A little secret oasis in Rathembore.
Pros:

Location for zones 2,3 and 4 were perfect. The pool was relaxing and very quiet, often having it to ourselves. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We didn't venture out for meals as the evening buffets were homemade and delicious.

Great location, clean and very comfortable.
Pros:

Fabulous location, beautiful layout, terrific and very attentive staff. Breakfast and dinner were delicious.
They are also located very close to the park entrance which is a bonus.

Cons:

Our shower head did not work and although we told them and they said they would fix it they did not. We ended up washing in the bath. The HDMI cable kept falling out of the back of the TV which is annoying. But that’s all, everything else was great.

Nice comfortable stay and great location near the entrance of Ranthambore safari park.
Pros:

The hotel offered a nice dinner, which we enjoyed since we were tired from our morning and afternoon safaris. The dinner buffet had good selections and their garlic naan bread was one of our favorite items.
Servers were very attentive. We enjoyed eating on the patio during our mid morning breakfast.
Fireside evening performance by musicians brought to the resort from their Western India village. Nice cultural event.
Spa services by trained massage therapists, but communication, body positioning during massage and expectations need to be discussed for best results.
The weather during the early morning Safari was very cold. The hotel offered blankets which we were glad we had. For our afternoon safari we also took the blankets and again glad we had them since it got cold again as the sun went down.
Loved the unexpected hot water bottles placed in our beds during the evening bed turn down service!

Cons:

Breakfast was included and had adequate choices as well as eggs cooked to order. Breads and pastries were a little stale and dry. As many guests leave for safari in the early mornings and return for a mid morning breakfast, some items may have been sitting out as they accommodate guests over a range of time.

Pros:

Everything! We really loved that the staff actually wanted to help us and give u the best tips! They definitely helped with all the Safari booking and were always ready to answer any questions. You can tell when someone is genuinely interested in helping and we felt at this hotel,it was not about money but about people.

Pros:

Essen war gut, es gab auch vegane Optionen. Das Hotel ist nahe an den Gates 1-5 für Safaris gelegen, Zimmer waren sauber

Cons:

Der Kellner hat die Frage nach dem Preis für Wein geschickt umgangen, um uns beim Check out horrende Kosten für den Wein abzurechnen. Uns wurde vorab keine Menükarte/Preisliste gezeigt und auch nichts nach dem Essen vorgelegt. Vorsicht Abzocke bei Getränken!

Amazing stay
Pros:

Dev vilas was amazing, the rooms were large and clean. The meals were great . We had booked 2 rooms since we were with our grandchildren. Children just loved the pool. Overall the hotel was amazing, just 5 mins from the safari gates 1 to 5. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Would definitely recommend Dev vilas for a nice and a comfortable stay,
