This
is an amazing place! We went there during the monsoons for 2 nights and had a
great time. The spacious one bedroom apartment we stayed in had a lovely sit
out with a panoramic lake view and even had cable TV!

While
I enjoyed the spa, its huge and world class – where I had a foot massage which was
excellent – and provided a scenic lake view – the son enjoyed the children’s
activity centre which included a swimming pool, an indoor games centre (table
tennis anyone?)
All meals
were eaten in the restaurant which has a limited a la carte menu but full
buffet spread. We had the buffet – nothing to complain about but with my
evolved foodie tastes was only acceptable. I don’t hold this against the resort
as obviously they have to cater to all tastes from Jain Indian upwards..
The bar
is slated to open soon, till then you can carry your own booze and drink in the
privacy of your room.

The nearby
hill looms over the resort and the resort organises treks for those who are
interested.
The resort
has undertaken extensive planning of trees and shrubs so it will be evergreen –
was emerald green in the rains!
Going
by the location I would imagine that the resort is great from monsoon season
till end of winter – June to February.
Since
the resort is only for Club Mahindra members and their guests – I suggest you
snag a booking and go there soon – for a peaceful get away from Mumbai or Pune!
Its pretty
hard to get a long weekend or even a weekend booking – they take bookings only
a month in advance – so fastest finger first on the 1st of the month
will do the job!
The
reason I LOVED it: the resort gave us the proximity to nature – which providing
the creature comforts
