While the rooms are nice and the staff does try to do their bit, the fact that the hotel is so out of town, is not helpful. One has to drive thru very bad roads to reach the town. There is nothing nearby and one has to make do with whatever the hotel's restaurant serves.

Room tip: If you have problem in climbing, take the 2nd row rooms, so the buggy can drop you to the room.

Very nice place to stay and awesome surroundings. Good service but with GST rates added up to 28 percent the bill is pretty much on higher side.
But hotel and its members are really great and were really helpful.

Room tip: Clean rooms and maintained well. Rooms are pretty small for the charges they are asking for.

Rooms 4/5: are clean and big enough with a porch area to sit and enjoy your mornings and evenings.
There is no Air conditioner in the room but its not required too.. in the mid summer it was 15° at night and I needed a heater. Classy wooden flooring and roof room in which I stayed called the Rock Cabin. They even have a wooden chalet which is comoletely of wood.

Staff 10/5: I am so thankful to the service staffs there who made my stay super awesome. They always carried a smile on face and ready to help.

Food 3.5/5: Chef meets everyone individually and takes the requirement and feedback from guests. They made a awesome cake for me on my anniversary.

Location 4.5/5: Little away from city hustle bustle loved the place and tranquility. Garden is well maintained and have few adventure games too.

Restaurant 5/5: OMG what a place to have your breakfast and dinner. You can have a awestruck view of valley from your seat and they have a vertical garden on one of his walls. I loved it.

They have a wallet parking, game shows, magic shows, high tea.

Overall enjoyed my complete stay there. Thanks to Jose (GM) and Yatishwar.

Room tip: There are no Air Conditioners in room and they are not required too... its cool in mid summer too Complete wooden rooms

Location, Rooms and food was excellent. We always preferred to stay in GRT. Only concern the 2 km road stretch was very pathetic. Very particularly the variety of dinner with excellent taste. My complements to Chef Mr.Dharmarajan for personal care. Keep it up team.

Room tip: Very neat and clean. Well maintained rooms and very good service.
