Fantastic resort to unwind and connect with the nature

Fabulous property in the middle of Makhaibari tea estate, well manicured gardens, mesmerising mountain views.
Very helpful and enthusiastic staff at every place of the hotel.
Tour of tea estate helped us to appreciate culture and lifestyle of native people.

nothing much to find fault, maintain property the same way

Its a good hotel but we had very high expectations from it being Taj. the Taj hospitality
Pros:

The location was good, the property was very beautifully located. the rooms were large, well decorated. however, the only downside was most of the rooms were inside facing, so the valley view is not there. Although we booked 3 rooms they were all inside facing.

Cons:

1. The amenities were basic. Few games were not working like the air hockey. The child play area was also under construction/maintenance. Also the high tea was not a buffet, and not included with the room which was strange. generally its complimentary with the room.
2. There was a Tea experience session as well, which was not really insightful. it was at 3 PM and went on till 4:30 PM. Tea tasting have only 3 times of tasting in 1.5 hours of session it was more of a selling session than tasting.
3. The breakfast buffet definitely needs a refresh, there were not too many options to eat. it was basic for a 5-star property like Taj.
4. The location says Kurseong, but Kurseong is an hour's drive from the hotel.

Over all the experience was good.
Pros:

I really enjoyed the indoor swimming pool setup but I think the area needs a private showering enclosure. The food was good. The staff was great.

Cons:

The amenities / extras provided in the room felt a little scarce. For the price we paid, the room should be stocked and restocked with the items over and over again during housekeeping or down service. Even water bottles placed were not enough for us. We had to call the house keeping multiple times a day to get them restocked. Same was for the bath towels. I would request the hotel to work on this.

beautiful property but at insanely high cost...
Pros:

the staff was very courteous... they always greeted you and were ready to help... they were always smiling... and never said no for anything.

Cons:

the resort is far from the main town of the location (Kurseong) and even further away than Darjeeling. Also the charge for the room were insanely high ... that is where they loose out on the value for money
