We decided to explore this place, after one of my friend's mentioned that they are going there for a conference / meeting. I had not heard about this place and decided to Google and check out on HolidayIQ, and was pleasently surprised on the great reviews this place commanded. I also observed that these reviews had been written some time back and wanted to contribute towards the same with updating it with my experience.
It has been generally a good experience visiting this place. The ease with which things materialized was amazing. I thought about going there on Friday morning, booking done with absolute ease by noon for 2 families, with confirmations on the booking and choice of food (veg / non veg) and the directions to the resort. All this happened without reminders and no tense moments, which I have faced during some of my earlier trips.
The road is a pleasure to drive on, except towards the end wherein the last 2 kms or so is mud road, which actually prepares you for the 'village' experience. This stretch is also very scenic and you would enjoy the drive, though a little slow paced. Arrived at the resort with the security guard smiling and welcoming and directing us to the proper parking place (in shade). Before we even got out of the car, there was help at hand, to carry our luggage to the reception, again with a smile on his face. Check in was easy and took less than 2 minutes, with some basic explanations about the resort.
We were amazed with the ambience of the rooms, tastefully decorated and a beautiful painting inside. The buffet lunch was a spread of veg and non-veg and was tastefully done. Though not the eloborate variety kinds, but tasty and rustic. Evening spent with family indulging in kite flying, gilli dhandu, caterpiller shooting, buguri playing and cycling around the resort. Night was welcomed with a bonfire, wherein we were the only 2 families to be around it, though there were others. Had 2 charpais and a table to relax around the fire, with drinks and food served on the spot. Came back to the dining area to enjoy a sumptous dinner and then gazed at the night sky with stars and the moon, in a catamaran decked with hay and pillows. Wonderful experience.
Next morning, went out for a walk around the resort and after breakfast, took the bullock cart ride. The slow paced transport, gave us a lot of time to admire the farms surrounding the resort and enjoy the scenic beauty, which we had missed when we drove down the previous day.
Closed for the day with a good snack and cool drinks and the check out was as easy with friendly handshakes and smiles. Would return again......
Best Experience: Entire stay at the resort, the ambience, the politeness and eagerness of the staff to help, the smiling faces, nature and the rustic experience.
I could go on writing, in detail, but would leave it upto everyone to experience it
Worst Experience: I would not term it as a worst experience, as it was not, but missed on the pottery clases and massage / spa, as the concerned people were not available at the resort.
