The rooms were spacious and we felt one with nature. could hear all types birds & insects. a pleasant stay

Best Experience: the local tour options provided / arranged at very reasonable rates. extra curricular activities to each ones taste.

Hello!!! to all living out of the bags. I recently took a holiday at the Club Mahindra Kodagu Valley....Wonderful place... i mean Coorg for its natural beauty. CM-Kodagu Valley location by itself is beautiful and scenic but then you r cut-off from everything. For basic necessities you need to drive 5 KM and thats a lot considering that theres nothing in between... Transport is expensive. Tell you what if you are looking for solitude.. then its a fantastic place to relax and lay back.. Imagine 12 Deg at night... The accomodation is fascinating and the 1BR rooms that we stayed had a view of the valley. I am not sure about the Studio apartments. They do have a nice nature trail (chargeable for any activities but tis worth). My wife went for one of those Burma bridge or something of that sort. The swimming pool is small although and u have some crazy people around. .Food is great and reasonable... 600 p.p/day.. They have a buffet system& yes an excellent CHEF- SUMAN... My toddler who is 2 year old has his likes but Suman made sure that he didnt meet disappointment.. CM also has an exclusive Veggie treat restaurant. They have indoor recreational activities... beware of that housie game... Thats for making money for CM. Money pooled and the money distributed has a huge difference. You might be better off counting your luck. For guests/members;- the amount of money you pay for a membership and the ASF collected by CM i do not rate it as a Five star. Glad if it can get away with a 3* but for its accomodation I would settle down with a 4* as having stayed at 5* properties around the world luxury & service should definitely have a special meaning. Negative:- A lot Housekeeping :- The day that I arrived I asked for some tea bags and some milk satchets... never arrived even until the next day after having spoken to the Housekeeping manager. Too lousy. So much so that they dont even lift their heads to see that the wall clock hadent been working for days. The microwave wasnt working Kitchen: Their cabinet bears a kind of stink as like some cockroaches infestation. It beacuse of the humidity acting on those wooden cabinets. Check in: I had to spend 10 min waiting to be attended. When I asked a waiter for a glass of water he directed me to the restaurant downstairs... this after having driven for 4 hrs on the steep mountains. Nobody seem to bother.. No reception.. unlike in Goa where you are greeted on arrival. I think the guys at the reception were busy in their brisk business of accompanied package tours.. Bathroom: Do not have proper labelling for Hot/Cold taps. Guests: Club Mahindra although markets itself as a five star property but the kind of people it gets is equal to or less then 3 star. people blurping loud in the restaurant.. people crowding near the reception area as though it was a meeting point. guests have no decorum. I hired a private cab for sight seeing Coorg. Coorg has its own beauty. Its a wonderful place to spend good time with family. I would definitely go back ... unsure if Kodagu valley would be my choice.

Best Experience: A visit to the MERCARA COFFEE ESTATE: I was unsure if my mother and my Mother in law were enjoying the place... but i put those doubts to rest when i took them to the MERCARA COLD COFFEE ESTATE.. The variety of plants, saplings for spices was incredible. Coffee beans in various stages... both the moms sort of ignored me & my wife and went busy exploring the place.. Memories are still etched in my mind with the laughter they had. Golden Temple: We paid a visit to the biggest tibetian monestary in India. My toddler who is 2.3 years ran from one door and came out of the other...When he came out of the door he screamed with joy.... like...yeeeeaaaahhh (as though he got freed from clutches)... this when there were about 5-600 monks praying...

Worst Experience: Ghosh: Club Mahindra itself... its all there in the review

It\'s one of the best holidays we have had. Thanks to the impecable service from CM and their staff. The staff and their service is the highlight of this place in addition to the location and ambience and the multitude of things to do. There was pracatically nothing that we could complaint about. 7 out of 7 for the overall exprience.

Best Experience: The staff go that extra mile to make your stay a grand affair. We (7 of us) wanted to go to visit Nagarhole on a day when they do not have the service, but they made it happen for us. They ensured that we had lunch (as the trip is an all day affair), we had mentioned that we would want specific type of lunch and they made it happen again. We were extremely satisfied and in fact there was so much food we had to give some off. There was one experience with one restaurant which was not pleasant, I ensured that this was raised with the resort manager and within the next 4 hours the entire place was abuzz with activity to ensure that the next meal they served there would be no complaints - they do take feedback seriously and act on the same.

Worst Experience: Nothing.

I stayed at Club Mahindra resort when I travelled to Coorg with family in Nov 2008. Clearly one of the most memorable trips. The resort was one of the best I\'ve ever seen with lots of activities especially for children. The weather was pleasant, though it was slightly cold in the evenings... we had carried light woollens but didnt need it.

Best Experience: The hightlight of Club Mahindra @ Coorg was the staff. From the front office person to the pool attendent, they were extremely courteous and helpful and made us feel at home. Really smart people. I must mention that the staff member who checked me in was one of the most attractive beings I have met and extremely courteous. Wrt sight seeing, Dubare elephant camp and the Golden Temple Monastery are must visit places.

Worst Experience: Food was the only pain point. The resort had their own coffee shop and restaurant but very expensive especially if you are travelling with more than 4 family members. Dinner was priced at Rs. 450/- per head. Since the resort was located pretty far off from town there were not many options outside the resort. You have some food joints at Madekeri (5 kms) but far from satisfactory.

We own two weeks here and really enjoy the location and all that the Club Mahindra Kodagu Valley offers. The Club Mahindra Coorg a great place to stay and made everyone feel welcome. It is a weathered resort but the location more than makes up for it. The staff make sure you have everything you need. When i stayed there the staff were the best. We love the location and can\'t wait until we can return for our second week in Nov. Not for some one looking for 5 stars but just right for the down to earth people!
