Excellent Stay but hotel shouldn't have charged TOP price while it was under Construction.
Pros:

The Staff from the GM to the other staff was exceptional and provided great service.

Cons:

The price charged was for full facilities where as 30% of the hotel is still being constructed. Felt cheated on the price.

Pros:

The hotel is truly wonderful, with very spacious rooms and beautiful décor that create a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally kind, helpful, and always willing to accommodate any requests. My stay was incredibly enjoyable, and I was able to relax and recharge in comfort.

Cons:

The only negative experience came at check-out. When I asked for assistance with my luggage, the staff member who arrived immediately began checking the room in detail, focusing on the minibar if I consumed something and later even inspecting the bathroom. While I understand the importance of ensuring everything is in order, the way it was done made me feel rather uncomfortable, almost as if I were being suspected of causing damage or misusing the room. It was a pity at the end of such a lovely stay.

A truly royal experience marked by warm, attentive staff, charming spacious suites, and thoughtfully timed, delicious di
Pros:

It has to be the staff all the way! Every touchpoint during our stay was met with a warm smile and a genuine willingness to assist. The experience felt nothing short of royalty.

A special mention to Khushal at the front office, Kunj from F&B, and Krishna at the restaurants — it was a pleasure interacting with them and being so well taken care of.

The property is expanding but retains an old-world charm. We stayed in the Deluxe Allure Suite, which was spacious, well-designed, and perfect for a family — with ample space for luggage and a generously sized washroom area.

And lastly, the food — we thoroughly enjoyed it! A wide variety of options were offered, and the meal timings were thoughtfully planned to align with guests returning from sightseeing, ensuring there was always something to look forward to.

Cons:

Nothing that we found needs highlighting 😊

A royal staycation
Pros:

Loved the staff - how they made sure we were comfortable at all time
The food was delicious and service impeccable
Great location
Beautiful property
Loved the history behind
Love the jacuzzi
Wonderful rooms with attention to detail
They really made us feel so special - decorated the room for our child’s birthday and arranged a cake and a candlelit dinner
Loved the croquet
The activities for kids
Proximity to safari
The billiards room

Cons:

The only thing is lots of mosquitos, lizards and centipedes- and although we do understand the struggle it being monsoon time and in the wilderness - but they were a lot especially in poolside changing room / but will definitely visit again - sharing this just so that this 0.1% thing is also taken care of

An oasis in Ranthambore
Pros:

This is a beautiful historical property set amidst peaceful gardens. A true oasis in Ranthambore. We were upgraded to a gorgeous and spacious room which was perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful. Some male staff at dinnertime were perhaps a little too helpful, wanting to engage in conversation instead of allowing us to eat in peace. Food was delicious and breakfast sufficient. Free parking is available if you’re driving.
