We had an excellent stay at Ahilya Waters. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the interiors were tastefully designed. The villa was extremely clean and well-maintained. A special mention to Nitin, the caretaker, and his staff, who were attentive and ensured we had everything we needed.
However, the food was a major letdown. It was below average in taste and not worth the high price. Despite the listing mentioning customized meals, only a very limited set menu was available, which was extremely disappointing. In a place like Pawna, where many luxury villas offer delicious, customized food at nominal rates, this was a huge drawback. Additionally, breakfast service was slow— toasting the breads look so long that our eggs got cold.
Factor in the food cost while booking. The villa is outstanding, but the food doesn’t match up in quality or pricing. It felt like the property was taking advantage of its remote location rather than providing a hospitable experience.
Also, we went in February and the water was ICE COLD because it's an indoor pool.
The villa itself is easily 5-star-worthy, but due to the poor food quality, lack of customization, and high food pricing, I’m rating it 4 stars. If the food experience improves, this place would be perfect!
