Athiva Resort & Spa Khandala (Formerly Dukes Retreat)

family of 4 stayed in valley sit out. pros: amazing location, well maintained 5* resort. room is big. service is amazing. both dinner and breakfast had lot of variety. staff is courteous. cons: I think valley view rooms are better as those have better valley view than 'valley view with sit out' rooms. sit out has nice garden but people pay more for better view. I booked the room on the spot and they took 45 mins in formalities which might be finished in 15 mins Max. Also, they don't bother to educate you about the resort and facilities. you have to keep them asking else u may loose the compliments resort offer. Price wise it is on higher side as half of the resort is under maintenance and many things are not working like there is no games room and equipment's are rusted.

We had a wonderful stay at Athiva Resort, Khandala! The service and hospitality were excellent throughout. Our valley view room was beautifully renovated and offered stunning views. The Italian restaurant, Panorama, is a must-try — it overlooks the cliffs, and we were lucky to spot a waterfall since the rains had just stopped. Breakfast at the Indian restaurant was equally delightful, with a great variety of options. We also enjoyed some really good cocktails at Duke’s Bar. Overall, a perfect weekend getaway — highly recommended!

One of the best experiences ever. Super luxurious Athiva Resort & Spa Khandala (Formerly Dukes Retreat), courteous and empathetic staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, especially as we were accompanied by a small child and senior citizens. Food is outstanding. The views are the best that any Athiva Resort & Spa Khandala (Formerly Dukes Retreat) offer in Khandala. Definitely coming back again.

Amazing location, spacious rooms with amazing view, amazing team (very humble and cooperative), amazing service. Food is ok, not bad but has lot of scope to improve its spread, taste and quality. This is important if they want repeat customers. Senior citizen friendliness needs to be done on priority at room level for each category. One cant treat them with seperate isolated rooms.

The Dukes Resort suggested by MMT Lux is really fabulous. In the heart of Lonavala vally, calm place to stay for weekend as it's near to town like Mumbai/Pune. Food was delicious, in variety and healthy too. It does mention the calories portion of food. Also enjoyed the indoor activities and other complementary activity like horse riding. Overall my family enjoyed it a lot 🙂

The cultural experience at Athiva Resort & Spa Khandala (Formerly Dukes Retreat) Athiva left us with many stories and great memories. The Athiva Resort & Spa Khandala (Formerly Dukes Retreat) facilities and room services are exceptional. The staff are also accommodating and friendly.

The location of the property is very easy to locate and very near to the Mumbai Pune Expressway. The amenities are also top notch namely the temperature controlled swimming pool and also the food is excellent. The staff is really well trained and extremely hospitable.

Stay and room was good but not all facilities (eg gym) were open. Additional, staff felt undertrained. Food menu was widespread but quality was not the best. Feels like the place is still trying to find its feet.
