I recently stayed at Tropical Retreat Resort, Igatpuri, and it was a truly fantastic experience.
The food was absolutely delicious – we enjoyed lunch, dinner, and breakfast during our stay. Whether it was Indian or Chinese cuisine, every dish was prepared perfectly and full of flavor.
The resort has a game room packed with activities like table tennis, pool, air hockey, carrom, and foosball – so many options that one stay isn’t enough to try them all! The outdoor activities were just as exciting, with dashing cars, archery, and several more fun options to keep everyone entertained.
One of the most magical moments was at midnight, when the entire resort was covered in fog as the clouds descended – even though it’s not on a hilltop, the atmosphere felt surreal.
The resort doesn’t have a disco, but we were lucky during our visit as the bar area, equipped with disco lights, music systems, and a courteous DJ, was empty. The DJ happily played songs just for us, and our whole family enjoyed a private party atmosphere.
The highlight of the resort is definitely the temperature-controlled swimming pool. Since we visited in August, the weather was quite cold, and we wouldn’t have normally let our kids swim. But thanks to the climate-controlled pool, not just the kids but even we adults had a wonderful time.
Overall, I would highly recommend this resort to families and groups. My only suggestion is – one night is not enough! To fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer, plan for at least a 2-night stay.
