A comfortable stay in clean albeit slightly dated rooms. Stayed in a lake view 'cabin'. Peaceful view of the lake with the occasional houseboat floating past. Strange bathroom architecture with roof half open to the elements (eco-friendly?). Staff were friendly and accomodating. Try the fab local fish steamed in banana leaves - absolutely delicious. More

Beautiful location, rooms, and cool bathrooms. Helpful staff and the best honey-ginger prawns we've ever had! Gift shop is minimal. Themassage service makes up for any short comings- professional and knowledge able staff. Also, much better value than some other spots close by!!! More

This was our last stop on a 2 1/2 week blitz around India. I figured we would need a quiet peaceful place to unwind for a few days before the long trip home and this was definitely it. We were pretty bedraggled upon arrival and left refreshed and relaxed. We had a lake facing room near the pool which got... More

I agree with the other reviews, and would add that we got our driver to take us to the Bevco to pick up some Kingfishers, so we could enjoy drinks on the patio. Also our room was actually a small villa in a bamboo compound - spacious and comfortable, and with the curiosity of an outside shower, toilet and sink.... More

A lovely location on the lake, but overall the stay marred by a couple of issues. As a recent reviewer has said, there is no alcohol sold at the hotel because of religious reasons, but they don't mind if you get it from outside. That said, there is no focal place for people to congregate in the evening and after... More

A pleasant hotel in a lovely setting but not a lot to do especially if you do not have own transport. The choice of whether to drink alcohol is not a decision made by guests but by the Managing Director. who, we were told. has decided that as he does not personally drink alcohol then neither will it be available...

We stayed her for 2 nights in early december. It is a great hotel with good staff. There were performances by the pool both evenings. The food is good, though you might want to try the ala carte option for variety. For activities, there is nothing much. You could go for a cruise in a house boat, the hotel will... More

This is a beautiful resort set just beside the big lake. I was here for 5 days with my wife. We were looking for tranquil vacation in nature and we got just that. Resort has nice lake side rooms. It hasa a small pier to enjoy sunsets and quiet mornings, hammocks, nice swimming pool with a breeze from the lake... More
