Disappointing at best
Cons:

At the time of booking we had requested for rooms close to one another. They allotted us room 3 & 13 which was not even in the same wing. At the time of check in the front desk manager had the audacity to suggest that maybe we go looking for accommodation elsewhere since they were unable to give us rooms next to each other.at 9 pm after having traveled for 8 hrs I was expected to lug my 65 yr plus parents & 2 year old toddler to another property. After much ruckus they did give us rooms close to one another on the next day. 2nd time staying at an hrh property in Udaipur and like last time this also was not a pleasant experience. Safe to say we will not be returning to this property again. They shd inform guests at that time of booking that the venue has been booked for weddings - everything is a hassle including parking of the car

We went for the new year eve party which was excellent. The band , the dinner , the drinks all were great value for mone
Pros:

It’s well appointed with good interiors

Cons:

There is no accessibility concern with the management for senior citizens. Car are not allowed to get upto the porch and even senior citizens have to walk little incline to reach the portico. The suites are upstairs and we were told that it’s only 10-11 steps, but in reality it was almost 20-25 steps without any lift . The whole space is not wheelchair friendly.

A beautiful heritage property in a scenic setting, but our stay was let down by excessive noise.
Pros:

The property is set in a beautiful location and has a distinctive heritage character with great lake and mountain views. Staff were pleasant.

Cons:

Our overall stay was marred by several issues that affected comfort and convenience.
The most significant concern was the noise throughout the night and early morning. The chickens and geese around the grounds were particularly loud, making it difficult to sleep. This was compounded by building work starting early each morning and continuing late into the evening, which further disturbed the peace and quiet expected at such a property.
The internet connection was highly unstable, cutting out completely one evening and not returning until the following day. We later learned that the issue was caused by a damaged external cable, but at the time staff were unable to offer an explanation or solution. As the television also operates via the same internet connection, this meant no access to TV or online services. The hotel may wish to consider installing two independent internet lines to prevent such disruptions in future.
We were also disappointed by the restricted water policy, with only two small bottles of drinking water provided per room per day, and any extras charged at a disproportionately high rate. For a hotel of this standard, a more generous and guest-friendly approach would be appropriate.

Best place, must visit and definitely my all-time favourite.
Pros:

The food was amazing. The view from the room as well as the corridor – deers and peacocks was surprising and beautiful. The location of the dining area and the lake, the campfire at night was best indeed.

Cons:

No comment.

Good but expected more..!!
Pros:

The vast spaces, the serene atmosphere, the unique landscape and the varied spots in the property

Cons:

There is no value addition to the place when compared to the earlier times we had visited. The missing deer park makes a visible difference & the swimming pool needs a major facelift. The addition of AC restaurant Hall with the lawn will change the overall atmosphere of the place

Enjoyed my stay, a hidden paradise on the outskirt of the city...
Pros:

Breakfast decent, with limited options...property outside the city but a paradise for nature lovers...with a private stud farm, a lake, and a small airport...can see deer & peacocks in abundance...

Cons:

Property outside the city, hence a car or a taxi necessary for going anywhere, due to some ongoing construction activity going on, there was sound rattling in the daytime

Superb
Pros:

Location is exceptional and the staff are really available and helpful. It was definitely a wonderful stay. the view from the room was the main attraction for us. Had a great stay.

Cons:

Only negative was the price. we paid 7200 per room, which we didn't find was worth it, as any other activities we opted was also additionally charged.
