It was a pleasant stay. I liked the room and the environment. The breakfast was awesome. The staffs are friendly and courteous.
Need to improve the cleanliness of the toilet. The check in was not guest friendly. I had to wait even though I made the booking very early.

The staff, especially Ramasamy, provided us with exceptional service. Additionally, the room size was adequate, and the location was convenient.
The food was quite disappointing, and there was much construction work in the area. Additionally, I noticed some issues with the bathrooms, such as a leaking shower and loose screws. Given the high cost of the place, I was left feeling a bit disappointed with the value I received for the money I paid.

Place is walk able distance to lake where boating,cycling,horse riding and shopping are near by
Indoor Game timing is up to 8:30 only. But bar is opened till 11:00 PM.This could have kept open till 11:00 or 12:00.
Cycling option could be much better, there can be double pedaling cycle with good quality.

I have been waiting for an update to my request. I couldn’t travel bec of some health emergency. Reached out to both booking team and sterling team 2 days before. No response. I got an email saying I will get a response in 24 hours but it has been 4 days and no response. This is absolutely disappointing

A standard resort style property.
They did not accept the international credit card.
It is just a 3 star property, not 4 star or 5 star!

Rooms are not clean and it’s not clean. the bed is not comfortable at all, I had requested for the extra bed which was terrible. New Years eve DJ and food was really poor. They don’t have parking space for the cars, and they charge for children’s games and other amenities like snooker etc.

Property has good garden area. That’s it.
Do not book this property if you don’t want to feel cheated. A budget hotel also provides better services than this one. Asked for a towel, never came. Used old towels and went to the reception to understand the hold-up, and they lied that it was delivered 5 minutes ago. Their property is not kids and elders friendly either. If you want to use their buggy service, there is minimum wait time of 25 minutes. Buffet experience is abyssmal as well. Our family of 6 could never sit at the buffet for 2 minutes, as we were always scrambling for something - no tissues, no spoons, wait time of 20 minutes for any dosa, toasted bread. And if a waiter takes your order and says they’ll bring to your table, do not fall for that. You’ll end up empty stomach. If you order for room service, make sure to order 1.5 hrs before. And do not expect good food. Pasta comes without seasoning, tomato soup without bread crumbs. We asked for a onion-less biryani, but they sent with onions. And all of this in one Single order. We chose to swiggy from next day. For checkout bill, ask them an hour before if you want your further plans to not be ruined. Coming to rooms, rooms don’t have lake view. And most rooms have balcony overlooking other rooms’ balcony. They have only Tamil channels. To watch india World Cup match in Hindi/English commentary, their technician came to the room 5 times and said everytime “we are checking the antennae”. As you can guess, the match got over, but we didn’t get the Hindi/English channel. I can only be grateful that the stay is over. We will never be returning to this overpriced property.
