Detailed Reviews
This place is placed off the main city but only as far as a twenty minute drive to the main locations of Mysore.
Good
The food was great (both veg and non veg). The cook and the serving staff are very courteous and helpful. The surroundings are well kept and it is constantly echoing the chirpings of birds. There is also a great indoor play area but is left in explored by most guests. The eating units of the lawn restaurant is also very nice for a long meal.
Bad
The major issues is with room cleanliness. Dirty towels, poorly maintained door knobs, and there was dead insects in the bathroom as we entered. From a customer experience standpoint the staff also does not look into small aspects like offering welcome drinks to customer, extra charges for baby meals, not providing even an extra bottle of water on check out day etc. The children’s park and the swimming pool can be better maintained. The kids activities are also few given that the rides and games are not working anymore.
It is such a good place but it can be much better with some attention to these details

We with my parents and 2 years old toddler visited the resorts this peak holiday season. The property is lovely and properly maintained as seen according to the bad covid hit.
Pors:
Big Clean and green decorated property
Play area for kids
Indoor games and pool
Courteous staff
Good Food and on-time
Clean rooms
Cons:
If you do not have your own vehicle, the location could be challenging as it is pretty far away from the city, and like no shops around
Outdoor restaurant space needs a lot of improvements
Parking space could be a bit more improvised.

The executive rooms end before they start. There is no door frame to the bath room doors making the door as good as does not exist. Terribly small bathroom. If you choose elegance rooms they are better. Resort is good. Swimming pool and the kids play area are the only items you can enjoy for free. Food at the restaurant is good. Penne Arabiatta pasta and the schezwan fried rice were good. They need to include more pics of every room other than just the bed.

This hotel was recommended as top best stay at Mysore. As so we booked the hotel. Though the facility at the resort is good, but following are the main draw backs and why I wouldn't recommend
1. Even after the booking room at this restaurant. The management don't have a courtesy to call us and confirm the booking and arrival. We need to call multiple times.
2. I request for simple candles for the dinner as we are newly married couples. There was not response from the management.
3. Outdoor dinning was available but they didn't even mentioned in arrival and showed us the path to highest noisy indoor dinner hall with no cultured guests and staff who are busy in there own billing business.
4. After dinner was ordered. It arrived after 45-50 min and first only ordered food we brought without any serving plates and we kept requesting them, then no spoons, then we requested for sauce and salad was just a dream.
5. None of them served the food. They just kept the food on the table for the dogs to feed.
6. Besides, I observed that the plates kept outside the door upon room service we lying there from the day of check in to check out.
7. While booking it was offered that there would be free parking. But initially parking inside the resort was denied and then provided later in some corner without any dedicated parking space.
8. Towels and bedsheet we old and not replaced.
9. Only single quantity of shampoo and soap for a couple was offered for a couple and with no hand wash in the washroom. I wonder what nonsense is this.
10. Non of the staff in the dinning area speak kannada and give us the option to talk in Hindi or English only.
11. Morning breakfast complementary, but worst than night dinner. All food were prepared early morning and served cold and donuts were hard as stones.
12. Dinning tables we not cleaning regularly and dish plates were not cleaned properly.
13. They neither provided tissue paper for cleaning the plates too.
Trip advisor plz visit the place anonymously and recommend the guests.

Responded 1 Jan 2022
Dear Mr.Arjun Thanks for sharing your feedback. We highly regret for the inconveniences caused to you. We have looked into the case, and found that there was a delay in restaurant service due to the long holiday rush and indoor restaurant was the only place available for dining. The outdoor restaurant was full to offer you with guests waiting. From the tone of your comments, it looks like you are more keen on a personal attack than being honest in your feedback. FYI, calling our other guests uncultured, make us doubt on your culture. Please note we cater family crowd with kids and can't be operating as silent zone. Why you expect someone to speak in kannada , when you can converse in english. FYI we have employees who can speak multiple languages. We don't take any special arrangements in our common dining on a long weekends and holidays. Any special requests are entertained only on weekdays and with advance booking, at extra cost. We operate a resort and not provision stores to stock candles. The plates are cleared and left in the corridor from departure rooms to be picked up later. Parking is ample and on first come first serve basis. We expect you to be well versed with how resort /hotel operates as we don't call any one if it is a prepaid/ guaranteed booking. Our plates are cleaned and wiped, so no need of wiping the plates again. On your other observations we found everything fine and nothing average. We wish both of you a happy married fruitful life ahead. You are always welcome as our guest and I am sure you will definitely have a change of opinion Regards For Jalmahal resort General Manager

