Nice

Osmose service

BREAKFAST WAS OK, SHOULD IMPROVE THE TASTE, OTHERWISE OVERALL WAS A VERY GOOD & COMFORTABLE STAY. LOCATION WAS GOOD, ACCESSIBLE TO ALL NEAR BY ATTRACTIONS

BREAKFAST TASTE SHOULD IMPROVE MORE

Food and service

Some extra noise near resort

Breakfast was average.

The breakfast spread could have been better. The fruits spread was virtually non-existent which was a turn off.

Buffet was awesome and the dining place was also very clean and properly sanitised

Road is a bit congested to reach there

I have mixed opinions about Aranya Vilas. The advantages, it is spread over a sprawling area, surrounded by several trees and boasts of a little pond inside and at the same time it is very close to the old city centre. The rooms are essentially independent villas, massive but not neat attached with a balcony to sit and soak oneself in the greenery. One can walk around the area or sit by the pond and being very close to the city centre but shielded from the hustle and bustle make it advantageous.

Now coming to the disadvantages. The totally untrained staff lacks the professionalism that you expect in a place like Aranya Vilas. What was interesting is they advertise a good number of rooms as pond facing while effectively there are only two such villas. We had paid the price for pond-facing rooms but our villas faced other villas rather than the pond. It was a battle and there were no effective answers. The breakfast is alright, not extraordinary and the surprising bit was that we were asked to pay when we desired to pack a sandwich with us before heading out unlike most hotels and resorts where the staff courteously pack you a little “take-away”. The rooms seemed poorly maintained, the air conditioning was not working and we had to call the service a several number of times; to begin with the rooms smelt mouldy and we requested a change of sheets for they were unclean (with stain marks and hair). The bench in the room was full of foot marks. It seemed like the owners built the place and never bothered to upkeep it. A true potential wasted. Will I ever come back to stay here, I guess not!

Room was spacious and Pond facing.

It was raining and they couldn’t arrange an auto for us for the dinner. We took one of their umbrella’s. The restaurant we went to had few umbrellas kept in the rack and maybe someone might have taken it by mistake. so we couldn’t blame the restaurant nor anyone. They charged us with 1200 for the umbrella which I think was a turn off. I would be fine if the fine would be around 500-600 as 1200 was a rip off.

Perfect place to spend time with your family and loved ones. If you are tired from routine and need a break, this is perfect place to go. Staff is too good and service is also excellent. Food is also quite good. Overall 9.5 out of 10.

They have capped 1 litre of mineral water per person and after that it is chargable which is weird
