Good Stay
sridhar r.couple
Location is awesome. In the forest, bang on the shores of the lake. Stay was comfortable. Room and bathroom were clean. The room is not airconditioned. I guess, it would be warm in summers. The food in the restaurant is not good enough for the money they charge. The spread is too limited and the taste is below expectation. But one has no other dining option. Only wine and beer are served in the bar, no other drinks.

A good place to relax and enjoy with family
renosh k.family with 1 kid
The rooms were good. Great ambiance inside the forest. They have regular animals coming at night . But morning boat safari for seeing animals will be purely luck. The reception will arrange the tkts for the boat safari. Over all a good experience at the resort with a good swimming pool and restaurant.
