I just finished my vacation here. its very nice Resort and very good hospitality. Before I am going there I thought its expensive. But its worth every Rupee. I had great sleep, even my wife.

Have to confess - almost a year since my visit to Serai, but felt its worth writing a review about ...that too with the Indian summer now and lots of ppl planning trips. Its a luxury resort within a plantation, in fact just at the beginning of the plantation. Located on a slightly hilly area....just after chikmagalur town. The plus... More

I along with my wife had gone there last sept for a Day. We had heard a lot about this property being the best and better than Taj, but was utterly disappointed. Right from the start, the booking call centre people in bangalore were too pushy in trying to get the confirmation and then the payment, constantly remainding us that... More

My family and I stayed there in a villa for three days. The attitude of the staff was outstanding -- very friendly and helpful, and it is a rare indeed in India to find that balance. The food was good, if you are into Indian cuisine. The villa itself (and the private compound and pool) was excellent. Highly recommended if... More
