms of breakfast selections.

My stay was quite an adventure, as the resort is nestled far from the main attractions and the roads are extremely rough, making the drive challenging. The beautiful natural surroundings and the peaceful environment were highlights, but the service fell short, especially during peak times like breakfast. While the location is stunning, it's definitely a trek to get there and not ideal if convenience is a priority.
