“Homely Resort: Good only for a quick weekend getaway from busy Kolkata lifestyle.”
Dear readers, I present to you another of my well accepted candid review on Trip Advisor.
LOCATION: For people who are unsure of the location of this place, please note that this place is outside Kolkata....... almost 10 to 15mins drive from the Vidyasagar Setu (2nd Hooghly Bridge). Best and convnient way to reach here is by road (Kona Expressway). Hence, people who are in for business in Kolkata, you will be in trouble commuting between this place. Please...... use your own car to commute to this place since returning from here might be a big problem. Radio cabs may also be used for pick-ps.
OUR STAY: We stayed here for 2days (1 night), as a family weekend outing ..... during Christmas 2010. We were a family group of 12 people.
WHAT TO EXPECT: This property should be ideally called a "Resort".... definitely not a hotel. It is a huge and expansive property, good for relaxation. The facilities are perfect including swimming pool, racquet sports, salon, bar, restaurants, etc. People who want to get away from the hustle-bustle of Kolkata, this is a very good place. We were plesantly surprised to have a good Christmas dinner spread, including barbequed Turkey.
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: I feel that the place is a little overpriced. Promotional pricing would be a great idea to draw more crowds. Since the place is away from Kolkata, most of the people are not aware of this places existence. Returning from this place can be an ordeal, if you do not have a car or pick-up. The buffet spread in the restuarant is gala, but lot more expectation remains on the taste-factor.
OVERALL EXPERIENCE: This is an amazing 4Star (I may say) resort, for short holidays. Rooms rents maybe a little above budget, but overall experience is quiet satisfactory.