Had booked a Suite for 2 days , price was reasonable but the room but not kept clean , there were stains on all sofas , the wall paper was torn . Service was pretty poor , for everything you have to remind them twice , including cleaning , For the second they didnt clean the room all , just made the bed didnt clean up the table where food was kept from previous room service . Bath rooms were not clean. Plumbing was bad , speed of water flow was very very slow . I call them up asking them about they said tht is how it is.

The Resort as such is very nice and clean, but the team there are highly uncompetitive to handle crowd. The day I landed, there was a marriage happening and obvious was crowded. As result I was not given a parking, while the booking mentioned as parking included. Hairdryer not available as standard, but requested one was not usable, the rooms are clean, but had broken wash room accessories, blocked sink and most important of all absolutely no flexibility in breakfast timings. when I requested for a late breakfast, the reply was a blunt "NO".
To reach out to a manager to talk about the discomfort, it was 30 mins wait for me at the reception. I could not also cancel, as it was a advance payment at the time of booking. I finally decided to checkout changing the plan to another alternate location.
Since I am a frequent traveler, I am generally used to hotels and resorts with better hospitality and flexibility. This was not the fact at this place. Hence a very poor rating for my side.

Nice place for stay and very delicious breakfast.
You might be wondering why did I give 2 star even though it's nice place for stay with awesome breakfast?
Here is the answer:
We had selected executive room with breakfast for myself, wife and small kid. As we were travelling via Mysure, we wanted to spend night there and take some rest. We reached hotel around 10:30 at night. We slept and next day morning, we were checking out after breakfast. They send a person to check the room and the person came saying Kettle is not working. However, we didn't get time to even plug in the kettle to check that is working fine or not. I conveyed same and they checked with their management. They concluded that it might be by someone else and we were not charged extra. But, it was very embarrassing situation for us. When I shared this experience with one of my friend, he mentioned that same thing happened with him before 2-3 years.

Jal Mahal is a great place to visit with family, friends, and pets. Yes, pets!!!! Though we selected this resort mainly because it was pet friendly, we realised that this decision was the best ever made. Jal Mahal is a beautiful property, with amazing food and hospitality. We stayed at the Jacuzzi Suite, and wow! What a great experience it was!! Chef Vinod is great, so is Anjum Ma'am... And the General Manager. Yes .. within two nights of staying at this place, we were able know these dedicated people, who run the place very well. We weren't really worried about the lack of use of the swimming pool or other activities ( due to strict COVID protocols that the resort has to follow as mandated), we really didn't miss any of these much. Our entire family was happy, including our pet ( who was treated really well) and none of us missed these things.
Food was amazing, so was the ambience.
This is one of the best pet friendly resorts you can visit. One of the best resorts even otherwise. They have a specially curated menu for pets! Yes!!
It may not be the biggest resort ever, but the best place for a relaxing holiday ( with or without pets) . But if you do have a pet, this is ONE property, you HAVE to visit!!!!!

Our experience fell short of our expectations during our 5-day stay. In the initial 2 days, we encountered a few issues. Firstly, the breakfast was not served hot, which was disappointing. Additionally, when we informed the reception about our preference for an eggless cake to celebrate a birthday, they mistakenly provided us with a cake containing eggs.
Moreover, there was a lack of South Indian dishes on the lunch and dinner menus, which made it less suitable for kids. Furthermore, the swimming pool lacked facilities for children, and the service from the staff was notably slow.
It's important to highlight that this property is more suitable for short one-day weekend stays.
