Pros:

Beautiful and spacious rooms, the food was excellent and the employees very accommodating and friendly.
And the little cats were the icing on the cake. Loved to see them and play with them. I hope the hotel will take good care of them and neuter them.

Pros:

Staff was nice, food was tasty.

Cons:

Very noisy, upper rooms moved furniture until midnight, we could hear ajacent rooms, and there was some construction in the site. In addition, it is loxated on a steep hill, which creates difficulties for cars to access, this means you are dependant on hotel's pickup waiting for them to come you to and from the hotel. Not convenient at all.

Pros:

The rooms are spacious, neat, and very clean. Essential toiletries, including toothbrushes and soap, were provided. The room also features a large TV that comes fully loaded with all major OTT and streaming subscriptions.
Swimming Pool: The best feature of the resort. It is clean and offers lovely scenic views.
The complimentary breakfast spread was tasty and well-arranged.
The resort drivers were very courteous, skilled, and helpful.

Cons:

The approach road to the resort passes near a rocky area and is a concrete road with an extremely steep incline. The issue isn’t ground clearance, but the sheer slope of the climb. If another vehicle comes down from the opposite direction while you are climbing, stopping midway makes it nearly impossible and very dangerous to restart and pull forward on that steep gradient. It is best to call the resort beforehand and rely on their experienced drivers to handle the drive.
Because the property sits above this hazardous slope, it is strongly advisable to avoid staying here during heavy monsoon seasons.
Minibar & Service Issue
The room has a mini-fridge stocked with snacks and drinks (Snickers, Coca-Cola, cashews, etc.), but these carry a steep 50% markup above MRP. At the time of booking, I specifically requested that no chargeable items be kept in the room. Despite following up twice after check-in, the staff never removed them.
Views & Activities: Outside of the pool area, there are no special viewpoints on the property, and on-site activities are practically non-existent.
non-complimentary lunch and dinner at the resort restaurant are quite expensive. A practical alternative is to drive about 1.5 km down to Anachal town, where you will find good restaurants serving delicious, budget-friendly food.

We had a great time at the property. No regrets. Recommend to friends and others.
Pros:

The Breakfast spread was good, friendly and courteous staff.

Cons:

There is no permit room. Being a hill station, having a nice restobar will be an added attraction to the property.
