Visited Ooty during crowded weekend of Dashera. Manager was kind enough to arrange for a villa though hotel was nearly full. Also they arranged site seeing tours based on budget and conveyance preference - bus, car , shared or private tour. Food is okayish and found it pricey compared to quality and taste .

Superb Hotel and good food . No Lake view as the name suggest though 1-2 room has some lake view . Valley View villa nos 93 - 104 are much better option . Villa nos 27 - 33 , 66 - 72 , 105 - 110 and 114 - 116 are much better , good connectivity to reception and dining area and car parking option in front side .

1. Gr8 location 2. Big resort , Nice villas n rooms 3. Cleanliness 4. Food is good 5. Service both room and hotel is very good. Staff is very cordial. 6. Near to railway station, boat house etc. Cons- nothing much to entertain.

Have visted this place recently with my wife, and it seems this place is highly underrated. Loved the spacious cottages, on the gentle hilly slopes, with abdolute privacy to yourself. The nights came with dead silence with dim lights from the distant mountains gave a special charm. (Not recommended for people who does not enjoy solitude) The rooms were tidy and the staff was hospitable. The restaurant and room service staff interacted as needed with a warm smile. Communication to the sites and town would be easy if you have your vehicle, with ample parking space inside the property. Else auto / cabs are available at reasonable rate.(the hotel travel desk offered the same at higher price so we booked from outside) Few things that could be improved - 1. Housekeeping staff sounded bit rude, when they came and asked for confirmation on checkout, multiple times. I felt that I am being pushed, even after I told them that will check out late and is ready to pay any additional charges as per policy. 2. The gates in the front side of the property facing the lake remain closed, so if you have a cottage in the first row, you have to climb up the hill to the main gate and then descend.

The positive things were, Good location, Tasty Food, Clean Rooms and they have a travel desk to help you explore nearby places. The negative things were, Food is costly, the intercom and water heater was not working the second day, there were no electric kettle to make your own coffee.
