Not worth money paid for
Pros:

Rooms were big and spacious, staff was courteous. Cart was good to move around the property

Cons:

One of the very few resorts that has all the potential to be a fine property, but unfortunately fails you in almost every direction and ends up being a very below-average experience.
The rooms are Maharaja-sized—spaciousness is certainly not an issue. Unfortunately, almost everything else feels run-down and poorly maintained. At check-in, we found lizards in the room. The refrigerator was so dirty and smelly that it had to be replaced. When the replacement finally arrived, it was simply placed on top of a shelf, which hardly felt like a proper solution.
The basic room amenities were also poorly managed. Toiletries were missing, there was no dental kit, and even the shower gel was limited. Initially, I assumed these were simply not provided. Strangely, by the next day, some of the missing items appeared.
The service experience was equally disjointed. Order something from room service and the dish arrives first, followed separately by the cutlery and then the glasses. It may sound like a small thing, but these repeated lapses make the entire experience feel uncoordinated.
Breakfast was another disappointment. At 9:00 AM—half an hour after the stated start time—the staff were still setting up the breakfast section. There were cereals but no bowls, and when we asked for them, it took almost ten minutes for someone to find them. Although the buffet table mentioned both hot and cold milk, no cold milk was available. The food itself was largely average. The one standout was the kachori, which was genuinely excellent.
The property outside the rooms was equally disappointing, with the surroundings being very slushy and poorly maintained.
One positive deserves mention: the staff were clearly working very hard and were polite and willing to help. The problem seemed less about the effort of the people and more about the property being seriously understaffed and lacking proper systems and supervision.
Even room cleaning reflected this lack of attention to detail.

Pros:

The location is extremely beautiful and the rooms are nice and clean

Cons:

The room service is very slow while the food and all is good. There villa rooms have one AC which is not enough citing the size of the villa so in summers it feels really hot.

Comfortable and well priced.
Pros:

I loved our room and the fact we were it of the city.

Cons:

Our bathroom could have been cleaner.
Noise from adjacent factory industrial site to hotel location is a downside.

A stunning getaway with warm hospitality, rustic-luxury tents, and seamless safari support!
Pros:

What a stunning location! The staff here redefine hospitality. The modern tents strike the perfect balance, rustic charm blended with all the comforts you need. Just a quick 30-minute drive from the tiger reserve, it’s incredibly convenient too.
A special shout-out to the ever-helpful office manager, Ranveer Singh, who arranged our jeep safari and personally met us at the forest gate with the tickets, so booking through him made everything seamless.
And the food… absolutely delicious! We ended up overeating at every meal.
Already looking forward to returning next year!

Cons:

Nothing!!!

A true get away from it all retreat
Pros:

This retreat genuinely captures all that is best about Rajesthan..you have the isolation the remoteness, the language barrier (which was a good thing) and that wonderful feeling when you don't know what is going to happen next!
The bungalows are huge and beautifully appointed, the place was quiet (after I asked them to turn off the horrendous piped music!) and the pool the perfect place to spend a day doing nothing.
The chef and waiting staff were so keen to please that we probably got served everything on the menu....not that there was one, which again was a delight.
The manager was also extremely attentive and I have to mention the grounds staff as they were such a happy little team!

Superb
Pros:

The location, the property and the pool. Stunning views and relaxing environment.

Having a private plunge pool was also lovely. As was having seating areas out to both the front and the side of the cottage.

Staff were very helpful and always available.

Cons:

There was not a safe in the cottage but should have been because this was advertised.

The bikes on site which are free to use were broken, which was a shame.
