Inconsistent experience. Some aspects need attention
slow food service faulty door
The food service was slow. Wait times were excessive even when the restaurant was not busy. my cottage door also did not close properly. this resulted in insects entering the room, disrupting sleep. it was bothersome and impacted my overall rest.

Serene Escape
clever design comfortable bed restaurant food
The landscape design was clever and utilized the natural slope of the hill. Staff maintained the grounds constantly. Our room had a comfortable bed. The restaurant food was delicious and offered many choices. There were lots of activities available locally, including the tiger reserve. I would return in a heartbeat.
Our plunge pool was not as cool as I expect, felt more like a warm bath.
Rooms
9/10
The rooms had nice amenities like a fridge, tea, coffee, and toiletries. Our cottage had a comfortable large bed, ensuring a good night sleep. The hot water shower was good, however, the hot water did run out sometimes.
Dining

The food offered fresh choices and the manager worked hard for guest comfort. They provide tea and cookies in the afternoon. Breakfast included omelettes. I found the value surprisingly good.
Service
