Heavenly clouds silently sliding into your collonade that overlooks an aromatic tea estate, giving you a glimpse of the shimmering lake, at times camouflaged by froth, all elevate your mortal and earthly senses to a paradisaical ecstasy. The bard in you involuntarily comes up with liberal lyrics soothing a weary soul in you. Undoubtedly, this is the numero uno of Club Mahindra properties. Our trip to this Lake View property was in February 2008, but it has been very effortless for me to preserve these enchanting musings. The staff was very courteous and extremely polite. Our kid was barely 2.5 years old and I was being extremely cautious with her food and needs. The chief chef indicated that I need not spend time in the kitchenette during a holiday because he takes utmost care in preparing clean and hygienic food for children. Kiddies buffet spread was indeed admirable and the staff was very decorous in packing food for my child on our sight-seeing trips as well, with no extra charges. This was a very warm and affectionate gesture, which indeed is a clinching factor about my Club Mahindra membership. The buffet was quite lavish and extravagant that also included variety of Kerala preparations, which are a must try! The evening activities are also very entertaining and we didn't want to skip them and diligently (read enthusiastically) participated in them every evening.
We spent about 4 days at the Lake View resort and long to do another visit, with these splendid memories still lingering fresh.
The cottages are quite luxurious and very well-maintained.
Room tip: Members must opt for studios. Please book well in advance (6 months prior to the date of travel). Weather is quite chilly and temperatures drastically dip towards dusk, so, ensure to carry sufficient thermals to keep you warm.
