We had the most unexpectedly wonderful time at the Upper Deck. But to get there you have to be willing to take one of the bumpiest rides you will ever take.
The Upper Deck is on the very top of a 2,500' plateau, overlooking deep chasms, wondrous geological formations, and a beautiful, large lake. The views are breathtaking and inspiring.
The nice, small suite with all meals (and afternoon tea) included for two costs about $250 per day before taxes. For a unique experience in a quality resort hotel, the price seems quite reasonable to me. And we were treated with such a consistent happy attention that we just loved the staff. They are friendly and ready to make your stay as comfortable as possible. And speaking of comfort, the suite includes an amazing massage chair, that truly gives one a full-body massage that is relaxing.
The grounds are landscaped beautifully and impeccably maintained. They include actual lawns, which are pretty rare in India. There is a pool and many lovely patios to meet with friends or mix with other guests.
My wife and I are walkers and when we inquired about taking a nature walk down to the lake and around the countryside, we were provided a wonderful, gentle, knowledgeable guide for a two-hour walk at no additional charge.
The food was very good Indian cuisine with both Indian and Western desserts. And when my wife expressed an interest in how Dosas are made, she was shown in detail and given a recipe.
There is no question that is stop through Lonavla again we are sure to stay at this unique property.
