We stayed for 3 days. Awesome environment around the hotel. Very good property with individual hut based rooms. Rooms are very neat and clean..we can spend time during night in the garden area.. road to access the hotel is a bit congested.. overall good experience

Its a big property near to lake house and maintained very well. The cottages are very good and spacious, the hotel is old but they modified it. There is ample parking area and little space in front of every cottage to sit and play. I like the place very much that i recommended few of my friends about this hotel and even booked for them. I liked the restaurant especially morning coffees and Dosas.I will give 5 star for money spent, spacious rooms and pleasantness of the place. I noticed the staff is very courteous and working for long time.

First of all I did not have lake view, not sure from where you get lake view. Staff are like robots, they will take care of happy paths but if you ask something out of the box they will keep playing same cassette, wont show courtesy to atleast understand your issue. I think they tried to keep room decor as classical so have all wooden furniture but not impressive. Room service is good. Rooms are big, you get hall and bedroom. Hall has big dining table. Bed is queen size bed so if you are thinking you can adjust with small kid then it might not be possible.

This resort is in heart of town & well connected with all major places. Very peaceful location with more than 100 cottages. All the cottages are having almost same configuration with some minor changes..so don't worry even if you get standard room.

Probably biggest Villa stay hotel in Ooty with 120+ villas in its vicinity. It has been been well marketed over internet and on almost all signposts which leads to Ooty. Does this lives upto all such hypes? Yes, and it depends on which villa you get! LOCATION: It is located near the West side bank of ooty lake. Location is accurate on Google and the navigation leads exactly to its gate. The road which leads to the hotel is very narrow and uphill. One should take precaution about opposite traffic as taking reverse in the uphill is quite difficult. ATMOSPHERE: We visited during the month of June and as it was raining, the hotel was immersed in lush greenery. It was a pleasant feel all around. Gardens, play area, walk ways are very well maintained. RECEPTION & SERVICE: We were very well welcomed at the reception. The manager was very keen and down to earth person. Since we didn't had cash due to total ATM network shutdown, they compromised with the security deposit. And they charged everything at once during the checkout. Service on the other hand was excellent. Though it was raining and our villas were far from the kitchen, they served our food in time and hot. I really appreciate the effort those service guys put on. VILLA: Almost all villas has the same architecture. It has a living room with a small bed, chairs, LED television, Fire place and a dining table; a bedroom with Queen size bed, wardrobe and makeup mirror table and bathroom with individual geyser, western toilet and bathtub with shower facility. Toiletries provided were hygenic and the while room was spotless. Though I feel bedroom is bit crunched, the living room compensates for it. Bathroom is very airy. THE VIEW: It purely depends on which villa you choose / they provide. Villa which has road in front of it offers less privacy as taxis and private cars tends to park there and the whole night taxi drivers chit chat or play music in their cars. So, my suggestion is to choose villas away from the reception and which is not facing towards road. Very few villas located completly below provide the view of lake, and some villas located in the last row near the reception provide the view of valley. So, choose your villa wisely. If you are with kids or elderly person it is wise to choose villa with the parking next to it. FOOD: I would say food was just above average. For the pricing, the food won't justify much. We ordered Veg Biriyani and Gobi Manchurian. Veg Biriyani was kind of okay but Manchurian wasn't that great. But, chef is open minded and takes feedback. They once replaced our tea as soon as we complained. The chef himself came all the way to our room to inspect the tea and agreed to our complaint. EVERYTHING ELSE: You need to pay Rs.1000 upfront during check-in as security deposit which is either adjusted with your food & service orders or refunded. They offer fire wood for the in-house fire place and for electronic heater at extra cost. There a huge parking space available in the hotel which is a major plus point. They do accept all major cards. FINAL VERDICT: You'll have a pleasant stay if you choose right villa.
