This was my first stay with Serai properties and I was very happy with my overall experience. The property is amidst the Bandipur Forest reserve and is cosily tucked away beautifully. Surrounded by the view of the Nilgiris and the deep forests, it makes a wonderful choice for any kind of travellers who are looking towards a short vacation for relaxing your mind & body as well us punch in some adventure. Great food, great staff make it a great experience. The food, swimming pool are good additions to the resort. Lastly, a wonderful Spa experience at their in-house spa "OMA"

Everything was fabulous. The room, property, food, staff were great. Can't complain.
The property is in the middle of the jungle , well protected from wild life by electric fencing. They have Courtyard and residence rooms. We chose Courtyard rooms this time. Having stayed at residence before, it doesn't matter as I would prefer these rooms over bigger counterparts. Residence has extra terrace (which attracts insects given that its in the jungle) and a separate sitting area, whereas, Courtyard rooms have sitting area in the same room. Since the courtyard are still very big ; facilities are on par, I would recommend these.

Beautiful, clean pool; wonderful natural setting.
Ate here exclusively for our stay and left with food poisoning; said mountain view from room, but this was obscured by trees.

I have been to various Serai properties in Karnataka and this one is one of the nicest Serai properties. Tucked away right next to Bandipur Tiger Reserve, it is an excellent wilderness getaway. The rooms are high quality - especially loghuts have the African tent safari feels and courtyard rooms are also nice. The property has all amenities including foosball, billiards/pool, ..the staff is amazing - very courteous and great service. We went in Dec 2021 where breakfast was included in the room fare but rest of the food was ala carte. Breakfast has an excellent spread with everything including idlis/dosa/continental breakfast, puri bhaji, etc...The food from the menu is slightly pricey (depending on your appetite and taste but it is easy to spend 1000INR per person per meal) but it is really delicious. There is not much to do here other than nature walk that they do in the evenings and game drives (this is on extra charges).
Most rooms maximum allow 3 people; they just have 1 room called superior courtyard that fits in 4 people due to an extra room. This means a family of 4 with 2 teens have to book 2 rooms unless they get the superior courtyard which is just 1 room. I understand why they restrict to 3 but if they can make an allowance for 4 for family with 2 teens who want to share a room; there is space to put two small rollaway beds in most room types including residence, loghut and courtyard. Let the family have the choice instead of forcing them to book two rooms.

Nature walk by Mr Imran was simply super outstanding... the thought of my Basvanna to make Jain sambar pro actively was baffling and the manager Nicksons understanding was unimaginable
The spa needed to be better, infrastructure-wise and also the male masseuse was not upto the mark...

The breakfast spread was great. The staff were always attentive. The view from the restaurant is splendid ! We had a fab time at the resort. The nature walk with Mr. Imran, which we took up thanks to the enthusiasm of our little one...is a must do ! Amazing that a part of the property is actually part of the real forest. Walking around n learning about nature was an experience we will cherish !
Nothing to complain about !
