Palaka Resorts is a fantastic family vacation spot with something for everyone. The pure surrounding, greenery, lawns and the coconut orchard will refresh you. The lawns have been landscaped so beautifully, that you are bound to click a lot of pictures of the lawn. The various lawn ornaments of different animals are just adorable. In addition, the resort boasts of a complete children’s playground (complete with swing, see-saw, slide, others), private paddle boating, badminton, basketball for those who would like to sport around. There is also a great obstacle course in the Coconut orchard for the brave ones apart from enjoying some great lazy walk-around the beautiful green. There is also a bullock-cart available if you want to experience the \'Village-Transport\'.
Being in the middle of the orchards and all the greenery does attract a lot of fauna. You will find some unexpected visitors in your rooms sometimes like frogs jumping around and playing the fool.
The staff is very helpful and willing to go that extra mile to make your stay comfortable and memorable. They attend to your needs anytime you call them – night or day. The restaurant is in the center of the resort serving hot simple delicacies. I wish they had served some more variety especially snack.
The rooms themselves are very comfortable with all basic amenities along with the satellite connection for those who do not want to miss any of their regular shows, cricket, movies, etc. The view from the front side of the room overlooks the gardens and the rear side overlooks the pond and other orchard. A great view sitting in your bed and sipping hot coffee in the morning.
All though there are regular power cuts, the resort is equipped with a full generator ensure no interruption to your fun.
There are 2 distinct places near the resort that are worth visiting. There is a small dam and a reservoir about 200m from the resort. The view, walk and trekking around is something I truly enjoyed. It is also an ideal place for small family picnic which the resort staff will be more than happy to pack. The second place is the Ranganaswamy Temple at “Hole Kotte” around 5KM towards Hassan. The drive itself on the highway is beautiful with fields and a railway line passing along where definitely you will see a train go by. It brought back some memories from my childhood. The climb to the temple has surprisingly fantastic roads and a view that you have to visit to appreciate. The temple itself is very well constructed and going by the infrastructure, is very heavily visited. One may want to keep in mind that the template closes around 4:30PM. There is a also a small Ganesh temple on the way to this temple which was also very nice.
