Food is plentiful and probably has to be cooked according to western tourists, but is therefore much too blend, not for lovers of real indian food and quite expensive at 425 RPs. The setting though is nice and the service great. More

I visited the Jungle Retreat over 2 days. The drive time from Bangalore is more or less 5 hours with a short stopover in Mysore. The roads are pretty good except for the narrowness of the one lane highways typical of India. Upon reaching Jungle Retreat at 10 AM, we were greeted by the staff and helped ourselves to some...

We stayed in a deluxe room for 2 nights, which perhaps could have done with a bit of sprucing up, but we loved being able to see hornbills and spotted deer right outside our room!! We booked our holiday tour through Kerala Travel Centre in the UK, so the room, food and 2 jeep safaris were already paid for. We... More

Saw 2 mongoose, black-faced monkeys, hornbills plus myriad of other unknown... More

Staff is very courteous, friendly and helpful. Food served was good. They even arranged for a jeep safari for us. Rooms are spacious. All in all a great stay. But priced slightly... More

The staff was very personable and quick to respond to all requests. The property is beautiful and the rooms are spacious. Very knowledgeable drivers were arranged who took us... More
