While the resort's proximity to Hampi island is surely its strongest selling point, the quality of service, food and accommodation surely don't justify the cost.
The staff is helpful and the property is well constructed but the room (perhaps the most important part of the stay) in itself does not allow for an exceptional stay experience.
Surely a large room for improvement in the property. Having said that, the lawns, the pool, the view make for a good change from a traditional hotel setup.
