Vatsyana resort ....don't visit

Reviewed By chetanb30

Vatsyana resort markets itself as luxury resort and truth is that it is located in mountains where there is actually nothing to see around as in middle of nowhere...there is very less green cover n barren mountains ..I must say that local staff is very kind n nice ..really hospitality...issue besides of being at a lonely place is major ...u only get meals at hotel as nothing 50km around ...food quality n selection is bad in a way that tasteless n bad combination. Ex- on high tea u get bread pakoda / samosa and biscuits..only 2 items ..food layout good but no taste at all ..the chef Mr Rawat is a very courteous n kind man ..he prepared 2 dishes in buffet on my request and they were really yum but rest sad ..others must have relished too. I felt the problem is with owners as they have a very dedicated staff and I would call them above average ..problem lies with owners as the budget n all on food and facilities is decided by them and what can staff do ..I felt do though no one said so . They charged me 15000 for a room per night n I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights but because of selection of food ..I'm unhappy as no options around at all and stuck at resort only .. I see most people visiting from nearby towns and I'm bold to say that people from cities like Delhi can be fooled for once by looking at the beautiful pics they send but nothing same . Rooms n washroom is above expectations n relay nice but food is sick ..delhi wallah won't like surely . Let's hope some new resorts opens nearby and serves good food ..I won't go or recommend anyone to go to " Vatsyayana resort " but I salute the beautiful n dedicated staff plus chef Rawat jee..

Imperial Heights Binsar

The pristine hinterland of Kumaon Himalayas has always been an inspiration for Imperial Heights. As you move into this boutique retreat, you will be amazed to experience authentic culture and nature that it has sealed within its teak interiors. Today, the word ‘Kumaon’ inspires visions of exotic hills, exceptional comfort, and the fascination of romantic & rugged nature. It is us at Imperial Heights who have been upholding this image.Perched 9 kms beyond the town of Almora, IH is tugged in a quaint village of Kasar Devi; approximately 2,100 meters above the sea level. The brainchild behind the resort, Mr. Bhupesh Joshi is a progressive Hindi Poet and a creative sketching artist. The well-manicured green patches in the resort are haven to range of flora and fauna that can be duly appreciated from Swarnika, the multi-cuisine restaurant that serves sumptuous Indian, Chinese and Continental delicacies.

Pests in the room, bad housekeeping, delayed food service

1. Breakfast starts at 9am and is open until 10:30am. Dinner starts at 9:00pm (though they claim it is 7:30pm). If you are not OK with it then don't go. 2. Pictures are very old, property is managed by limited staff which shows in how things are managed. Even reception has dust all around. Rooms are in bad shape. 3. I stayed with 5-6 spiders in the room. They were all around - Bathing area, washing area, behind mirror, at TV Unit, at entry door, at almirah. 4. While people visiting need to have ettiquetes but hotel should also have rule. I couldn't sleep for 2 days due to loud music by my neighbour in the night, and the next day a group was partying with noise and loud music until 4am. 5. Had to make calls on each day for water, tea-coffee, room cleaning, towel change. 6. Location is good. All rooms face north-west, so you can enjoy a good sunset. 7. Staff is helpful though.

Woodsvilla Resort Ranikhet

Woodsvilla (in Queen's land Ranikhet) symbolises success of the promoters dream. Their heart and soul lies in this Villa. It is a pleasure to watch colour change in the sky from golden yellow to sunset orange to deep purple and let Himalayas quietly embrace the moonlit night. Witness the most romantic union between the Himalayas and the moon. Ranikhet is pure heaven 6000 ft above the sea level.

