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

Pros:

The location was good. Property is well maintained.

Cons:

For the room cost, I didnt find it value for money. I have experienced better service in the past from other Taj properties.

Our room shower fittings had to be repaired. The room was not equipped with water bottles, towels etc. Basics that should be already in place. Again, it was not value for money. The breakfast spread was quite limited. The wardrobe did not have any shelves, just hangers. Where does one keep stuff.

Probably the best hotel in the area
Pros:

Rooms, restaurants, gardens, services, and cleanliness were up to the standards.

Cons:

Given the price of the hotel, I did not appreciate the activies like tea garden visit were chargeable.
Darjeeling town is extremely polluted and we were looking forward to some fresh air at the hotel terrace. Unfortunatelly they allow workers from their own construction site to burn toxic plastic waste of which the smell reached the room and restaurant area.
