Our travel agent was almost apologetic about this place serving only vegetarian food and no alcohol except beer. In fact the food is so good that even committed carnivores should enjoy it although I would have preferred it to be more spicy instead of being dumbed down for other Europeans> We did mention repeatedly that we preferred spicy dishes but...

We were travelling to Kumbakonam to visit the temples around the Tanjore-Kumbakonam belt and came across this resort while making our travel bookings. It turned out to be a perfect choice of stay. Only hassle we faced was in finding this resort. After multiple calls to the hotel and an exhausting drive, we finally found the place. However, all our... More

we spent 2 days in this peacefull and very relaxing hotel, nice large rooms with a bathroom including a open roof shower, rooms are spreaded all over the garden, coconuts and tropical vegetation, nice large swimming pool, a treatment center where we had good quality massage, and vegetarian food, a little bit repetitive but excellent food, try the combo, all...

We stayed in Mantra between 12/24/2011 and 12/29/2011 (today). Its phenomenal to say the least. Property has been desgined with good concept and theme, food is mind blowing - I would rate it as the best resort I have ever stayed across India/USA. Kannan (General manager who is present onsite) touched our hearts with best hospitality. CEO Subbu should be... More

Mantra outdid themselves again. Based on a solo visit earlier, I decided to plan my first wedding anniversary at Mantra. Talk about a good decision! I have already reviewed the rooms, the amenities and the service. They were all excellent the last time around, and they were excellent this time too. The only difference was that we booked into the... More

Stayed in Mantra for 2nights/3days betweeen Oct 21-23. Excellent property with wonderful staff treating you with the best of warmth you could find anywhere. Resort was beautiful and extremely clean with "good old-day reminders" thrown at all characteristics including bathrooms. Spacious rooms and there is something called pannayar illam for large families. The way you are welcomed will give the... More

Went there with an objective of getting away from the madness of city, and did not regret it even a bit. After a long drive from Bangalore, and numerous detours, and multiple phone calls to Mr. Kannan the GM at the hotel, we finally made it to Mantra. As we were entering their main gate we noticed a traditional concert... More

I just got back from a wonderful stay at Mantra. In a word, the place is beautiful! Right from the welcome, with the bells ringing, the experience is geared towards making a person feel like a treasured guest rather than one more person who rents a room. All the formalities, such as the check-in, billing and check-out, are very efficient.... More

With our elders and siblings, we had a great time. There was simplicity and yet it was clean and modern. Service was good and staff were very willing to be of service to us - that gives us the greatest satisfaction, i.e. it was not the money but the experience and value for it. At the end of the stay,... More
