Jungle Retreat Reviews

I stayed in the tent house in this resort, it was quite a good experience. Good place to enjoy the nature, the noise of some wild animals you could hear from here.Hospitality wise they took good care of us

Excellent place for nature-lovers who want to be close to nature, love peace & quiet, and want to be far from the madding crowds.

Excellent place for nature-lovers who want to be close to nature, love peace & quiet, and want to be far from the madding crowds. You\'d love it! If you\'re a noisy party-lover with pals - this is not the place for you - and they\'ll tell you that! They take only parties with more than 40% women :) - family friendly - bachelor unfriendly...

Best Experience: Great people, Daniel has very good experience as a guide, and it clearly shows. We were lucky to spot a leopard and a tusker in an evening trip. The Bamboo Hut was great, a different experience. I believe the treehouses would be even cooler!

Worst Experience: None.

We had a relaxing weekend amidst a beautiful jungle away from maddening city. This resort is built on the fringes of Masinagudi forest and feels much in the jungle. Herds of spotted deer grazing very nearby the cottages is really an experience. This resort is full of foreigners who hop on here as a part of their tour itinerary. The food is very steeply priced and is very basic (Rs. 200 for Coffee, Tea and Cookies is steep indeed).

Best Experience: Having a cocktail by the bonfire in a chilly night and sharing wildlife sighting experiences with fellow guests.

Worst Experience: The deluxe room offered to us was a let down. It looked like an unfinished one and that too with a tin roof. We had a look at other cottages and they very really good. Not fair on the part of resort to pass on this unfinished cottage.

Oh, I have no words to describe this place. Masinagudi is an awesome place and Jungle Retreat matches it with fantastic jungle experience. We were 2 families including 3 kids (5, 4, 2 years) and we had one of the best vacations here. Masinagudi itself is a beautiful place, close to nature with forest, birds & animals and hills. Jungle Retreat cottages are very much inside the forest, on the foot of the hills. They have close to 30 acres in the forest area and have converted 10-odd acres into cottages. The cottages are spread over this area and are very neatly maintained.

Best Experience: There are many aspects that are very good about the place. - Undoubtedly, the swimming pool. The pool is located at the foot of the hills and overlooks a range of hilltops. It's really a gorgeous sight. Even though the place is cold and breezy, it's worth taking a dip in this stunning pool, for the view. - There are many deers within the Jungle retreat campus. We woke up one morning and there was a herd of deer right in front of our porch and it was a great feeling. Kids just loved it. - Cottages are widely spread within an area of 10 acres giving a sense of privacy to all.

Worst Experience: There were no 'worst' experience. But, we were expecting that there would be some trekking in the forest or hill. Due to an untoward experience of a French lady being killed by a wild elephant in the recent past (not in Jungle Retreat but in the same forest range), they had stopped trekking activities, which was a disappointment for us. The swimming pool has a rough finish (to give a feeling on natural pool) and a bruise here and there is not avoidable.
