GRT Nature Trails Reviews

new hotel with best ambiance, nice rooms with glass floors. Though the food was expensive we enjoyed staying

Booking and check-in was a pleasant experience. All our questions and clarifications on the package were answered and all the inclusions were adhered too. Service thorughly professional, pleasing and friendly. Well spread out and sumptous buffet. The room was well furnished with a breathtaking valley view where one could spend several hours enjoying the cool breeze. The glass view window in the floor gives one a feeling of standing in the valley.

Best Experience: Walking on the sky walk is really breathtaking and gives a feeling of walking in mid air. It really stirs butterflies in your stomach.

Worst Experience: Nothing

Excellent ambience. The climate was cool and the hotel ambience added more pleasure and comfort of a holiday

Worst Experience: Not easily accesable to the city. Little far from the city. When with family and kids ,we need to depend on a can to have strawl of the city

Overall experience was good. Need to improve on the quality of food.

Best Experience: The glass floor to view the valley down, was a good experience. Makes us feel that we are close to nature and makes us think the need for it.

Worst Experience: nil

I booked Panorama view room at GRT online, and travelled from Bangalore early morning Saturday, Reached Yercaud at 11:30, through 5.5 hours drive(relaxed). Road is excellent and recommend others who want to drive to fill fuel in TN as its cheaper there, I had filled tank in Bangalore..:(. As I drove up Yercaud and eager to reach resort, entered to a first gate of Hotel and it was a entrance for Restaurant only, Returned to road and entered next Gate with steep down road( nice view). We were well received and as pleasant surprise I was offered Upgrade to Pool View room for unknown reasons, I had read a review in Holidayiq from other user that some rooms get drainage stink, and I was worried, if Upgrade is due to this reason, However I did not experience any stink. Room was spacious with pool view, Also had a large Balcony with Table and chairs for two. Excellent place to relax. Walk to Room is through Metal staircase which passes through a small Wooden bridge with toughened glass floor also very close to well build small water fall and fishes in tank built attached to falls, My son was excited to see fishes and go in pool. This room also has a bigger bath with A large glass window, giving view of Bed. ( I didn't understand purpose of it, However liked it as its different. Room did not have A/C, we did not feel need of it in peak summer. Had nice Stone wall around well designed furnishing. We relaxed in room for few minutes and then went to (unguarded)Swimming Pool. It is located in heavenly location with greenery and at the edge of a valley giving excellent view. One of the best experience at resort. Spent close to an hour and then moved back to room. Hotel staff was waiting outside room, who said Satellite TV is being repaired and Hotel staff was monitoring the repair staff. After then repaired Satellite Dish, We got fresh. I felt Food at resort is every expensive, Hence opted to drive to Yercaud and see other food options, luckily we found a signboard showing path to Saravanabhavan ( Fast food). Got in their and had light lunch ( Although food was good, place was crowded and no service, so may not be liked by many). Then we went uphill to see few places, Places in Yercaud are not that impressive, Place was too crowded and not kept clean. While returning from TOP hill back to town, we saw a Laxmi temple, and this was great place. I recommend everyone to stop by and visit. We tried to go for boating and that was a bad idea, as crowd in boating location was too big and did not want to spend timing waiting there, We returned to resort. Resort has quite nice activities for kids. Son enjoyed the Magic show they had arranged and, played with other kids who were there. After the magic show, We went to Primary attraction at resort- SKY WALK- and Huge Terrance attached to it. This was another best experience at resort, as this Terrace provide view of Salem city lit at night and they have nice seating arrangement to enjoy view. Overall experience of the resort was excellent though Place it was average due to large crowd in every place ( Summer holiday Rush I guess). Breakfast at resort was complementary and it was nice buffet with decent spread. South Indian/ Paranthas and Continental spread. For night dinner, we opted for room service and ordered simple food, but Time taken to serve food was high, Had to remind multiple time to get some part of dinner immediately as son was getting cranky.

Best Experience: swimming pool location is great and enjoyed it best, Also games room very close to pool was also great. Salem city view from Terrace was next best experience. Balcony of the Pool view room was great experience as it gave view of the green hill with trees surrounding. This would be also best place to plan candle light dinner. ( I guess monkey menace wont be there in night).

Worst Experience: Cost of the food is expensive. Time taken to provide room service
