We around 28 members visited the resort one week before. The resort ambience was good and attracting. But we were disappointed in some matters. One, the food they provided as a part of the package did not suit to the package norms. There was no variety in menu when we consider it from the rate they charged in package. Also we experienced much delay in getting food refilled. It was really dissatisfying from all of us. While they started serving food, we sincerely mentioned that our traveller driver was also there in parking ground. Normally we have seen and experienced a complimentary food for such persons from majority of resorts and hotels we have visited as part of school tours and staff picnics. But at the time of final billing, it was disappointing to notice that the food they provided for that old aged man was also charged with an amount of Rs. 750. One room was offered to us for fresh up purpose. But it was not also provided not considered in a timely manner. As a group who had conducted lots of school tours for our students and also staf tours to different resorts and picnic spots, such an experience was really disappointing to each of us. Even their resort ambience is good, they couldn't ensure that much quality in serving food within the package norms and also they failed to value or fulfil some ethical concerns which need to be considered favourably. So in short, we each of us report our dissatisfaction regarding their food policy and on some ethical issues. Thanking you

We went for a day put with our whole family. It was a family get-together. The package was good affordable with lunch, tea, snacks and pool facilities. Food was also good. Its an old property and they have added many new things to it. So the beauty is the river and the river view, old fashioned architecture. Its a good place for friends catch up, family get-together and also for family.

Our college reunion day out at this venue was truly remarkable. Nestled by the serene beauty of riverbanks adorned with beautiful trees, it provided an ideal setting for our gathering and was easily accessible.The staff demonstrated exceptional politeness, accommodation, and constant availability for any queries or support, enhancing our overall experience. A heartfelt thank you to the team for creating such a wonderful and memorable occasion.

Great place to stay! During my visit I found the staff to be a bit cranky..they have steic rules for pool usage with time restrictions so bachelors and other group travel please keep a note of this. The pool and food served is great. The airport is 15 mins away and the location is beautiful as it's along the Periyar River.
