Great stay at Villa Retreat

Review of Villa Retreat
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Mar 2024via mobile
We stayed at Villa Retreat for three days between 23 Feb and 26 Feb 2024. This our second time to the resort and definitely not the last.
Location: The resort is located right next to Cokker’s walk close to many eateries and shops. The bus stand is not far away too.
Ambience: We stayed at the room facing brilliant views of Perumal Malai. It was comfortable and perfect for our family of four. The staff were quick to address any issues we had and provided us with extra bedding to accommodate all of us.
Food: The resort has an excellent breakfast spread with a wide range of selections ranging from Indian to continental. The food gets a 10/10 from me and my 6-year-old who devoured the pancake and pasta. They also have kid friendly meals that are half in quantity and price too.
More than all of this, I love the staff working at the resort. Everyone from the receptionist to the resort manager were so kind and treated us with a smile always. None of our requests were met with a frown on their faces and it takes a special bunch to always put the customer first. Overall, if you are looking for a resort with good food, best ambience and great staff to support you, do not hesitate to stay at Villa Retreat.

This is a beautiful hotel that is a serene escape from the bustle of the town. Located conveniently to the bazar and Kodaikanal International School with stunning views from the garden down the mountain to the plains. Rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The entire staff was so kind and helpful making sure all needs were met.
It does not provide WIFI anywhere except for the lobby. It is nice to “unplug” but a little inconvenient when trying to keep in touch with people.

Room tip: The rooms need to have WiFi access.

The USP of Villa Retreat is its location. It is in a walkable distance to the bus stand, taxi stands, eateries and the Kodai Lake. But also has a great view of the Valley. We stayed in the Sun Room which had amazing view during the sun rise. The rooms were very clean. They are not so big, a bit cozy. May not be ideal if there are more than two people. Tbe restaurant service was also great with good food selection.

Villa Retreat has a beautiful little garden with stunning views over the clouds or valley below. It has very tasty food and friendly staff. It is perfectly located next to Coaker’s walk, just above Bryant Park and the lake and close to the town centre.

This is "THE BEST" place you could stay in Kodaikanal. Located in the heart of kodai..most tourist attractions are in walkable distance from the property. Sunrise view from this property looks like a dream. Complementary breakfast was very good with limited items. They have rooms in all price range. But fireplace is available only on selected rooms. Rooms were clean and tidy and smelled divine. Staffs were courteous and very helpful. Decent parking space available. Hot water supply was good. Overall a very good property which can turn your vacation memorable.
