Our recent stay at this resort, as Club Mahindra members, left us rather underwhelming. While Mahabaleshwar itself is serene and beautiful, the resort experience didn’t live up to expectations. The property feels dated and worn out, with poorly maintained internal roads that make even getting around the resort inconvenient. Rooms (booked Hotel Unit) are very basic, and the bathroom setup is especially poor—every shower resulted in the entire floor getting flooded, making it uncomfortable and potentially unsafe. Cleanliness needs attention. Check-in and check-out were smooth, but when we requested information about the food and beverage package, the reception team seemed unequipped to answer on two separate occasions. We had to wait while someone else was brought in to assist us, which delayed things unnecessarily and much to their detriment. Food and beverage prices were steep, likely due to the remote location. We alternated between room service and outside restaurant food. Room service itself was fairly prompt, and the staff—especially housekeeping and in-room dining—were courteous and accommodating throughout. Comfort-wise, the beds were good. However, when we requested an extra bed for our child (5 yrs), we were quoted ₹2000 per night, which felt excessive, so we chose not to proceed with it. The room also had a noticeable damp, musty smell on arrival, which only improved after switching on the AC and adjusting the settings. Connectivity was another issue—Wi-Fi was unreliable and patchy, and mobile reception was limited. To top it off, there was a power outage one evening, and oddly, the generator didn’t start immediately, leaving us without electricity for an extended period. All in all, it was a very average stay, and certainly not what one would expect from a Club Mahindra property. While the staff made genuine efforts and the natural beauty of Mahabaleshwar was a highlight, the resort itself needs serious maintenance and upgrades before it can be recommended with confidence.
