This is the ideal resort for get togethers in Bhimashankar. The resort overlooked a beautiful pond with small temple in the vicinity. Beautiful birds flock there in the morning.
The rooms are recently renovated and hence well maintained and very clean. The executive rooms are huge with very clean bathrooms. While there are ample plug points, there is no television and the lack of mobile networks make it ideal for a digital detox. The linen needs upgrading. Small soaps are the only toiletries provided hence it is advisable to remember to carry your own as the resort is 2 km from the main road. Not sure how summers are as the rooms have only ceiling fans (ceilings are very high). Piped hot water is provided by solar heaters shared by groups of rooms.
The property has huge open space for parking and gardens. Children have ample open play area while the space in front of the rooms is ideal for large groups.
The hotel offers all meals food packages which may seem expensive but are advisable given the location. Best to negotiate at the time of booking. The buffet has limited options but offers freshly cooked tasty food. Tea kettles are not provided hence morning tea has to be ordered separately. Our interaction with the staff was good. They were helpful and polite.

The Blue Mormom Jungle resort is huge with many kinds of accommodation available, right from an executive cottage to independent bungalows. the area is flat with many old mulberry trees and a few of garden flowers interspersed with fish tail palms. Some part of the resort is old, frugal, would suit the trekkers and some is new and modern. Bathrooms everywhere are decent and clean, with water/ geysers. Handloom towels with small soap is what one gets once you checkin. The staff is very helpful, smiling and checking with you about your day's plans. The food is not included in the tariff, but a decent, tasty fare is available in the restaurant . tea kettles if provided in the room, will help travellers to cut down a walk across the vast expanse of the lovely terrain. Around the resort, there are two lake frequented by common birds . Its a calm place to sit and hear the wind or enjoy the beauty of nature. To put your legs in the cool water, sitting on a large stone. A walk around , can be steep as the roads are undulating. Perfect for people who have come to enjoy and experience nature, to see the nature in Bhimashankar, rather only as pilgrims.

This resort is about 10 KMs from bhimashankar temple, one of the 12 jyotirlinga temples. About 2 KMs you have to drive on bad road to reach bhimashankari manchar road which is very nice. The resort is in a vast area, with some patches neatly developed as a garden. They have a restaurent too. Food is decent and service is also good. Visitors are advised to carry their own torch light as power failures are frequent. When you are here, it is all peaceful all over. Difficulty in getting signals and no data connectivity at all. So real isolation when you are here but that is what makes it enjoyable.

This is a perfect place located at a plateau near the Bhimashankar temple and forest. Drive from Pune was scenic and roads were good, except a few 1-2km patches. This resort is spread over a large area. There is ample space around the cottages. Weather was unusually warm in that week. However cool winds all through the day made walking within and outside of the resort very enjoyable. We had booked an executive cottage, which had amenities setup well for the price and it was quite spacious. Our daughters enjoyed the play area, particularly the tall swing. We had vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian food and it was great. We did the booking by calling the number listed on their website. Overall we had a wonderful stay.

About 10kms away from Bhimashankar Jyotirling temple , the resort is situated and is accessible only by road. It was wonderful experience to stay in one of the well furnished rooms in a serene forest environment far away from the city. The restaurant provided us with good food. It was nice to spend strolling around in the evening and enjoying the scenic beauty of forest mountains and valleys

Had a calm and comfortable stay at Blue Mormon Bhimashankar for a night. Serene environment in a scenic setting. The sunrise in the morning was a feast to the eye in the morning hours from our cottage that was almost the last one in the resort. The resort is pretty close to Bhimashankar Jyothirlinga which was our main destination. A visit to the Palkhewadi tribal village, adjacent to the resort was a valuable experience. We visited a village home, sat and had a lovely chat and also gathered some farm fresh vegges. Airtel did not have reception but the rest were okay there. Very coperative staff. We personally thank Das the main cook for the very authentic, tasty breakfast and lunch we had. Amazing Poha and mouthwatering Barli Vangi, so also dal kichdi and the rest. Mr Patil of Blue Mormon thank you very much for your prompt replies on whatsapp and the guidance given for all queries. The six of us had an awesome stay!

We visited Bhimashankar in Jun '22 and it was a dreamy experience. The place is on a hill and we were literally in the clouds. The accommodation was very comfortable and there was ample greenery at the estate. Food is OK, would rate too high. But the location, ambience made up for it.

The resort is totally secluded though not inside the sanctuary. Bhimashankar is as it is a sparsely populated area and there is almost no human habitation around this resort.
I don't remember the fare exactly but I think it was around Rs.2500 per room (2 persons) including breakfast.
They have a fairly large restaurant and can cater to a very large group as they also host conferences and group picnics.
There are more places to choose from in the Pune area.
