GReaT trails Kodaikanal by GRT Hotels

One my best experiences of a resort stay

Shrikant Rajappan

Let me go by the order of things I really liked. Location, the resort’s location is in the middle of a uncrowded hamlet, gramam, it’s the only major resort on this hill hence there are lot foot trails you can follow to the top and others which lead down to adjoint hills. Resorts ambience, we opted for the Timber chalet rooms and it was exquisite. The rustic feel and mellow lighting in the rooms was perfect for us as couples and there was plenty of space to read &write also a balcony with the view of the hills. The view from the timber chalet rooms is the highlight and it’s of a group of hills and the clouds which clear up for light occasionally and then back. I’m sure in the season the resort would be covered in mist. The resort in itself has a biodiversity of its own with huge trees, lot of birds and the plethora of different flowers which you are always surrounded with. Walks around the resort also used to be very scenic and lots of squirrels and colorful birds in banter. Hospitality, the resort has five star hospitality the ensure you truly as a guest and are always available at a beck and call. Would specially like to mention the manager Venkat, he not only agreed readily on an early check in also good guidance on few local trails. Food, the food again is five star and a must try is the grilled chicken breast. The breakfast buffet is a good mix of North Indian, South Indian and continental food.

Excellent stay

We had initially booked 2 rock cabins for 3 nights after seeing a lot of pics and reviews. Upon arrival we were utterly disappointed to see that the room was just a cabin as named. We even thought if we should just cancel and go to some other place but had no option as we had fully paid. It was then we wanted to check out the timber chalets and wow it was huge and had great views. We did not mind paying extra and took two timber chalets. Our rooms had a lawn outside and the view outside was breath taking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at GRT. The complimentary breakfast was really good. the staff were really courteous. The only drawback is the road leading to the resort. For 1.2 kms there are no proper roads and without an SUV or a four wheel drive the drive is going to be really bumpy. The place is located 6 to 7 kms away from the busy Kodaikanal. Anyone going will surely love the place.

Just the most Prestine view that you will ever have

It is build at a perfect location with an Amazing view. The wooden charlets are worth the money which was more from Kodai perspective. The staff was very helpful especially Bala, Venkatesh and chef Abeed. Food menu is limited but taste is good. While visiting don’t forget to try Sukku kappi. I will strongly recommend the place for people below 40 cos it’s built on slopes hence older people might find it a bit difficult. However if you still want to take a call they have cab service to navigate around the GReaT trails Kodaikanal by GRT Hotels.
Room was fantastic with and awesome view. The wooden charlets bring a special charm. They even had a heater facility for the room.

Good Stay

Approach road was very bad. Kids activities were good but they were very very reluctant in encouraging the kids with prizes and they were trying maximum how not to give away prizes although it was things like small ten rupee chocolates. The property should have been more spacious especially the restaurant and lobby. The rooms were really good. Zip line experience was wonderful. Food was good and value as per Kodaikanal standards. The sofa cushions were really bad and uncomfortable. The seating in room and balcony needs to improve a lot for the rating and pricing.
Frequent interruptions in water supply maybe due to pressure pump issues.

Great service, overall value for money

Location it's Around 7 km from the main Town, however it's easy to find the resort on Google maps. Room- the room was tidy and clean. No complains there. Facilities- the restaurant serves Great food. It's a bit on the expensive Side. The dinner buffet has good variety for the price tag. There are good number of activities to enjoy, 3. Go. Burma bridge, zip line, Bon fire, horse riding and other indoor activities. Service- the service is the USP of this place. All staff members are cordial and prompt with the service. All in all will highly recommend the place.

Wow memories forever.

Radhikha Bupathy

Mind blowing memories. Staff was courteous. Awesome and quick service. The place is marvellous beyond words. Timber chalet is worth every single penny spent. Whoaa!. I really wish we could do this trip all over again and again. Their food is so tasty. Alfredo pasta and Murgh malai kebab was yummy. Their breakfast taste and service was awesome. Everything was so perfect. Well organized. No cons at all. I'm sure you will be glad that you chose this place. It will keep you in awe. The valley view from chalet is incredible and stunning.

Ok

Venkatesh Aravind

Is 6 km from Lake. Self-driving guests not experienced in hill driving has to be very careful as the roads along are dug up in between and is a bit difficult to reach. Not advisable for elders, knee problem guests, because of the adventurous theme of the property it is not easy even for a walk inside the property, also going outing and coming back is a bit tedious as it is in a remote place. Food and staff were very good. Room tariff and food charges could had been low owing to offseason during my visit and the amenities provided.

Peaceful trip

Pravin Kumar

We both stayed in Great trail resort it was such a beautiful place to stay. Tall mountains in front of our rooms are very peaceful, even while looking on the mountain it's so beautiful. Room service was excellent, restaurant service was really Great in their food varieties with delicious tastes. Reception people are very much caring and helping us in all times. Really it was a pleasant stay we like to visit more to this place.

Good Stay

It is an excellent place to stay and you feel rejuvenated. The only issue I faced was the food, as the lunch and dinner menu is the same and you do not get variety and also I found it a bit expensive for the thing they served. Also, the place is situated 7 kms away from the Town, so you need to have a vehicle to travel or you have to pay for one way taxi. Overall the stay was good and the staff is very courteous.

Go for it

Oshein Rebello

If not for the food, I would have given 5 star to the stay! We can not afford to travel afar to buy food staying at a remote resort, hence to me, food must improve to a great level here. Apart from food, the stay and the surrounding were absolutely amazing! Loved everything else, from the hospitality part to the rooms, etc.
Absolutely a great place to stay. No doubt about it. Loved the timber chalet room.

All was well!

Vignesh Sankaran

Right from check-in (where a healthy welcome drink was served) till checkout, everything was smooth. Dinner seemed costly other than that, stay was awesome. Nice serene place and beautiful rooms (timber chalet was Great looking. But my parents felt rooms always stayed dark with no bright lights. But that's a different ambience not to Miss). Staffs were friendly. Overall a pleasant stay.

Excellent stay

Amol Bagal

Location is nice, Worth visiting but its almost 1 km inside from the main road. Better if one has his own vehicle. Spa was not there though same was mentioned while booking. Rooms are nice with good view. Foods variety and taste must be improved and its expensive too. The bonfire was arranged by the GReaT trails Kodaikanal by GRT Hotels which was interesting. Overall nice experience.

Excellent Stay

Nice cozy resort away from the busy Kodai Town, very friendly and courteous staff at the resort, construction of elevator etc was in progress and should make the resort more senior citizens friendly. Good food though room service is quite expensive.

Excellent service by the people.
A very nice hospitality of the GReaT trails Kodaikanal by GRT Hotels and staff members are actually very nice but as we know every thing has certain drawbacks this is no different and it is realized when you need to visit the main market of kodai is half an hour away from the GReaT trails Kodaikanal by GRT Hotels.

Great stay
