I was really a fan of APTDC hotels, the best being the one at Rushikonda beach. While i still maintain that APTDC resorts are the best ( and at times only) good accomodation you will get in most of the tourist attractions in Andhra, this particular hotel left something to be desired. Location - The hotel is located in Araku... More

To spice up the drudgery of daily life , we packed two overnight bags and headed for the nearest hill station , Araku Valley. We covered 109 km within 3 hrs . Of that we took a breakfast halt at Tyda. Upon arrival at the Haritha Hill Resort, we checked into a double-bedded suite,overlooking the garden and children's park.The swimming... More

Excellent. I never felt that Govt. will maintain / serve like this. I stayed 2 days at ARAKU Hill resort and 2 days at Rushikonda last month. Both are superb Excellent in all categories. I will recommend every one that they should stay in APTDC resorts only. Food Excellent, Room service Excellent. There are 2 APTDC resorts in Araku. 1.... More

Date: June 09 2011 We , three newly married couples, booked three suite rooms (number 401, 402 and 403 respectively) for a weekend stay(May 7 2011 and May 8 2011). The whole experience of staying there was pathetic. Our rooms were on the third floor and the hotel didnt have a lift facility. We had to take the stairs after... More

My experience of staying one day at Haritha Hill Resort, Araku (7/8th March, 2011) has come out to be worth remembering. The setting, the ambience, the amenities, the maintenance, and above all, the polite and helping attitude of the staff touched my heart. The Canteen Manager with his team deserves unreserved appreciation from one and all. A. P Sen, Howrah.

Pros - Easy access from road, clean and well-maintained greenery, kid's playground, ample space in room, availability of cars and autos inside the premises, dhimsa dance arranged in the day. Cons (we were there in Dec '10 in the midst of tourist rush) - Staff clearly outnumbered overwhelmingly by the tourist rush, pathetic room service (our toilet flush did't work... More

Haritha Valley Resort was more than my expectations. It's a newly built, well located, fantastic place to stay in Araku. They provide seperate cottage which are very beautiful from outside as well as inside (see photos). there is a swimming pool also. The food served especially "BROWN RICE" was exceptionally delicious. I strongly recommend not to forget to tray brown... More

The hotel was well maintained and the hospitality was really awesome. We got a good feedback about the hotel , so we had booked the same.The room service was really cool . We wanted to shift to a room which was having a nice view and our request was considered immediately(may be it depends on the occupancy )

ARAKU is one of the beautiful places that we can ever come across in our life. The journey to Araku Valley itself will make our day. The Train journey from vishakapatnam (Train starts everyday at 6:30 am) to Araku has to be experienced and the whole journey will be accompanied by great/serene greenery outside and some 20+ tunnels which we...