I went to the washroom after check in at hotel to change my clothes and to me surprise there was a boy in light blue T-shirt at my bathroom window to peep in . I started shouting and tried to run behind him after room door opening too. He ran all above the stairs as something was fishy . To my surprise and my family surprise he was the staff member and manager dint get him in front of us even after telling his clothes color and his height and all . Later I myself went in search of the boy . I caught him at restaurants area and he again tried to come near me and started stammering as was guilty and i asked his name too and yelled on him that way were u doing at bathroom window and why u ran . But no help or reply from hotel staff too . Uploading the boys pics too in same clothes of light blue T-shirt in which he was peeping and ran . I forcibly asked his name he said Karan Bisht and to my surprise he started acting smart and again tried to Come near me . This place is not safe for woman at all . Don’t visit as staff tries to click ur picks while in bathroom from windows or tries to peep in to which no one will give u any solution

Queen's Meadows: Unforgettable Stay

We stayed here for two nights from 27 to 28 April 2022. The resort is located in jungle and one has to park the vehicle on the road below. The luggage is ferried by the porters to the resort which is around 15 minutes steep walk. The cottage has superlative amenities and awesome view. The food is extremely good. The hotel restaurant has an amazing ambience. We did trekking to Heda Khan Temple located in Chillyanaula Village. We had our lunch at machan which is beautifully made. I would love to come back and stay at QM again.

Anant Rasa By Aamod

Anant Rasa by Aamod (Ranikhet Hills) opens doors to Kumaon Hills of Uttarakhand. Probably one of the very few estates with unsurpassed views of the great snow peaks of Trishul, Nanda Devi, Kedarnath, Abhirani and many more. If views do not hold one spell-bound the walks, birds and fruit orchards of this estate leave one unplugged from maddening crowds.

Super if you are peace lover

Reviewed By karansh30

This is one of the peaceful resort i experienced . Till the time your reached there you will feel that you might have opted wrong resort as there are few challenges reaching there ( bad roads on a stretch 2 kms , kind of no road at all with lots of pat holes and stones ) . But once you reached at the resort , you will forgot all the pain and effort u did to reach there you will start liking it too much that you don't want to leave it for next few days . Pros : Scenics views Peaceful environment Forest side experience Himalaya views during day time Play areas for kids and adults both Service and people there are honest and simple and do thier job well Food is simple and good , not much spicy , Good to feast upon Cons Little remote , in case you want something urgent you have to reach down 2 km with broken roads No pickup and drop facility from hotel end in 4x4 vehicle in case you are stuck during climbing in your cars 2 km stretch before resort is quite pathetic and need some repair ( not recommended in rainy season )

Superlative Stay at Kasar Jungle Resort

We stayed here for one Night only on 25 April 2022. I regret that I stayed here only for one night. The resort has jungle huts with outstanding facilities. The Kasar Devi Temple is located only 400 metres away from the Resort and there is a track from within the resort itself. The staff is very hospitable and cooperative. The hut has excellent amenities. One must plan a stay of at least two nights.

The hotel is not well maintained. Although the staff is very good but they have limitation to provide you the services. This is very normal lodge which can not justify the Hotel amenities. Toilets are not very much cleaned. Not recommending with family.

Shivani Foods and Resorts Ranikhet

The best view of the mountains and delectable cuisine

Reviewed By abisht55

Shivani food and resort is the best spot to stay if you want to be tranquil, surrounded by scenic beauty, and eat wonderful food. It is located approximately 10 kilometers from Ranikhet. It is surrounded by mountains and lovely green plants. While organizing a family trip to Ranikhet, I stumbled across this place via MMT. The location is exactly as depicted in the photographs. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. They also arranged for a cab for us to go sight-seeing, and their delectable cuisine was the icing on the cake. Overall, Shivani Food is a must-visit if you're visiting Ranikhet.

A memorable trip with family and friends.

Reviewed By Jayantkango

Staying at Vanaprastha Resort has been a rejuvenating and unforgettable experience. The Resort's pristine location in the lush green forest and its proximity to Babaji's cave make it a perfect abode for spiritual vacation. We received a very warm and humble welcome. The owners of the resort were our hosts and spiritual guides which made the entire stay an unbelievable devine experience. The facilities were wonderful and the food was very good. I express my deepest gratitude to Mr and Mrs Alok Mishra for hosting us in this literal heaven on earth. They arranged everything from food to spiritual practices and sadhanas for making our stay one of the richest experiences we ever had.  We highly recommend staying at this place if you are a spiritual aspirant looking for inner peace in the heavenly abode of Babaji!
