I had been here with my parents in the first week of Jan 2022. This was our first trip post the pandemic, so we were very skeptical if the resort would be crowded and the hygiene of the place but all our concerns vanished once we reached this place. We had booked a cottage room but Mr. Ravi at the reception was prompt enough to inform that some renovations were going to start next to our cottage and it might be inconvenient for my parents considering they are senior citizens. He offered us the Deluxe room and we are glad we took that option. The room was very clean and sanitised. The view from our room was splendid and breathtaking. My mother has some difficulty in walking so he promptly gave a wheelchair for her to reach the room from the reception. It was very considerate of him to do so. The entire staff is very hospitable and extremely well behaved. The view from the Panaroma Cafe is way too mesmerizing. So many veg options in breakfast, lunch and dinner that we were spoiled for choice. 😄 We just relaxed in the resort, enjoyed the view and of course the food. All in all a very nice place to visit with your family for a short break.…

We as a family had a very pleasant stay at the Dukes. Executive room with hill view stay was really good. Staff were very courteous. Breakfast was largely spread & was really good. We did explore games, swings & the near-by garden. Game room have to be maintained.

We stayed there for 2 nights, rooms were dirty and washrooms smells like hell. Floor were not cleaned, menu card did not followed by the hotel. Check-in and out has only one counter (one computer) so long waiting.. Not advisable for family and others...

The hotel had taken the booking for marriage for 2 days during the same time as our stay hence we were not able to use the pool, bar, panorama cafe. This was disappointing. They had not informed us in advance. It was not worth the money spent. Kids were bored as they did not have any activities to do in the resort. Food was not upto the mark. Options in Buffet for breakfast and lunch were limited. Altogether very unsatisfactory. I would not recommend.

Went with frnds for weekend. Things are perfectly maintained. Staffs are really good and helpful. Evening snacks and a la carte at seems bit overpriced compared to 3 star category. They claim service open 24 by 7 , but food service gets closed by 10.30. We have ordered food from outside. Thankfully they allowed outside food. Most unprofessional thing I found for refund. We have booked 2 room for 5 pax but checked in only 4. Still they haven't refund or reverted on mail even after 2 weeks .
