A wonderful property, with great view, and a wide choice of food. We stayed there for about 3 days in April this year. The tall-pine trees swing at the back yard, giving a very picturesque sight of the resort. The resort is smaller compared to the other Mahindra resorts. Its quite far away from the crowded Shimla town, but the entrance could have been well designed. The surroundings are not quite well maintained, un-tarred and muddy narrow roads that you have to trod to explore the scenic beauty of Shimla/Mashobra.
The restaurant is quite big and can accommodate guests quite well during peak seasons. Food is quite amazing and if you are from the South, you will not miss your Idlys and Dosas for breakfast :), which are quite delicious and well made. The restaurant supervisor Mr.Raj was quite friendly and catered to our requirements very promptly.
The staff is quite courteous, but you have to repeatedly make requests for services. The front desk appeared quite tardy and looked quite uninterested on the day of the check in. The travel desk is highly exorbitant and you will end up spending quite a bomb if you want to explore the places nearby. Instead, you could contact the Modi taxis, which is located just at the entrance of the resort. Mr. Pankaj Modi is quite helpful and offers reasonable rates and travel suggestions. So, beware of the travel desk!
The activities for the children are quite sad and below the club mahindra standards. There's nothing much the kids can do at fun zone. The camp-fire activities during dinner (only on weekends) were fun and enjoyable.
If you have visited the Mahindra properties in the south (Munnar, Coorg, Ashtamudi, or even Goa), you will definitely feel that the Whispering Pines has a looooong way to go.
