I had a wonderful stay at this resort thanks to the breathtaking views and attentive staff. The rooms were spacious and clean, though be prepared for some additional walking due to the hotel’s hilltop location. Dining options are a bit limited and can feel overpriced, but the comfort and cleanliness of the accommodations made up for it. It’s a great choice if you value scenery and tranquility, but keep in mind the elevation might not be ideal for everyone.

I had a pleasant stay at this resort, enjoying stunning views and well-maintained rooms.

This resort is a hidden gem just a few kilometers from Ooty, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The spacious rooms are comfortable, but the bathrooms are surprisingly small. The dining area can get chaotic due to limited tables, but the food is delicious. While the service is generally excellent, some amenities could use improvement, especially the access to hot water and the need for more seating in the restaurant during busy times.
