This was our second stay at this exceptional property in Mahabaleshwar. This place is truly magical, from the minute you step into it. Check in during covid is set up outdoor next to conveniently located seating where the elders in the family could hang out while we waiting to check in. The staff at check-in was very courteous and offered us rose-water drinks to replenish. The villas are spaced apart with plenty of privacy, and if you’d rather not walk around the property, you can easily catch a buggy ride to where you want to go. Room was a good size, albeit slightly dated. (Could use a flooring change since some parts of the bathroom and room corners were stained).
The hotel has exceptional restaurants and we visited all of them on this trip. Breakfast is a majestic spread of multi-cuisine food (make sure you book a room with breakfast included). Staff at breakfast is extremely courteous and took such good care of us. We also absolutely loved our dinners here…once at Chingari, where chef Harmeet personally came out to greet us and set us off with food he chose for us! He was also around at breakfast, ensuring we were always taken care of. All other staff, Chinmoya, Devyanshi, etc were amazingly attentive too.
We loved our last dinner here at Woods— a pan-Asian outdoor dining experience. We enjoyed several dishes and drinks under the trees! Our nature walk with Harsh was also noteworthy. Staff even got us a bye bye gift! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!!
