It’s over rated properly and I don’t see any luxury, don’t fall in trap for it
Location: The location is quite isolated. There’s a lake nearby, but no real activities to enjoy around it. The property is spread out over different farms, so you constantly need to call for a buggy to get around. The reception is on one side of the main road, and the rooms are on the other—definitely not the most convenient setup.
I stayed in the Royale Cliff Tent and paid ₹21,000 for 2 tents with Breakfast only. Lunch and dinner paid extra for buffet. Honestly, it didn’t feel worth more than ₹5,000.
Service: Just average. At 10 PM, a staff member came by to let us know room service wouldn’t be available until 7:30 AM, and we should request anything we needed right away. Not ideal, especially for a premium stay.
Food: The taste was good, but the options were extremely limited. Lunch and dinner included just 2 sabzis, roti, and a sweet—no starters or side dishes.
Breakfast: I had high hopes for breakfast but was disappointed. Instead of a proper buffet, it was just idli-sambar, bread with butter, upma, one fruit, and tea/coffee. For the price, I expected far more variety.
Overall: I travel frequently, and when I’m paying ₹10K per night, I expect value—whether it’s in the location, service, or food. Unfortunately, none of those stood out here.
MAGNUS CAVERNS RESORT
Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few points for the benefit of future guests.
Your booking was made through MMT under a ‘Breakfast Only’ package. Since lunch and dinner were not part of your plan, those meals were charged separately on an à la carte basis. Our menu offers a wide range of cuisines and dishes, and guests are free to order as per their preference. We do not limit food options for any guest, and multiple varieties are available beyond the fixed buffet.
Regarding the stay, during the time of your booking, most of our room categories were sold out, and hence you were allotted a higher-category tent (Royale Cliff Tent). The tariff through OTA platforms like MMT includes their service commission and applicable GST, which naturally increases the price compared to direct bookings. This may have given you the impression that the stay was overpriced.
We also note your comments on service and will work on further improving communication with guests, especially during late hours.
While we regret that your overall experience was not as you expected, we are
